Eva...

My re-designed version of Eva! 

Eva is a chiffon and lace dress

The delicate lace bodice has capped sleeves and a full button opening down the back. 

Eye lash fringed edging is hand sewn to the neck line, sleeves and at the waist. 

There is a silk wrap around waist tie made to match the color of the under dress.

The chiffon is gathered and full at the bottom to give an elegant floating skirt.

Pair Eva with our champagne under dress for a vintage feel.

Oh Alice

We finally got around to meeting up with Alice post wedding and was so happy to hear how everything’s going!

A lot of praise for the wonderful dress which I’m so happy to have done for her, it couldn’t have looked better on anyone else! With a little one on the way and a change of house, she’s kindly let us ‘foster’ the dress for a little while so we can show it off to all!!

Here are some beautiful photos from Alice and Matths big day!

Couldn’t have been happier with the sweet card she made us either - It’s so lovely to know how happy someone is with something you’ve made them!

It’s been lovely, and we definitely cannot wait to see her and the little one in the shop very soon!

Our very own Alice in Wonderland! (Wonderdress)

A Grand Day Out…

Today was the last stall we’ve had lined up for the rest of the year! (devastating news I know) but on the plus side, we’re setting up online! Some consolation?

We turned up this morning after a 5am start from the E&W household and a 3 hour drive not knowing what to expect and apart from the weather (which did hold off) everything was amazing! Powis Castle is a beautiful place and we had a prime spot staring at it all day…

We took everything we could find from home and the shop that was red, white or blue to make a lovely rail of clothes and I finished off the Jubilympics dress just in time!

Yet another busy day ahead for the up-cycling combo… We have a dip dyed sheet ready to be transformed into King and Queen capes for the quirky Cowbridge Hub procession and then our celebrations are over.

Hope everyone’s had/has an amazing Jubilee long weekend , we saw some street parties on the way back that looked amazing but my camera had run out of battery :(

Lots of love 

Display ‘Case’

I just couldn't resist these!! They’re from a beautiful new(ish) shop in Cowbridge, very reasonable! And perfect for a new display…

Its been a busy few weeks with us at E&W, as always, but these weeks especially! With the upcoming jubilee weekend we’ve been all out union jacking and 50’s making. 

We have a lot of updates, and a website in progress that we promise we will let you all know as soon as its set in stone! Everything feels like its up in the air at the moment, and we cant wait to get back down to earth.

I'll keep you posted on the way down!

E&W

Alice’s wedding dress is half done! It looks absolutely stunning and cant wait to see how it all comes together…

We have spend about a fortnight cutting out each individual applique ready to be stitched back on, the back is going to be covered in pearl buttons and the gold appliques look absolutely amazing against the ivory satin!

Its been a massive process, and very time consuming, but I’m so happy I've got the chance to make something this beautiful with fabric like this!

Salut!

Good afternoon everyone!

My laptop has finally been fixed and I am back on the blog posts! Its been a catch up few weeks - we have sorted and cleaned, fixed and stitched and now we are back on form.

We have a massive project at the moment that we need all the support we can get! So please get your orders in, pick out your party dresses, tell your friends, like us on facebook and spread the E&W eco word! 

We have had a mention on a few blogs after attending the Bath In Fashion - Vintage Sunday which is always lovely to see! If you have any pictures of yourselves in anything you’ve bought from us - we’d love to see it! Just tag us on facebook, post a link to us on your blog or tweet us @scofee and get 10% off voucher for our stall in Happy Days!

May will see us concentrating on our 1950s eco look! If you haven’t made plans for the Diamond Jubilee yet - check out ‘A Grand Day Out’ at Powis Castle on the 4th June! With 24 vintage stalls, a vintage fairground, Champagne cream teas and finger sandwiches! See their facebook here

This month is wedding fever - with a dress to finish, 3 bouquets and 23 button holes to make! I will be posting the wedding dress as I am doing it, I absolutely love the design and although it is not ‘eco’ it has a distinctive vintage style and I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

This month we are also churning out the shorts ready for summer! Dip dyed, tie dyed, printed, embroidered and embellished! We ♥ shorts

We will keep you up to date with all of that over the next few weeks, and with what we’re up to! Please keep all the support for vintage, eco and local businesses coming!

Treasures…

So we recently purchased yet another load of random clothing and accessories! (we just couldn’t say no!!)

And in it we’ve found some amazing treasures!

This beautiful writing case is a treasure worth keeping! The inside is in pristine condition and has the original blotting and paper and pen! And also this…

I’m absolutely an completely in love and do not think I can ever get rid of it! Hand embroidered and completely beautiful, perfect condition - the colors are amazing!

We’re also completely stocked up on hats and fascinators, vintage gloves (leather and fabric) all amazingly detailed and absolutely fabulous!

We can’t wait for our photo shoot next week to show them all off…

Something New…

We had a fab day at Something Kinda Vintage wedding fair today…

Great atmosphere, loads of people and the girls looking gorgeous in E&W couture.

It makes me so excited to get making!

Next, we are tackling Vintage Sunday, taking place in Bath on 1st April but not before our photo-shoot next week to showcase all the latest creations and taking part in Cowbridge Fashion Week ‘Fringe’ showing how to and helping students to up-cycle and re-cycle their own clothing into something eco-couture!

Lots of love

I’ve been putting off starting this blog for some time, but finally here it is!
It's really just for me to keep up to date on everything I’m doing and have to/want to do, but I can show anyone who wants to see it all too.I love doing what I do, I love creating and I love finding little treasures in different cities and countries. I hope everyone else will love it all someday too!
