2 items I customised a little while ago....soon to be on Ebay as we (Sowe) don't have any fairs booked over the summer, at the moment!
What do you think?
Enjoy

P.S The images aren't exactly Vogue worthy but its just a copy of what will be posted on Ebay...and my model in unavailable ; )
This Sunday you can visit over 70 stalls of Vintage (and customised - that’s what I'm bringing for you!) clothing, accessories, jewellery, art and furniture. Perfect for the start of your xmas shopping, you will easily find some stocking fillers or even better the perfect gift!
This is the BEST Vintage fair in Birmingham right now on a regular basis...I’ve been to many and the variety and quality at this event is great!
Admittance is £1 and it is busy all day so arrive from 11am to beat people to the bargains or later in the afternoon for a nice browse in great atmosphere....I’m bringing all of our winter goodies, coats and woolies....beautiful skirts, dress and tops and £5 bargain buys (a suitcase full!!!) Amongst all of our customised and vintage jewellery, purses, scarves, and gorgeous bags...the usual people! You know we’ll sort you out...look out for me representing “Sowe”. I’m not sure what I’ll be wearing yet, but my pics above and I’ll def help you find what you want! ; )
Sutton Vintage & Arts Fair - Sutton Town Hall, 11am-5pm (No entry before 11am)
Sat Nav’ers - Upper Clifton Road - B73 6AB
Plenty of parking available for £1 across the road all day - so browse away!!!
Be there or be square

P.S Scroll down to older posts for piccies of some of our stock. Some being the KEYword - I have to drag 200+ items of clothing, a suitcase full of bags, 3 hatboxes & 2 satchels worth of jewellery and a suitcase of bargains there for you, but your worth it IF you find something you love! ; )
Its my birthday and i'll whine (as in dance) if I want to!
Finding a dress, or outfit of any kind these days is almost impossible for me, they are always too "samey" or cheap looking or way way WAY out of budget...yes, I do dream of one day owning something in Vogue, I'm talking multiple digits when I say out of budget!!! What can I say I'm fussy!!!
So for the past year or so I hav made of ALOT of my going out ensembles, or customised a classic little number...there is nothing better than when someone says;
"I love your ----- , where did you get it?"
Anywho, back to my original trail of thought, its my birthday soon and I have planned (and started) making a skirt to go with my "old faithful" black top....great on the budget front and if all goes well it will look good...(fingers crossed) see what you can make out!

A few of my customisations or complete creations...I'm no Chanel seamstress but I'll give it a go!ha ;)
One of my favourite dress ever! - was a long vintage dress with a flared hem, cut and sewn and boobtube added and wall-ah! LOVE!
A complete stich-up...it took me two attempts to make this...any-who no piccys of me in it, just one of my backside at Faraz's at the end of the night which I guessed no-one would like to see!!!haha
Not really too much of my creation, the cape I'm wearing is an A-mazing vintage petitcoat but has the smallest arms you will ever see, so I temporarily converted it into a cape for a wedding, instant coverage to remain demure!ha
Rihanna got me dreaming of colour blocking the day she rocked the pink crop and orange troos, another instance when I could'nt find what I wanted in the shops, so I literally wore fabric! Works for me....(Well, hopefully : s)
An oldie...a couple New Years back I went shopping with my friend Jenna to Cow, and found a really gordy dress, and here's me wearing it!!!haha With the help of my mom, we changed the skirt to angular shape rather the stiff floppy mess it was before and turned it from 80's trash to a piece I loved, not many would but thats my style all over, its marmite....
An classic white dress from ASOS I couldn't resist studding down the back, a copy from a black dress I did earlier last year...Don't mind the pics, my face looks awful!
A dress I customised for the stall but doesn't look great on me...candy colours creep up the back of the dress and back down the right arm....perfect for this seasons candy trends!
