Nia: Where did all of this interest start? Have you inherited it from somewhere?

Julie: My Mother I think, as she used to make a lot of her own clothes. At the start of the 70s, a lot of people used to do their own clothes at that time. She used to do a lot with my brother and myself wearing similar clothes, well, maybe not the dresses but similar colours maybe. There's are a lot of pictures of us that show this, for example, in one picture my brother wears a turquoise top and I wear a turquoise dress. It was quite cute!

Nia: How about when you were older and when you went to school then?

Julie: I don't think I was that bad in school. I went through a phase of not worrying about what I wore, but once I left school, I started again.

Nia: How about when you left school then? How did your taste in clothes develop?

Julie: I left school to follow a beauty therapy college course. I knew that I had to start looking after myself. My husband moved down to Brighton and I tended to go down every other week. He was a chef there and we tended to go out clubbing there rather than here as there weren't many clubs here at the time and that's when I started getting into fashion. The clubscene down that way was fantastic.

Nia: What did you wear then?

Julie: At the time, I tended to make more of an effort as I was travelling such a distance from Wales to Brighton or London so I thought more about what to wear. Kilts and the punk scene was popular at the time so I might have worn a kilt with some fishnets and jackboots, just something a little different maybe.

Nia: Julie's business is just a stone's throw away from her home in Denbigh so she's never that far away from her wardrobes.

Julie: Aron, my husband doesn't really agree with these paintings I've done myself on the wardrobe doors because he has to sleep with five women rather than one!

Julie: There are a few items here that mean quite a lot to me like this, although I hate the look of it!

Nia: It's your wedding dress and you don't like it?!

Julie: No! It's 10 years old, and it's so fussy to look at. Although, I'm so glad that I didn't go for a big, meringue style dress. This ones's straight which I think suits me and suited me at the time as I'm quite tall. There's just too much fuss about the dress.

Julie: This is extremely sentimental because it was Mum's coat.

Nia: This is fantastig, obviously from the 60's. Is the dress an original one from the 60's too?

Julie: No, a friend made it for me and I bought the necklace from a second hand shop.

Julie: This is a dress I wore when I was little and my first shoes! Here are my son, Arthur's first shoes too, they are similar!

Julie: This jacket was a bargain, only £5! People have stopped me in the street asking me where I got this jacket

Nia: Do you tell them how much it cost?

Julie: Oh no, I say Armani of course!

Julie: I like dresses that have quite a lot of colour in them as evening dresses because they'll look good under all the lights

Julie: This skirt is more expensive than all the other evening dresses I own! I think it's lovely and cute. There's not much to it to think how small it is. It looks nice with long boots for these men, I hope so anyway. It's great at the top because it's similar to a corset and pulls my stomach right in!

Julie: These are going to be just lovely to wear, they're extremely comfortable. I've only just bought them. I wore them to visit my Grandmother the other day and she said I looked like her Mother

Julie: Isn't this just fantastic. I went to London last year and there was a sofa exactly the same shape in the hotel which was The Sanderson Hotel. I walked in holding the bag, and the people working there noticed that the bag was the same shape as the sofa and commented, it was hilarious!

Nia: You'll have to have a similar chair!

Julie: Yes! It was only a Kookai bag, so not very expensive. Mad eh.

Nia: The content of your wardrobes are very colourful. Would you say that your clothes reflect your character to some extent maybe?

Julie: I hope they do, yes. A completely mad wardrobe I think.

Nia: And that's how you'd describe yourself?

Julie: Yes!

Nia: And proud of it!

Nia: What are you going to do now that your wardrobes are quite full? Do you have another wardrobe waiting to be filled?

Julie: Another house I think! Dad will have to build another house for me with built-in wardrobes!

Nia: So you're going to carry on buying and buying clothes then?!

Julie: Oh, yes. Not as many as I've bought in the past maybe because Dad always says that I should pay off my mortgage to start. He's a very sensible person unlike me!

Nia: So you're not likely to do that then?

Julie: No!
