Let's Hear It For Hilary!

Many Glaswegians will be familiar with the work of dear friend of the Kingdom the lovely Hilary Laing. Her delightful prints appear on dresses, cravats, bangles, ties, scarves and pretty much any textile a print can go on! Cheerful in the extreme, Hilary says of her designs:

"My work is very much a personal response to children and their outlook on life through their use of colour and markmaking techniques.  I want people to enjoy wearing my colourful quirky pieces and the main aim is to make people smile inside."

And smile inside you do! Colourful crayon scribbles on simple-to-wear A-line dresses instantly transport you to happy summer days. If you ever have the pleasure of meeting the cheery Hilary you'll completely 'get' these designs.

I am particularly loving her ties, which would look awesome worn with a plain white t-shirt and some loose black trews, adding a little touch of cheeky colour to a masculine outfit.

Oh, and she is perhaps the only girl alive who can totally rock a pair or pink jeans with red stars.

I am in love! How much do these dresses retail for? Where does she sell them? I have clicked on her website but dont want to email her and ask for prices and then be terribly embarrassed if they are completely out of my price range. So please Queen Michelle - put me out of my misery, whats the price of the dresses? :0)

Are these dresses available for purchase in the U.S?

[Queen Michelle]

Jessica, I suspect so. She makes them to order so I wouldn't imagine she'd object to shipping stateside. For prices and enquiries please email bridget@hilarylaing.com

After falling in love with that purple dress, I inquired at the price and got this response.

Hi there,

Unfortunately there are no stockists in the US at the moment if there was a
particular dress that you had seen then i could ship one across to you.
Dresses start at £140 as all are hand printed.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards

Bridget
