Well, at long last I've got round to putting a new post on my blog! It's been almost non stop the whole summer, except we did actually have a holiday (Rhodes!) the first in 9 years.
Just thought that I'd let you all see my latest commission, an 'Elizabethan' inspired wedding dress which was worn by the bride last Monday for the wedding which took place in a castle in Scotland.....don't have the official photos yet, but here are some taken in the studio before the dress departed. You can see more photos and read details of the construction on my website: www.bobbiesroom.co.uk
See below....
A new website is now being planned as well, with hopefully a lot of new and interesting content, including my vintage clothing collection, (great for customers style inspiration), and pages for other strands of the business including my 'Natural History' range. These are designs using Scottish and English (Yorkshire) pure wool and cashmere tweeds and checks with nappa leather trims and top quality leather buttons. Designed and made to be totally functional (robust, warm and hard wearing), lined and with double stitched seams for the trousers. The fabrics are an inspiration in themselves....
PLUS expansion into another room here! This will give loads more space for fittings of big dresses, and for my teaching of pattern cutting. My studio was never designed with my current business in mind, but will still be great for a workroom, and I will have a lovely place for my students and customers.
Hope you all have a great Christmas, and every wish for good fortune in the New Year
Bobbie
