My Bio
I am a couturiere, costumiere, corsetiere with over 40 years experience. I have been dressmaking for as long as I can remember, I made clothes for myself while I was at primary school, as I became more interested in fashion I became more interested in the history of fashion and the underpinnings that give clothes the shape they appear to be. So I learned how to make corsets, farthingales, paniers and petticoats.

I love sewing, it is my passion and now my livelihood. I continue to learn new techniques and improve my old ones. When I stop learning then it's time to give up!

My current delivery schedule is 6-8 weeks from confirmation of order, I'm versatile and willing to try almost anything...

Current Residence: France, 40km south of Limoges
deviantWEAR sizing preference: Womens 2XL or Mens XL
Operating System: Windows 8 since my old faithful died :-(
Shell of choice: Silk
Wallpaper of choice: Not Flocked
Favourite cartoon character: Earthworm Jim
Personal Quote: Do as you would be done by.

Favourite Movies
Princess Bride, Pans Labyrinth, and others...
Favourite Writers
Probably Terry Pratchett
Tools of the Trade
Sewing machines, scissors, needles, quality materials, my eyes, my hands, my heart
Other Interests
History of Textiles & fashion, corsets and currently converting an old Fench barn into a house.
It's been a while, too long. I now have the Deviant Art App on my phone. Maybe I'll update more frequently. We'll see.

I've been neglecting my Deviantart account. I'm still here, still sewing, still making corsets and costumes. It's time to add some up to date images.

It's been a while, a long while, I let my premium membership slide, I let everything slip, I have pictures to post and I haven't posted them, I have work I haven't photographed, some of it is exceptional and I have no record of it. But now I have a new fire in my belly. I have just got home after two weekends on the trot of exhibiting my work, first in the UK then in Paris, I have a list of orders I have to complete which may well mean few journal updates but will hopefully mean more photo's of work. I bought myself a new lap top so I can work on photo's in the evenings in the comfort of the living room instead of getting cold in the works
