Pinkerton boa

Wear this light-as-a-feather boa / necklace over a simple dress for an easy but dramatic style. The boa is long and floaty, made with 14 blossoms on a single thread. Each blossom is made from recycled fabrics including some old wedding dresses plus some organic fabrics.

We can make the boa shorter if you prefer, with bigger blossoms (see dark blue sample below) and in a wide range of fabulous colours to match or contrast with your wedding colours.



The basic boa is about 1.5m long and has 14 blossoms. It costs £60. Variations are made to order and will be priced according to complexity - with the fancy triple blossom version being around £200.

Corsages

Organic silks and vintage fabrics

We make corsages from recycled and vintage fabrics in several different styles. Some are kept in stock but most are made to order. Please browse the images here and contact us to discuss a bespoke design.

Corsages are supplied with a safety pin back, but can be converted to use as hair decorations, wrist corsages (on ribbon) or hat trimmings.

We can also make fabric flowers into everlasting and thoroughly ethical wedding bouquets.

Recycled leather and vintage buttons

Vintage fabrics and hemp-silk. Vintage ribbons

Extra-large felt corsage for jacket lapel.

Camellia flower with vintage button

Betty Brooch in vintage and recycled fabrics. Small and larger sizes available.

Cuffs

Wrist cuffs are available in a range of colours including cream / white made from recycled wedding dresses, organic silk and vintage lace. Silk-free cuffs are also available, made from recycled or vintage fabrics and organic cotton. £25 each or £45 for a matching pair. Matching scarves also available.

I can also make cuffs to match your wedding accent colour or use fabric scraps left from the making of your own dress.

Neckpiece

This stunning and dramatic silk organza neckpiece is now available in organic silk!

The neckpiece looks more solid than it really is: it is soft and easy to wear and certainly makes a dramatic statement. It just pulls over the head and rests on the collarbones. It is about 25cm diameter.

Organic silk neckpiece in white only made to order £75
Non-organic neckpieces still available in white, ivory, red and black. REDUCED to £50. Buy online via Etsy for $95 (sent from me in the UK, but via an American website).

Clothes

We make non-traditional wedding clothes, mostly based on historic dress.

Our real specialism is customising and adapting vintage or second-hand garments, turning them into something really unique by restyling to suit a modern look as well as customising and embellishing a plain dress or other garment with applique, embroidery, fabric flowers, pleating, ruffles or frills.

We can even embellish boring menswear if you are a groom with a taste for something dapper.

Things I Love: Almost Fall Edition

I'm back friends. And as the days get a little shorter and the temperatures a little cooler, I find myself looking squarely into my very favorite season. I love everything about fall: football games, a hot pink J.Crew Jackie cardigan and my favorite jeans, apple cider, the kids Halloween costumes at OldNavy, the perfect pair of brown boots, the smell of a new, perfect pink eraser (even adults should be able to buy new school supplies).

So, I thought I would put together my list of almost fall favorites. These things will help me transition into the nights of extra blankets and pumpkin pie.

A Note From Cards

O.K. I know I am not a teacher, but I can pretend with these cute notecards.

Bananna Republic Silk Wrap Dress
Have I mentioned to you all that the husband and I both have our 10 year high school reunions in October? So, I am on the look-out for a good night time dress that doesn't look like it is trying too hard. I think this lovely number says, yes, I was in the math club, but I also enjoyed a good Jack Daniel's Watermellon Cooler from time to time.

The Kate Spade Halle Wedge

One word - YUM. I treat myself to a new pair of black work shoes in the spring and the fall. Love these, but the price is a little steep. Good thing Jessica Simpson has been taking time off her day job to design shoes. These are almost as good as the Kate Spade version.

The J. Crew Jacinda Jacket in Honey Glaze

This would be great with jeans for a Saturday and equally great with some navy work pants for a Monday meeting. Love the wearability.

What are your almost fall favorites?
