For Just One Day
Levenshulme, Manchester
For Just One Day is a love of costume, dressing up, festivals, circus, vintage and magic!
Handmade in small batches by me, Becky, each item is designed, cut, sewn and sprinkled with magic in my atelier (home studio), based in south Manchester.
My collection is made of items to be loved and worn for childhood adventures, from dress-up to scattering flowers down the aisle. Then, when the time is right, passed on for the next child to treasure and enjoy. Each items colour fade, patched hole, replaced button and fraying edge adding to its charm.
Hello, I’m Becky, and for as long as I can remember I have loved dressing-up. From an early age my mum made dance costumes for me, including a Pearly Queen, a sailor On The Good Ship Lollipop, and even a spider at the Ugly Bug Ball. Since the 90’s festivals have been part of my life and I now have a dress-up collection of hats, sequins, and vintage military attire. Over the past 20 years I have designed womenswear, lingerie, children’s wear, styled spaces at festivals, created events and parties and made costumes for my children.
For Just One Day, created when my girls were younger and named after the beautiful book by Laura Leuck is a playful children’s brand of vintage inspired dress-up. Future heirlooms of timeless co-ordinated items made to be loved and worn for everyday adventures.
