Greetings,
I have opened up a second Etsy shop. This new shop calle:
will concentrate on the original country aprons and clothing and general pretty things etc. If I ever do make more Verity Hope dresses, this is where I will post them for sale.
I do have a couple of pairs of pantaloons and a few Kitty pinafores sitting unfinished in the store room so eventually these will go up for sale but ... not just yet! May even be next year before I can get back to those again.
In the meantime here are some country aprons currently available in the new shop:
Meanwhile I'll be concentrating on these in the usual shop:
After so much demand for the VERITY HOPE DRESS, I have finally sucumbed and have decided to bring it out as a SEWING PATTERN! I've had so many requests over the past six years and now it is time.
THING IS.... I have not yet found anywhere that prints up full scale clothing patterns as small runs.
DOES ANYONE KNOW A COMPANY WHO PRINTS SEWING PATTERNS?
I am based in the UK so that would be preferable but am open to all options. Would really love to offer the beloved Verity Hope dress as a pattern for everyone and have all original seven sizes ready and waiting!
Once I find a company I would also like to publish the pantaloons and aprons, Kitty Pinafore and then who knows what else...
Thank you to anyone who would like to contact me for any info:
I can be contacted in various ways:

I'm getting ready for a completely new handicraft range, so as a consequence, I am selling off current stock at super low prices.
Verity Hope dresses...
and Kitty Pinafores:
have all sold out : ( but there are still a number of pleated and flounce frill pantaloons in the shops...
I have a couple more one off dresses to add over the next few weeks to go with those!
I will be continuing with aprons here and there in the future as well as the handicraft range:
The 'Effortless Elegance' range was a fun one to be a part of...
I love the Neo-Classical style and it was inspired by the Victorian artist Lawrence Alma Tadema
I especially loved working with the little rustic roses...
and beautiful muted toned feathers...
and these lovely corsage buttonholes...
This is the Gretta flounce skirt from the range, made from 100% organic bamboo viscose:
I do get asked alot if I will be bringing back any more Verity Hope dresses in the future, at this point, I really don't know when. I do dream of going into production with them again, in even more sizes including young girls.... if I do, it wouldn't be for at least a year to 18 months while I concentrate on my new venture, but let's see what the future holds.
Thank you for visiting....

For 'one production run only' I decided to produce an additional dress to wear with Pantaloons. I wanted something uncomplicated to throw on and could just sling over a jumper (urm...or 'sweater' depending on where you are)or a light t-shirt for the Spring and Summer. Basically, I wanted as little wardrobe decision making as possible...
So here it is...the Kitty Pinafore Dress (urm...'Jumper' dress, depending on where you are)... Gosh, now I'm confused...
I selected a slate blue gray 100% linen fabric because I wanted a dress I could also sling over jeans and the slate colour looked really nice against denim blue. Of course, it does look nice with good old Pantaloons too...
The KITTY PINAFORE comes in SMALL, MEDIUM and LARGE and is available at:
or
Jeans are great, but at times I just want to feel more dreamy yet still be practical...
The solution?.....Pantaloons!!
These have revolutionised my wardrobe.
Wear them under or outer and if you already have the Verity Hope Dress they go hand in hand...
I have different sizes and styles of Pantaloons in the shops, all styles complement the Verity Hope Dress and Kitty Pinafore...
For further info please visit either:
