As soon as Beck was old enough to reach the pedal of the sewing machine, she began making Barbie clothes. Inspired by watching her mum sew everything from tracksuit pants to doona covers Beck wanted to create all kinds of special items out of fabric and trims. At High School in a Textiles class she clashed heads with the teacher who told her she was doing everything wrong. Ignoring the teachers instruction to leave a 2.5cm gap between the seam and the overlocking, saw Beck throw away patterns and bend the rules. Patterns are few and far between with Rose Josephine garments, instead using basic designs that are easy to wash and wear.
Discovering a gap in the market for original handmade Christening Gowns, Beck snapped into action and began creating heirloom gowns from beautiful silk and divine lace sourced from all over the world. Christening Gowns have become her passion and each and every one is unique and made to fit the wearer. Working from home with a 2 ½ year old and a 7 month old provides challenges but sewing has become an escape as has searching high and low for new fabrics to set the Rose Josephine label apart.
From cheap and cheery bloomers to high end exquisite gowns, Rose Josephine looks to have something for everyone! Head to the Rose Josephine store and Facebook page for more information.
