Abigail

Abigail is a midi length yellow skirt with box pleats at the front and a flattering slight dropped hem at the back. Abigail has a zip fastening and beautiful fabric covered buttons. In a former life Abigail was a Laura Ashley bridesmaid dress made from the softest buttery fabric. I took apart the dress and re worked it to make this design. There were simply acres of fabric in this dress so if you like this material look out for more bits coming soon :)

Happy New Year 2015!

I hope you had a lovely Christmas and a happy New Year! I'm back from my travels and ready to make some new designs. I received a very thoughtful Christmas present of some Business cards from my sister designed by her friend Emily. I think this might save me hours of hand stamping old bits of recycled cardboard!

I have sourced some lovely fairtrade organic cotton for new designs but my first priority is to use up my pretty vintage fabric stash so that is what I am busy with right now.

Introducing...

A sneak peek at my first hand made collection! I've been working on these pieces for a while and being made redundant from my day job has given me a much needed kick to get working on my designs. I have drafted some simple wearable patterns to make the most of my second hand fabric stash so each item is very unique. I am looking to source some fairtrade organic bamboo fabrics so I can offer each piece in more sizes so if you like a piece from the collection please do get in touch - I'm up for commissions :) I'll be posting about each piece in the collection as I upload them into my etsy shop www.robesetfemmes.etsy.com
My email is robesetfemmes@gmail.com or feel free to comment below!
