Sammi looks just as perfect in real life as she does in the picture!

I am 99% sure she got them from VivienofHolloway.com (or the shop) before she redesigned her site and hasn't put them back on. I emailed her recently as she said earlier in the year she'd start doing longer lengths in her trousers, and she said she has the trousers and overalls (all made from the Simplicity pattern you can buy from Evadress) in her shop, so I hope she puts them back online too.

I run an old fashioned YMCA canteen at a swing music festival and she came along at about 1am with some friends but I didn't know who she was! Was only when she was in the Daily mirror I suddenly realised!
I have two pairs of her wide leg trousers. Only complaint is, they run small and I wish she did a longer leg length, but I do love them, they look great with a jacket or little knit.

Wow!.....

Thanks for posting that! Those ladies have style in spades! I love the way each one has taken vintage fashion and put their own personal twist on it.

She does do a longer leg lenght, as per my post above! She's also sizing by waist and hip now so no buying 2 sizes bigger than normal to get them to fit!

Thank you for sharing! It's nice to see articles about vintage that are well-done and not cheesy
