“I think I bought my first clothes from you in London in the early 90s. I know I’ve gone up a size from 4 to 5 since then but thankfully there is still some growing room! Today I put a Sixteen47 item out for the charity shop for the first time ever…a pair of pale blue trousers. Looking at my wardrobe it is easily 85% sixteen47 although not all as it came, tops have become jackets, occasionally trousers have become skirts, when I get bored I mess with stuff but this is the first giveaway! ( I’ll never be a size 4 again)!”

Those Sixteen47 customers who have investigated the http://www.Sixteen47.com site will have discovered already how Helen Teague and Dawn French met and how Dawn decided to go into business with Helen (https://sixteen47.com/newsarticles/111-how-we-met-dawn-french-and-helen-teague-anthi-charalambous-sunday-independent).
