Many WOMANLY clients prefer not to bare their upper arms. Even if that's your preference, don't overlook sleeveless garments altogether.

It's easy to pop a jacket or cardi - even something semi-sheer - over a sleeveless top or dress.

You'll feel your arms are suitably covered. And a little bit of layering will look modern and skim over your curves.

Handcrafted letters, words and numbers in gorgeous colours and designs.

The house numbers withstand rain and filtered sunlight and can go on any flat surface.

Another great gift idea for the person who has (almost) everything.

An invitation to a summer wedding is a lovely thing. But sometimes it's tricky finding a dressy outfit that makes you look and feel great.

On the one hand are strapless 'prom dresses' for teenagers. On the other hand are garments that can only be described politely as 'matronly'.

At WOMANLY, we work hard to find wedding outfits that you'll love wearing (and that will bring you lots of compliments on the day). Get in touch soon if you're looking for something special.

Designer Nicola Waite enjoys summer so much she offers a second 'high summer' range.

A couple of 'stand out' pieces:

1. A black sleeveless dress to wear alone or over pants. That fabulous cotton/spandex fabric she uses so well and is wonderfully crisp to wear on a warm day. Flattering A-line shape to skim over the curves. Great also over a tee if you prefer a bit of arm cover.

2. A slouchy tee in superfine cotton with a unique print applique on the front. Either black or white - take your pick.

Get in touch if you'd like to try either (or both!)
