Why the wrap skirt is everything!

Many people I've spoken to ended up making life altering decisions. 3 families I know have left the UK for greener climes and another 4 are leaving the big cities for greener spaces where the pace of life is slower and their vistas wider. Normally I am a special occasions seamstress, but not anymore. As the months indoors wore on and everyone started gardening, home schooling and working via zoom I was asked for not just informal wear, but comfortable to absorb and disguise the new spreading waist line while  reflecting the clients own tastes and long buried under work clothes desires.

Awards Ceremony Dressing, When you need to be #gettyimages ready

  Congratulations to @cherrelleskeete for her award of best supporting actress at @thebbtas The Black British Theatre Awards.
