What do you do?
I am a self-employed designer and maker of imaginative and innovative, glamorous and funky, retro and contemporary styled ladies clothing and accessories. Besides my Impractical Clothes label, of which many creations are one-offs or ultra limited edition, I also offer a complete bespoke design service, working with customers in all their myriad shapes and sizes to create individual garments of distinction.
