How Do Bowes Threads Do London?






 So We Had a Trip To London Yesterday and It was Far From a Boring Trip!



Katie stands on children.

We run off the tube after realising we are on the WRONG one!

Get misunderstood so that Bowes becomes Bird and nobody knows what we're saying!

We get nervous giggles waiting for our meeting and then tell the lady we will be Fruity when we return from the pub to collect our bag!

Go to the Lock Tavern in Camden for a beer where the lady thought we asked for Lager and Lamb not Lager and Lime!

We then return from Camden and run down Oxford Street in fits of giggles to pick up our bag in time!

Then we eat burgers and drink pints like the Northerners we are!





All in all it was a very successful, very funny and a very crazy day for us Bowes Threads girlies! 
But we loved every minute! 

All will be revealed shortly!

A Little Of Last Year!

Taking inspiration from Emma Watson's 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2' Oscar de la Renta premiere dress; Sarah created this stunning prom dress for our gorgeous model, Karma!





Karma loved the style and design of Emma Watson's dress so Sarah recreated the look with a layered satin and lace bodice and a full  length satin skirt; layered and feathered with chiffon, silk and netting in blues, silvers and nudes.

We think Karma looked absolutely beautiful in this dress!

We would love to do more custom prom dresses any enquiries please email us!
