Sick of not being able to find the clothes you want in the sizes, fabrics and styles that you like? Help is at hand in the form of StyleShake.com, a brilliant website that gives you the chance to design your own dress.
You can customise one of their existing designs or start from scratch, choosing the colour, fabric, length, neckline, sleeves and trimmings.
You then choose a standard size or, for an extra £5, give them your exact measurements and get it made to measure.
Jersey dresses start at £41, 100 per cent silk frocks at £71 and you can also make skirts, from £37, tops from £41 and matching accessories including shrugs, £30, and clutch bags, £30.
Standard delivery (up to ten days) is £7 and they will even do free alterations to ensure that your outfit fits you perfectly.
KNITWEAR

If
your own grandmother is not much cop with a pair of needles, but you
still like the idea of handmade knitwear to your specifications, then at
GranniesInc.co.uk you can pay someone else’s grandma to make you a hat,
scarf, snood or wrist-warmers. You decide on the colours you want it made in, pick the size and any extras — a pompom, bow or some tassels, perhaps — and then a granny gets knitting for you.
The prices start at £34 and all items are made from 100 per cent British spun merino wool.
Delivery times will vary depending on which granny you choose and how busy she is. But expect to have your item within eight days, sent by first-class post for £3.95.
