And With Spring Comes The Wedding Season - Custom Made Dinner Shirts In Sydney

In September the wedding season begins again and whilst we recommend a turn down collar for most black tie wedding events there are times, eg: white tie, when you need a wing tip collar. One of the better shirts we offer, although it's not cheap to do, is to make marcella bib dinner shirt with a detachable collar in both turn down and wing tip. This means you get the best of both worlds with one shirt! Too clever. So, if you want something like the one we finished this week for a very prestigious label in Sydney's east, then look no further than Studio Shirts where we can custom make your desired shirt down to the finest detail.

Did you know the derivation of the word gingham?

The name originates from the Malay adjective, genggang, meaning striped. Some sources say that the name came into English via Dutch. When originally imported into Europe in the 17th century it was a striped fabric, though now it is distinguished by its checkered pattern. From the mid 18th century, when it was being produced in the mills of Manchester, England, it started to be woven into checked or plaid patterns (often blue and white). Checked gingham became more common over time, though striped gingham was still available in the late Victorian period.
