Retro Clothing
NEW SIZING!!
All clothing is made by myself in my little workshop (ok it's a large garden shed) in South Oxfordshire. I source good quality fabrics, often quilting fabric, which I buy direct from the importer. The fabrics are sold in retail shops for approx £15 per metre. I buy invisible zips, sewing threads, ric rac etc from my local haberdashery shop (Masons in Abingdon). I try to buy genuine vintage buttons but these are not always available when I need them. I was very lucky to be able to ask Rachel at Oh So Flamingo to make some buttons which I have used on my men's shirts and waistcoats. Please feel free to drop me a line if you have any queries.
