“Just a short note to say how thrilled I am with my 'historic' outfits, the antique style riding habit, is not only exquisitely made but your suggestions of the black braid and silver buttons are just perfect. As you can see from the attached photo I am using it for display work with the dogs. The regecy ball gown you have made from my silk sari is stunning and so comfortable. If you would like to show show any of your prospective clients my outfits please do not hesitate to call me." Bronwen, August 2008
