After a frank conversation in Zoë's kitchen, (you'd be amazed how much happens in here) Claire told us the AW09 Fitted Lace Dress ripped on its first outting in two places We were horrified it didn't last the distance and immediately recognised this was a big problem. As a result we have introduced a lining with stretch for this style. This will prevent the problem from happening again.

Realising how valuable this feedback was and how good it would be to know if there was a problem with any of our other dresses we thought well why not! And so Claire has now become our Resident Product Tester - a straight talking no bars held socialite who is on a mission to test our dresses to their limits.

Here you can read her comments and views on how our Designs cope on a night out, whether it's one with the girls, a date with a handsome young man or a glitzy glam night out in a London club.
