FLO-JO BOUTIQUE - HEN PARTY FUN WITH A CREATIVE TWIST!

Why not book the perfect Hen Party where you’ll learn how to make a pair of knickers and a garter for the bride?  If there’s material left over, you can make bunting and add all the buttons, bows and vintage embellishments you like. Designing, sewing  and making all things vintage-inspired since 2004, owners Delia and Erika of Flo-Jo Boutique on Gloucester Road host brilliantly fun knicker-making and sewing parties. They search high and low for their retro-inspired prints and find inspiration in vintage lace and silks, which they ‘upcycle’. 

At Flo-Jo you'll find collections of handmade undies, knicker-making kits and frilly pines for sale.  They also run a haberdashery with carefully sourced fabrics, but the other half of the shop is a fabulous retro style 50's kitchen-inspired workshop space, filled with sewing machines.  This is where the fun happens with regular workshops on embellishing, quilting, patchwork and dressmaking, alongside high tea, cake and a glass of champagne.  Hens have a great time bonding over their making experience and it's something that mums will enjoy too. Flo-Jo cater for all ages and sewing experience, from total novices to fashion designers. 

The knicker-making workshops are a very popular hen party choice. Over 3 hours you'll make a pair of knickers and contribute to the making of a garter for the bride-to-be using a selection of new and vintage lace and trims, retro-style prints, buttons and bows.

Take a look at their website to find out exactly what they offer - from Hen parties, through Baby Showers to complete beginner's sewing workshops - there's so much to do!

Every garment is a work of art, with her passion for her work and her desire to make it your 'dream' dress ensuring you will feel like the proverbial princess on your wedding day. But don't take my word for it, check out the testimonies from her happy brides.

Lisa's design service offers everything from hand made gowns, corsets and co-ordinating skirt, Mother of the Bride outfits, shrugs, wraps & boleros, flattering neck corsets and lace jewellery and even wedding shoe customisation and embellishment, as well as alterations.

Excitingly, Lisa is about to launch her collection of lingerie garments, Lisa Keating Undercover, and also offers a Victorian corset workshop - where you will design, cut and make a fully fitted, boned, lined and back-laced corset in the material of your choice!
