Terrence and Bear
specialises in baby/children’s wear, soft furnishing and handmade gifts and was
started to satisfy my need to be creative. Sewing and tailoring have always
been part of my life due to my Grandmother being a tailor. I have very fond
memories of picking out patterns of dresses I liked and drawing my ideas for my
grandmother to bring to life.
I began my sewing career in Bridal Wear and for the past ten
years have made many bridesmaid, flower girl and wedding dresses. Last year I
was faced with a large number of friends having babies and decided to design
some baby outfits, dresses, bibs and blankets as gifts. The response to the
gifts was incredible and as the word spread, friends of friends began asking
where they could purchase the baby clothes and accessories hence the start of Terrence and Bear.
I get my inspiration for the baby/children’s wear from my
own style which has been described as vintage inspired and classic. Generally I
am happy with a piece if I think I would happily wear it and often have mothers
asking if the dresses are available in adult sizes.
I love traditional fabrics
such as florals in 100% Cotton for Spring/Summer and Tartans, Wools, Tweeds and
Corduroys in Autumn/ Winter. I often use classic designs that fit well and are
practical for both children/babies and parents including back opening dresses,
elasticated waist skirts, waistcoats, bowties and dungarees.
I also offer a made to measure occasion wear service for
example weddings, christenings, birthday celebrations where each item is made
specifically to the customers’ requirements. This is available for both
baby/children and adults
Terrence and Bear is
currently expanding to offer home wear , soft furnishings, gifts and
accessories
