hi Irene
 
Looking to purchase one of your lovely Caftan Frocks for my wife for Christmas however I am unsure of the sizing. My wife recently purchased a Lucy Lu size medium 12-14 (and is very happy with her purchase!!). The Caftan sizes appear to be XS 8-12 and Med 14 -18 , very confusing for a male 8-). What size would you recommend?
 
Since 'discovering' you at the Southbank Markets my wife hasn't stop raving about you - keep up the good work!
 
Regards
Kel 

 

 Dear Irene
 
What can I say?
 
I love my pink corset frock!!! Thank you very much.  Thank you for taking the time and resizing for me.  I honestly wasn’t sure whether this would work because…I have never worn XS.  I doubted the beautiful pink dress was for me.  But, your sales assistant that night said she was sure S was too large (does THAT makes one feel awesome or what??) on me and that surely it could be resized to fit just ME.  So I went along crossing my fingers that with the princess dress magic was possible.  And, it was….or, maybe it’s because of your beautiful design, giving in where it needs to and showing off where we’d like to?  Of course that is so.  So, thank you again.  This is my verse to your woman-centered design, the gorgeous fabrics you use, and my newly found princess frock.

Dear Irene

I came across your gorgeous designs at The Collective Store two days
ago and haven't stop raving to my friends about them. In fact, I
purchased the Ruffle Tunic Frock in subtle cloud print and in grey
cotton. I love them so much and cannot wait to wear them this weekend
for my husband's birthday and father's day respectively.

As a mother of 4 month young twins who is used to wearing lovely
clothes and have 'neglected' herself of late, your designs are the
first outfits I have bought for myself in 8 months! Thank you for
inspiring me with your designs and for 'allowing' myself two gorgeous
self gifts which are not 'baby stuff'!

I look forward to your new creations and to more wearable stunning
pieces for mums who juggle both work and life.

Appreciatively,

Mags 

 

 Irene, Just a quick note to say a big thank you and congratulate you on your market stall. I visited the markets at the Old Museum on Sunday with three of my four "twenty-something" daughters. We were all very taken with your fashions. One daughter was thrilled to buy a lovely black gown for a formal function she's attending this coming weekend. She had lost hope of finding something suitable, comfortable, flattering and well-priced - not to mention stunning and so unique. I also made an unexpected purchase - a cowl necked dress which all my daughters (and even my husband!) tell me looks terrific. The fabrics of both dresses are also so suitable for travel which we all do frequently. Nothing better than to be able to pull a stunning "dressy" dress out of a suitcase and not have to get it ironed.
So just wanted to thank you for the lovely service we received and encourage you to keep doing what you're doing! I've noted the locations where your fashions are available so we can all bear it in mind when looking for that special something.
Regards,
Karen Salvaterra

These pants are so comfortable they feel like tracksuit pants but look so stylish, I find it hard not to consistently go for them first.  K. Wyatt

Truly divine fabrics, soft and high quality, I am amazed how you keep the prices so good!  Thank you look forward to buying from you again soon.  L. Pickett

Your designs are one of 3 that I buy on a regular basis, your quality is consistently good.  Your service is so warm and inviting and I love it that you take up my pants before I get them.  Someone who thinks of the short person.  N. Lawler

Hi Irene!
 
First of all THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I am utterly besotted with my new corset dress! I ordered the black embroderie anglaisee and it's gorgeous! This is now my new favourite dress - it gives me curves in all the right places! Woo hoo!
Was wondering if you are going to release the dress in any other lighter coloured print fabrics??? I'd definitely be keen for that!!!

Your rolldown pants saved me through my pregnancy and I still love wearing them.  My bum looks so great in them no matter what is happening back there.  Casey

I just wanted to let you know how much I love the clothes I bought from you.  I'm a fuller figure girl with a big bum, thighs and tummy, however I still like to wear sexy clothes and feel good.
I bought a couple of pair of shorts off you and a loose off the shoulder top from the Valley markets on Saturday.  Well I have already worn my Bermuda shorts in which I felt so comfortable and actually felt trendy in a pair of shorts for once..
I wore the top to the pub for a few drinks with my friends and i had so many comments from my friends and complete strangers about how gorgeous my top was and how sexy I looked in it.  So I found your website and emailed it to my friends, I will definitely be buying more clothes from you in the future!!!  Thank you for bringing my 'sexy back'          Thanks Melissa.

I would like to let you know how excited I am to finally find the perfect pair of pants.  As I have just had my baby girl 5 months ago, today was the first time I have felt sexy in your gorgeous design, and I only had them on for 5 mins.

I met you on Saturday and bought a pair of stretch denim pants which I have been wearing since because they are soooo comfy on my bump.  I am onto ordering more.  B. Lewis

I’ve been wearing your clothes daily – I had to wash my jeans yesterday (denim Grace pants) and it was very depressing not to be able to wear them!!! I’m thinking about getting another pair. And a pair of shorts, and another work shirt. Oh dear, I should just get a sign made up saying “Dressed by Irene”. V. Vanderent
