This collection is a collaboration with Blondies Retro:
Emma has sourced this fabulous, deadstock, fine cotton blend bed linen. It was manufactured in the USA in 1979/1980 and even featured in an episode of Stranger Things!
The dresses are made to order and have pockets and a matching tie belt The Puff Sleeve Dresses are £190 and the Neat Sleeve Dresses are £180 (plus p+p)
They are available in 3x sizes
Please get in touch with Naomi for more info and to be put on the waiting list
A new addition to the NPB collection is the contrast puff sleeve!
If you’re daunted by an all over print then blocking in a plain black bodice is the way to go! The ‘party’ blouses are going down a storm- I have some gorgeous options for sleeves from vintage lurex to striped silver to rainbow ribbon silk chiffon!
The blouses are available in a choice of sizes
£110 Made to order.
There are also options on neckline, long or short sleeves, blouses or frocks- Message me!
For the new season I have taken the Puff Sleeve a step further! I have lengthened it and added a stretch ribbed cuff that can be comfortably pushed up to give a puffier sleeve or worn at the wrist for warmth. The new longer puff sleeve is available for tops as well as frocks with fabric and cuff options
Shown here in Hilma and Bloomsbury fabrics, part of the Modernist Collection, (the ribbed hem is optional)
I’m excited to introduce some new fantastic vintage fabric finds to the collection!
With abstract, painterly prints in rich colours and beautiful textures, they are reminiscent of early-mid 20th Century art works, I am therefore dedicating this new season to the Modernist movement. I have named the fabrics in a tribute to female artists who were trailblazers of their time, I’ve been enjoying researching these incredible women and will be sharing their stories over the coming weeks.

Recently I found myself sheltering from torrential rain in a well known high street store. They had a sale on and I was shocked at the volume of ‘leftover’ clothing and depressed at the thought of where it would all end up. It made me appreciate my lovely customers all the more - those who put in the extra effort to shop small and slow rather than fast and furious.
Rather than grabbing an armful of discounted clothes, they come to my studio to discuss the best garments for them, ones that will give longevity. It’s a more considered purchase. Rather than an impersonal exchange at the till, far removed from the factory where the clothes are made, it’s meeting with the designer, the maker, the source. Or rather than a quick click and buy online, we have a discussion over email - it’s a more personal and rewarding connection.
Here are some wonderful messages from customers who put in that extra effort and will hopefully enjoy their NPB pieces for a long time to come. Happy customers is what it’s about for me- not selling mountains of clothes that won’t be cherished.
Warm tones and fabulous vintage prints for AW19! Also, the new Funnel Neck design can be added to The Original Top, The Neat Top, The Shift Dress, The Belted / Batwing or Party Frocks!
Lots of gorgeous, vintage fabrics available for ready to wear and made to order pieces

I often describe my fabric buying sessions as ‘Treasure Hunting’
It’s increasingly hard to source unused, still on the roll, gorgeous, high quality vintage fabrics, so when I find them, they feel like rare treasures!
Also, by sourcing fabrics already in existence, I am avoiding any harmful manufacturing and reducing waste, which makes them even more precious
Watch this space or follow me on Instagram for new additions to the fabric collection or get in touch with any requests. Swatches can be sent out on request.
There are lots of new additions to the NPB collection this season: The Tie Strap Top + Frock, The A-Line Skirt, The V-Neck Top and The Shorts as well as some new (vintage) prints for you to mix and match.
New stock now ready for the Artists’ Open House weekend, May 11/12, come by and have a look or get in touch for a custom made piece!
Choose a garment, choose a fabric and your NPB item will be made just for you!
