I wondered if there would be a thread for her! She's fairly inoffensive but a few things she's done have rubbed me the wrong way and made her seem a bit entitled.
When she moved back home after uni she complained a lot that she was struggling living back with her parents after being independent, despite having her own separate studio....
Everyone I know after uni had to either get a job as soon as possible so they could keep paying rent and afford bills, or if they could still live with parents were in their old childhood room with even less independence and space. She seemed a bit tone deaf to be complaining about her situation when it seemed very privileged, living with parents but with a significant amount of her own space for her to be running her business. I just wish she had acknowledged that she's lucky to have parents who own property with extra space for her.
She also does that thing of 'some pieces will fit up to size 14' but it's not actually designed that way, it's just a sack dress so of course when there's more fabric it will fit more people. And she had her mum try on a dress saying she 'fits into' it, I felt like the whole thing was a bit shameful, making the point more obvious even that size 14 would just about fit into her clothes but she doesn't actual cater for them. I don't think women want to be told they might 'fit into' something, they want clothes that make them feel good!

This really bothered me as well, she constantly makes excuses about how it's harder to cut patterns for larger sizes. Sorry but I think if she can't do that yet she isn't ready to have her own brand, why not go and get another job in the industry while continuing to learn.I wish she sewed garments in different sizes than just size 8. I would have thought she'd learnt how to do that at uni.
