I live in Greece, adore those clothes, have no idea where to find em. any ideas?
shareI don't know if you make clothes yourself, but if you do I would advise you to have a look on eBay for vintage patterns of that period. What Carrington dressed in was a mix of women's and men's clothes. Most of her dresses are very basic patterns and will be easy to make.
shareTry a vintage shop. '20s fashion is very trendy in today's styles, so keep a lookout for similar pieces and put some outfits together. Have fun!

Hello there
If you make your own clothes you can buy fabric based on original Bloomsbury designs from Charleston Farmhouse the former home of Vanessa and Clive Bell and Duncan Grant. Their website is:
www.charleston.org.uk
The house has been lovingly restored and preserved and is an absolute 'must visit' for anyone interested in the group and associated artists such as Carrington. As well as textiles their shops sells books, Videos / DVDs / CDs, prints, jewellery, ceramics and stationery and all can be bought online.
I hope you find something you like
Love
Mim
thank you all very much!

Finding them, tough these days. Vintage clothing is available but locating earlier pieces declines as time moves forward. If you sew or have a credible seamstress you should try
