Welcome to Miss Charlottes children's wear

Hi my name is Gail.


I love to create beautiful stylish garments for children.




A love for fabric, colours and patterns attracts me - and from there the ideas flow - enabling a beautiful fabric to be enhanced by handwork - (including smocking, embroidery and fine machine work).


All of my garments are my own design - with continual ideas and not enough time to create!!


I also make beautiful heirlooms - with individually designed and created christening gowns for boys and girls which can be passed down through family generations. Custom designs are welcome!

Please feel free to contact me for a garment design consultation.
