For Just One Day

For Just One Day Vintage inspired children's dress-up & partyware for everyday adventures The garments are timeless, made to last, and designed to be loved for decades to come.

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

Hello, I'm Becky, the owner, designer & stylist of For just ONE day. I have spent years designing kidswear for the British high-street, being obsessed by kids products, going to festivals, designing spaces at festivals, and throwing amazing parties for my children. I have two girls who spend most of their time singing, dancing, dressing up in my clothes or hanging upside

down on a trapeze! Here is a little bit about what we do ...
Children's Hand made dress up and Accessories
Co-ordinated party supplies
Prop rentals
Event and party styling

For Just One Day's lovingly handmade and imaginative children’s play clothes are inspired by theatre, vintage aerialist costumes or eccentric explorers from the past. They capture the spirit, innocence and freedom of childhood and obscure the line between clothing and costume whilst encouraging children to play and wear pieces with creative expression. As they fade and fray with age they become more beautiful and it adds to their charm. Our garments are designed with a refreshing point of difference to the high-street and they offer real value that doesn’t compromise on quality. All garments are handmade by me in our atelier. Our sizes range from age 3 to 12. At age 3 we believe that children start to develop a sense of who they are and learn to express themselves through imaginative play. We like to encourage this for as long as possible. As well as an imaginative range of play clothes, For Just One Day sells beautifully designed and coordinated children’s partyware such as plates, cups, cutlery, party bags, fillers, decorations, cards & presents. We sell our own branded For just one day products and also independent brands that we love and find inspiring. At For Just One Day we believe that kids parties should be so much more than some balloons and a couple of sandwiches. We create imaginative spaces that transport a child's imagination to a magical forest, a galactic dimension, or a tea party on a unicorn cloud. If you can think of it we can create it. We can plan, we can design, we can make, and we can style any party for your little, or big ones. We do big parties, little parties, tight budgets and extravagant blowouts. We can supply props, invitations, party favours, bags, decorations, and dress up to go with your style . . . we do it all. We get imaginative, we get creative, we get excited.

Our gorgeous copper-hued feather and leather headdress grows with you. It fit's all head sizes and is perfect for everyday adventures, from imaginative play to walking down the aisle ✨ with a few festivals thrown in-between.

Imagine if you keep it that long and it becomes the something old. Now that would be lovely.

Here is a review from one of our customers .. I think she did wear it for a wedding.

My atelier can be found in the front upstairs room at my house in Manchester. It’s south facing so the light is really lovely and great for taking photos.

Most of my studio furniture is vintage and I save Charbonnel et Walker truffle boxes (my favourites) to keep my buttons, trims & needles.
When the room is tidy which is not very often, everything has its place.

The most beautiful hazy blue skies, that go on forever, are above us in South Manchester today 🥰

We have no plans. Mr B is saving lives, I have covid so my brain is the only cloud around today, Daughter No.2 is revising for her 50,000th exam on Monday whilst also desperately trying to figure out how she can go and watch The Weekend later. If anyone has spare tickets please do let me know.

What are your plans?
… Enjoy lovelies xx

I watched the final episode of Ted Lasso last night … Have you watched the series?

If you haven’t, I would highly recommend that you do.
A lot of TV is a bit too serious atm, it doesn’t hold my attention & I fall asleep.

This is was the opposite, it’s warm and kind and funny and I loved every bit of it.
The characters are all brilliant
but my favourite is the sweary growly Roy Kent and of course the aspiring Rebecca .. power dressing is definitely not my forte but I’ll give it a try 🥰

The mantra. BELIEVE … f**k yeah

I like the word BELIEVE but you can have whatever you want ✨
