Scouse Boutique
styles revealed
SINCE 'Desperate
Scousewives’ has aired stars of the show Amanda Harrington, Debbie
and Gill O’Toole have been asked by so many fans where they get
their fabulous dresses from. It was one of the reasons why they have
launched Scouse Boutique, so that everyone can join in the fashion
fun, Scouse-style! The designs have been part of a collaboration
with cool Liverpool couturier, KU by Spendlove, whose custom dresses
are adored by celebs, models and actresses all over the UK – and, of
course, our uber-stylish Scousewives!
With this in mind, the girls have
been involved in the design of their very own capsule collection and
it is glamtastic! The girls cause a sensation in the press every
time they step out in a KU by Spendlove piece, and decided it was
high time that other glamgals have a chance to wear their own piece
of fashion heaven! The dresses are designed for every girl who wants
her own perfect Princess moment, and for those occasions when a girl
wants to feel red carpet ready. Coolly sculptured and totally
body-con, every piece is tailored to stay in place while you look
good on the dance floor.
This fabulous collection has
something for every delicious diva including:
· Chiffon halterneck with gold sequinned skirted dress – the
ultimate princess statement!
· Gold sequinned fitted and frill mini dress – sexy, stylish and
seductive!
· Sequinned halter playsuit – the ultimate girly fashion piece!
· One shoulder fitted sequin dress – the hourglass cocktail
knockout!
· Strapless sequinned cuffed jumpsuit – for the veritable
fashionista!
Amanda, Debbie and Gill have
overseen every part of the design process along with KU by Spendlove,
as it is very important to them that their loyal fans and new
customers have the chance to buy Scouse Boutique dresses of the
highest quality. Priced between £200-£300, each piece has been made
to exacting standards, and offers a chance to own a couture inspired
piece at an affordable price.
Amanda says:- "I have always
loved modelling but having the chance to wear something with our
label’s name on it makes me so proud. I can’t wait to see our
customers wearing their Scouse Boutique dresses."
Debbie says:- "It has always
been my dream to design my own fashion collection and Scouse
Boutique has given me that opportunity. I hope everyone gets the
chance to enjoy the dresses that have become such an important part
of the Scouse Boutique collection."
Gill says:- "The Scouse
Boutique dresses are designed with every girl in mind. There are
several style options to choose from at great price points. You
don’t have to be a model to wear a Scouse Boutique dress, but we
think you will feel like one when you make your big entrance wearing
one!"
The girls are suitably proud of
this first collection and they know that their Scouse Boutique
customers are going to love it! Prepare to be
dazzled.................... |

Awards and
accolades continue for Southport Hotel & Restaurant
THE Vincent Hotel,
Southport has been awarded a Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence

honours standards of excellence in the hospitality industry and is
