About me
Modern lingerie with a vintage flair. I make and sell bespoke, colourful, vintage inspired lingerie to bold and stylish people. My designs are informed by the knowledge of historical and vintage cut that I gained working in costume for performance for 10 years. During this time it hit me that I loved making clothes not costumes, an what's more, tiny little items of clothing. It turned out that the visiting tutor on my art foundation course telling me to study contour fashion was right, lingerie was perfect for me. Whilst working full time I slowly took courses and taught myself the ins and outs of lingerie construction, whilst taking a few custom orders and selling samples. Now I am branching out into offering a bespoke service for clients. My work focuses on slow, sustainable fashion, a quality product and a personal service. I have come to lingerie design in my own way and now I want to make your lingerie in your own way. Please contact me for quotes and lead in times on custom orders.
