Do you like getting dressed up? Are you always waiting for an invite to a fancy dress party? Who would you most like to be? My fantasy has always been to be like Lizzy - if you don’t know who I’m talking about then I will elborate...I spent years watching, loving Pride and Prejuidice (BBC production) and always wanted to be Elizabeth Bennett (Lizzy) or Jane, maybe even Lydia but mainly Lizzy. 

My other love, are some old classic movies from my childhood : Bugsy Malone, Star Wars, Watcher in the woods, Now Voyager, The old Maid, Gone with the Wind, An affair to remember, Lace, Rebecca, Pretty Woman and of course the 80’s soaps. If I have a party to go to or my children need to dress up for a school event or Halloween, I try not to buy the normal mundane, the outfits everyone has got. I love being different and standing out...so when one of those events is coming up, I adore going out to second hand shops and trawling the internet for something cool, innovative and different. We all have busy lives so by assembling the character outfit for you (including accessories) saves you time and effort finding the right unique outfit for your event/party. 

In the past I have dressed up as the green girl at Jabba’s bar from Return of the Jedi and recently I put together an outfit for my daughter looking like Harlequin for Halloween - see photos. My ensembles do not always look exactly the same as the character but you get the feel/style of that person and you get something unique! You can always wear it again too! If none of my outfits and ensemble of items match what you are looking for I am happy to search for you, if given enough time before your event. N.B. Costings would depend on the items wanted and if you like part of an outfit but want to accessorise it differently, send me an email and will help. Predominantly, I source items that are vintage or used, so we are helping the environment and small businesses. Anything you want...want to be like anyone??? Can I help?
