Announcement
We take garments from the past and translate them into clothes for wearing today, either in everyday life or when you dress up. Our version of vintage.
Our clothes are for anyone looking for quality well-made clothing in natural fabrics, made in the UK in my Yorkshire workshop.
The C18th style shirts & breeches are available in Etsy shop ElgarSisterShop - my sister Jane has her own shop.

5 out of 5 starsAnother beautifully made shirt by a talented seamstress. The seller was so kind as to make the collar extra big for my son. She shipped the garments out quickly and perfectly wrapped. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsGreat pieces and shipped quickly. The quality was great on the smocks and I look forward to having these in my wardrobe! There is a weight in the material for every season I feel. Recommend these artisans wholly. Cheers

5 out of 5 starsThe vest arrived about 10 days ago. I've been wearing this when it's a little cooler outside to keep my shoulders warm, and it works very well. Thanks
