The first wedding dress I ever made. I never asked what made this young bride trust a very green 20 year old with her special dress, but trust me she did and I am forever grateful. That trust opened the doors to others and set me on the path I have walked for the last 17 years. A bodice of Chantilly lace, a skirt of silk chiffon and Nottingham lace. You never forget the first.

Firstly, a huge huge thank you to all our amazing makers and customers for all your hard work, support and for making our Summer Pop Up the event that it was.

This is not the post that we thought we would be writing now, but as we came to the end of this pop up it became apparent to us that we are both running on empty.

These pop ups take a considerable amount of time and effort from both of us and several members of our families, and are very intense when they are open. We love what we have built in the last 5 years, but if we want to be able to do this more we have concluded that we need to take some time to step back and get some rest and space to explore future options.

Therefore, it is with heavy hearts that we have made the decision not to run a November Pop Up this year. We do apologize to our makers and customers who have already enquired about it, and believe us this decision was not made lightly.
We love the creative community that we are lucky enough to be a part of and wish you the very best in the months to come and are sorry that we won’t be out there with you this time.

Treat the mums-to-be in your life to a special treat this Mother’s Day - my maternity leggings are perfect for pregnancy and post partum use, with a wide waistband you can unfold over a bump, or fold down around your hips. SUPER gentle on your tummy, no elastic, and low seams so as to not irritate abdomen scars. I just have these fabrics left, on sale now at the pop up shop at Paternoster row, Carlisle. We’re only here until 9th March so get down there quick! Xx
