This article made me reflect on how proud I am to be a cockney. Those outfits , whilst admittedly perhaps a little gauche, are incredibly intricately designed and constructed pieces of art. My cousin, a dressmaker who works in film & theatre, would be highly impressed with the standard of their work I’m sure. What skill is on display here. It’s a lovely tradition which I hope they manage to keep going.
