Welcome to Frock Goddess

I'm Jenny - a textile designer/maker.

My sewing machine is my happy place and I've been sewing & designing since I was 15 years old.

I love simple, low waste design and using sustainable fabrics.

I have also collected some amazing vintage pieces over the years - some of which I will re-work or use the fabric if it is beyond wear.

My work is varied from creating bespoke pieces; reworking vintage pieces; collaborations with artists and museums; and creating accessories from fabric remnants.

I started this business after my second wedding at Victoria Baths Manchester in 2017. That's me in the picture wearing the dress that I made myself of course!

I started out creating sustainable, low key bridal wear and accessories.

Because of my bridal wear background I've acquired several sustainable/ethical accessories and also several vintage wedding dresses along the way that I love to re-purpose into wearable pieces.

Over the last few years I've started to do more collaboration work with artists and have been commissioned to create historical costumes for historic houses in Wales.

My Textile Credentials ...

I have have been sewing since I was 15 years old and have been passionate about fashion, & design ever since.

I have several qualification in design and construction including an NVQ in Fashion Design; an Advanced Pattern Cutting qualification; and a recent qualification on Advanced Construction from the London School of Fashion.

I am obsessed with frocks & fashion however, I am mindful that fashion creates waste. I therefore use sustainable fabrics and particularly love using deadstock fabrics and fabrics leftover from other projects for smaller items.

I also love re-working pieces that are no longer wearable. Therefore, when you buy from Frock Goddess you can feel confident that you are making a sustainable and ethical choice.
