About the Author:
Hilary Peach's first work was in a highly reputable fashion department where expensive gowns were sent to the alteration work room, to be adjusted to customer requirements. This gave her the insight to see how the sewing workshops operated and encouraged her to obtain qualifications in both subjects. Subsequently, she began formal training, City & Guilds, at a fashion college, which included a further education teacher's certificate. On completion Hilary taught crafts, dressmaking and millinery for 30 years in a part-time capacity, alongside taking on private commissions for fashion and millinery. Her work has been seen at Buckingham Palace, New York Sailing Club, Claridge's and many society weddings.
