  7. Lovely girls. I love their accessories. And they sure look grown up.
    The stripy socks and the boots really make that outfit, and I love the Class Picnic tunic with the belt.

  24. I feel very lucky they will still wear 'home made'

    Seriously, their clothes are one-off, designer originals, custom made. It won't be something they outgrow; their tastes may change, but if they are interested in clothes and styling, your skills will be in demand.

    Serendipitous to as I took the girls for a browse through a chain store today to get an idea of what they like!

    Thank you for your lovely comment!
