TROUSERS to suit every shape, lifestyle and occasion

This is one of my exciting finds - TCL (The Clothes Lady) designs trousers that are easy to wear, stylish AND made in the UK.

These trousers are so practical they will take you from school run to office, meetings to an evening out. The trousers are designed for maximum comfort with every shape in mind.  The fabric on the Basic design is 98% cotton and 2% spandex with a waistband that will fit perfectly.

There are 3 trouser shapes -
Basic - straight leg in sizes 6-16
Audrey - cropped narrow leg sizes 8-16
Victoria - wide legged sizes 8-16

Colours  - black, blue, cream, pink, white and brown (depend on the size and shape) and all machine washable.

RED NOSE RUNWAY - All Saints Church, Hove

The brainchild of Lou Featherstone to put on the biggest fashion show possible to bring the local community together and raise money for Red Nose Day 2013.

Lou sourced 25 local shops and designers to show their outfits on the runway.  There were 185 outfits on the catwalk.  Everyone volunteered from the backstage to the models.  We had a dog, lollipop man and 50+ children.  I was asked to stage the main part of the catwalk and to stage manage the show.  500 tickets were sold and the evening raised £2,400.

What a fabulous evening.

The Pencil Skirt for Spring/Summer 2013

Roland Mouret

The pencil shirt featured strongly on the designer catwalks and therefore you will see all types coming into the high street shops now.

Lengths vary from very short to above the knee and below the knee.

Tailored classic styles worn in the work place are so smart and with a jacket forms the perfect suit.

There are designs with slits to show a 'bit of leg' and ruffles and frills.

Think of 40's glamour with Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Munroe - perfect look for evenings and occasions.

This spring/summer colours are:-
Monochrome
All white
Red
Blue
Yellow
Fluorescent - acid lemon, neon pink and orange
Metallic
