'the pants have landed!'

Hi Irene, The pants arrived here this morning, while I was out. I'm delighted with them, they're even prettier that they appear on the web site! Thanks for the tips about washing them, it's much appreciated.

'you star'

Thank you!! I bought a bag from you at the festival and i can assure you it's used every day! The bag and purse are for my bridesmaid as a thank you for freezing her bits off on our wedding day, I'm sure she'll love it as much as i love my bag!! They have arrived safe, sound and very cool!! Your bags should come with a government health warning-highly addictive however sure fire cure for seasonal affective disorder!!

'Thank you'

Dear Irene,
Skirt and blouse arrived safely last week and they are wonderful..better than I thought they would turn out! So thank you very much!
Looking forward to see what the waist cincher looks like with it all!

Thanks again

'congratulations'

Dear Irene,
congratulations on your wonderful designs. They came to my attention on Monday at the opening of the Edinburgh Film Festival. I noticed Brian Cox's wife Nicole was wearing a stunning tartan corset and she told me it was all down to you. I am an opinion columnist for The Scottish Sun. Whenver I go to a function or do TV I always try to wear a bit of tartan to fly the flag. But oh how I struggle to keep it up with little in the shops.

Many thanks

St. Andrews Day ballgown

Hi Irene, Just wanted to let you know that the corset and skirt both look fantastic,-thank you so much! and went down a treat at the ball with loads of complements from interested parties (had no hesitation to spread the word about the Impractical Clothes name and web address, hope you don’t mind!). Have attached a picture of the final product in case you wanted to see it.
By the way, loved the feel of the corset, have never had such good posture or a waistline like that.
Thanks again for all your help. I really, really appreciate all your hard work!
Now what can i purchase next from your store...?!

'I love that bag'

Hi Irene,
I have just received the bag I have ordered and I think it is beautiful. I visited Edinbrough about three years ago and bought the smallest version of the bag on a market. I love that bag so on a rainy day I googled impractical clothes and found your website. When I saw that there is also a larger version I ordered it immediatedly. And now I can take one with me for every occasion, to work or a party. Thank you for making these beautiful bags!!!

Good luck in the future, I'll keep an eye on the website and I'll definatedly tell all my friends about you.

'Amazing night–amazing dress'

Hi Irene, just to say thanks so much for helping me to feel a million dollars at the ESBC Ball - the dress was amazing & I got no end of compliments in it.
Thanks so much - you're a star!

'wondering if you do clothes for men?'

Hi
Cool clothes. Recently bought a tie in your stall in the Spiegeltent in Edinburgh, very nice. Very cool tie, best I've ever found!

Pete S, Aberystwyth, Wales (tie)

Merci - c'est jolie

J'ai reçu la robe samedi et elle superbe ainsi que le petit sac. Elle tombe juste bien et je trouve que le tissu donne bien avec le style de la robe. Le sac est très joli et ça fait bien assorti à la robe. C'est une robe de cérémonie (je pourrais aller aux Oscars avec : c'est ce que Rémy m'a dit).

Re: Dress

Hi Irene,
I've tried it on and it fits and I love wearing it! Can't wait to get to the sunshine now - leaving on Friday! I think the trim is fantastic - especially how you've actually woven it in to the top of the bodice. It's such a treat for me to wear something that actually fits in every direction, and is still funky and stylish.

If I got some slinky evening fabric could you make the same dress in a night-time version??
