I make my patterns for my height which is 5ft 6”. Length measurements are stipulated for each design often with a longer option. Some of our customers request a shorter length. Please do let me know when ordering if you’d like a further adjustment.
Hand wash or machine wash on a cool cycle. It is best to wash your Withnell pieces on a cool wash with a low rpm spin and shake out immediately. Hang to dry naturally. Medium iron as required
It is a 2-3 week schedule from order to dispatch.

The Story
My first design role took me to Manchester, behind Piccadilly Train station and just off Ancoats. Then (1980s) it was a run down part of the city with old mills by the canal. I loved it! My role was ladies wear blouse designer and we worked in a very old mill. Ducie Street was just around the corner.
