Do you have a garment in your wardrobe that feels like an old friend?You have worn it and worn it, you know it suits you and every time you put it on, it just feels so good........ BUT, you know it is going to wear out eventually (if it hasn't already!) and you will be lost without it.
We can help you recreate the shape so that you can make your own versions of this garment and carry on wearing them for years to come.
