Darla often goes about sporting the sweetest little skirt imaginable. It is a navy-blue nautical-style number, a lovely shape, is absolutely beautifully made, has gorgeous buttons, and hails from the clever needle of our new heroine Peta Pledger.

Peta makes fabulous one-off or short-run garments based on classic fifties styles. We can let you know from experience that her service is lovely, her garments are fantastic and good value for money, and you will be delighted by the neat little details.

Peta does made-to-measure garments which means that you are guaranteed a range of sizing and a good fit. Because this is not mass-produced clothing you won't experience the unfortunate 'size-creep' that afflicts larger concerns, where the sizes gradually become smaller and smaller as materials are economised upon. Peta's garments will always be well-made, because her quality control is very good.

These are garments that will grace your wardrobe for many years, and that you will find yourself wearing again and again as they are classic enough to transcend the vagiaries of fashion. This is what we mean by good value for money: you will pay more than you might at Target, but frankly, less that you would for many ill-made and quickly-out-of-style fashion label garments. With Peta's clothing you will certainly get more than your money's worth.

If you want something well-made and nicely fitted that is a bit different, we recommend contacting Peta at her website: www.petapledger.bigcartel.com.
