Dear liberty – Fashion About Outfits, Fashion Trends and Clothing Sales

I lastly got over to Liberty, as well as … well, it was disappointing, to state the least. They’ve reduced the area provided over to dressmaking materials again, to about 3/4 of what it was the last time I was there, which was itself about 3/4 of what I saw on the see before that!

Look at exactly how anemic (or, as I’m over here, anaemic) the shelves are:

And when I asked about twill, the clerk (who I acknowledged from previous visits) told me that liberty isn’t making twill any type of longer — “no one was buying it,” she said. Well!

So, being in the UK, I’ve decided to compose a sternly-worded letter to Liberty, in the really hopes that they will reevaluate their decision to essentially abandon the house modiste …

Dear Mr Williams:

I visited the dressmaking materials department of liberty in Regent street this week. liberty is usually the highlight of any type of trip I make to London, as well as the materials department is the highlight of any type of trip to Liberty.

However, I was tremendously disappointed. Not only did I walk away without having made a material purchase (which has never occurred before!) I was likewise greeted with the dispiriting news that liberty has decided to stop creating their styles in twill.

Although I have lately seen liberty prints offered with partnerships with other manufacturers (Lands’ End, Converse) as well as I believe that is a lovely development, I would dislike to see liberty abandon the house dressmaker, particularly as rate of interest in stitching as well as dressmaking has been surging recently, on both sides of the Atlantic.

I was told that people haven’t been buying the twill, as well as that’s the reason for stopping production. may I suggest that people aren’t buying it since it is so difficult to obtain? liberty does not offer online, as well as I have been hearing from independent shops in the us as well as Australia that liberty is likewise reducing the number of patterns offered to them. If you want to offer your fabric, you should be making it more available, not less! I buy at least twenty lawns of liberty lawn, twill, as well as wool materials a year (and I buy at least sixty lawns of material overall in a year, as well as commonly more, mainly online), as well as I would buy more liberty if more patterns as well as weights were offered to me. If I could, I’d sew with nothing however Liberty!

Liberty is by far my preferred fabric. The prints are outstanding as well as the high quality of the weave is unmatched. I, as well as many other house dressmakers, will be heartbroken if this downward pattern in the number as well as availability of patterns continues.

Sincerely,

etc., etc.

I’ll print this out as well as mail it on genuine paper (more likely to be taken seriously) when I return to Chicago. So tips welcome in the meantime. I wished to begin it with the extremely British “Sirs:” however since the name of the head of client service is available, it didn’t make sense not to utilize it. If you’d like to compose or email as well, details are right here …
