Last week was a seven day work week. What with all the dressmaking and styling. A good week nonetheless.

Apart from the off the shelve orders, I love getting the bespoke orders where clients allow me creative control. On this occassion it was Claire Bear desperately seeking a Katy Perry, Dita Von Teese and Betty Boop dress. Oh goody! I got to sketching, she picked (but not mixed), then I got to working! Me Me was sewing day and night to ensure Claire Bear was the best dressed bear at the picnic. Mind you, if she were an animal she would be a red hot sexy minx, but affection prefers Claire Bear. Somehow Claire minx doesn't work. So, on the day the teddy bears had their picnic, well her fabulous Birthday Garden Party, picnic time saw Claire Bear wear a pure silk satin (tube) mini married so dramatically well with guinea fowl feathers. She looked ab fab darling! Really! I'm not just saying that because I made it. She did...So, picnic time for the teddy bears, the lovely teddy bears are having a wonderful time today (well, Sunday gone). So without further ado, I would like to present to you, the finest looking bear this side of town, it's the one, the only CLAIRE BEAR.
