Make a note in your diary for Saturday and Sunday, May 22 and 23rd.
Rajah Tandon,
one of the families in Lucknow that has been supplying my clothes
for very many years will be in England and we will be having a
selling weekend in the stable yard.
We
will be joined by friends who deal in unusual clothes and
textiles, Lucias wardrobe etc. from 11am to 4.30pm. We shall be
offering hot or cold drinks, but down the hill The Coleshill Village
Shop does teas, coffees and snacks - and there will be an art
exhibition - and our pub, The Radnor Arms will also be open.
My
yearly catalogue usually comes out about then and I am currently
looking for new fabrics to use for the general favourites in my
range, the kaftans and the long kurta shirts and the dresses
and shawls.
Meanwhile
to make some space on my shelves;
-
I
am reducing the no 16 kaftan in the bold black/red/white or
yellow/red/black from £44 to £22
-
51,
the wool Kashmiri pherron, an overgarment - great for gardening
and walking - from £45 to £30
-
10A
the gagara made in fine dhoti cloth which is a bit see-through
in pink or white from £45 to £29.
The
Indians have very delicate bones in comparison to ours and while
their sizing is
generally pretty accurate, they sometimes go totally wrong and make
things in extra big sizes. I received some sleeveless
nightgowns recently which are vast - the scoop neckline is
about 16 ins wide but I am sure a needlewoman could adjust the
straps or something;
-
They
come in a pretty blue flowery pattern on a fine white cotton,
and are reduced to £16 from £32.
-
Blouses
13 with a draw stringed V-neck in blue or pink Ikat, white
applique blouse 22 with a scoop neck, or 23 with a V-neck,
are all reduced now to £15.
-
Kurta
26 embroidered and decorated with glitter come in bright pink or
white, £15
-
Nightgowns
17 and 12 are reduced from £35 to £15.
-
I
have a few indigo dyed cotton jackets from China only in small
size which measures 45 ins at bust level, lots of pockets,
one inside with a zip, hardwearing and practical, just £15.
Best Wishes,
Denny.
