0:02:57 > 0:03:00- He hadn't made one for years...
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- ..but he found the cuttings - and it was completely authentic.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06- I still have that cape.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26- It was bundled together - with a lot of other stuff...
0:06:26 > 0:06:31- ..and a bottle of shampoo spilt - over it and it stank of shampoo!
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- People must have smelt you and - thought you were a very clean man.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- You can visit any cold country - and be suitably dressed.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- I wear it like this.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Very smart.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56- I also need this.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- The hat completes the look.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- In order to keep my feet warm, - I wear long scarves!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- You wrap a scarf around your ankles!
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- You weren't exaggerating - about their length!
0:07:22 > 0:07:23- They keep your feet warm!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- They weigh you down, don't they?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Scarves of all colours.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Your mother and your granny - must have been prolific knitters!
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- I think this is the longest scarf.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- How do you give it a touch of drama?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Like that?
0:07:49 > 0:07:49- Like that?- - Yes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Like that?- - Yes.- - As you arrive at a concert hall.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- To what degree do your clothes - reflect your personality?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- They must do that, - to a certain extent.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- I'm egotistical enough...
0:08:20 > 0:08:26- ..to say there's - a touch of the flamboyant about me.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- That manifests itself - in the way I conduct.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Some people can conduct neatly...
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- ..but I like the sweeping stroke.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- It's like the difference - between an icon and a mural.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- I think I lean towards the mural, - rather than the icon.
0:09:15 > 0:09:15- 888
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- 888
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Hiya! How are you?

0:11:04 > 0:11:08- Does it make you feel good, - to dress in a feminine way?

0:15:54 > 0:15:59- I'm at that age where I feel free - to spend my wages on clothes.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- There are memories - tied up in my clothes, too.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- I'll never get rid of them.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- I'll never get rid of them.- - Never?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- I've loved dressing up, - ever since I was a child.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- I now love to see others dress up, - with me.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09- The clothes chest...
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- ..is given pride of place at Carys - Hedd's new home, in Cnwch Coch.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- I couldn't wait to try on - some of the clothes.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24- My interest in clothes was sparked - when I was around 14 years old.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Mam made our clothes, - when I was young.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- I'd taught myself to sew - by the time I was 14.
0:17:30 > 0:17:36- My sister and I started going to - jumble sales on Saturday afternoons.
0:17:37 > 0:17:43- You could spend a pound and buy a - new wardrobe and have tea and a bun!
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- We'd come home, - laden with new treasures.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- They were always too big - or too long, so we'd alter them.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- We'd cut them up - and sew them back together again...
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- ..in a completely different form.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- We created unique garments.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Your clothes collection - must be dear to you.
0:18:05 > 0:18:11- Yes, it's an eclectic collection - which has grown, over the years.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- It reflects - different periods of my life...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- ..and my life experiences.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Are clothes a fun thing, for you?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Yes, most definitely.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- The more colourful, the better.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- The world - is full of fantastic clothes...
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- ..but people - don't make the most of them.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- We should express ourselves - through our clothes.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- How would you describe your style?
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- At the moment, I enjoy - wearing skirts, worn in layers.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- I'm fascinated by French dances - - waltzes, bourrees and mazurkas.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08- Wearing long dresses and skirts - is wonderful, when I'm dancing.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- It's great - to have movement in the clothes.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- I also get very hot - when I'm dancing...
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- ..so it's handy - to be able to take them off!
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Drumming is important to me.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- Maybe I'll end up with a fusion - of South American clothes...
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- ..and European clothes - from the romantic era.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- The dressing-up chest.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- You have parties and everyone - chooses an outfit, from here?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- I usually have a clothes rail.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- I open up the chest - and take out some outfits.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- People are free to choose - something that suits them.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- These have caught my eye.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- These have caught my eye.- - I saw these and they took my fancy.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06- I'm quite short...
0:20:06 > 0:20:12- ..so I thought gold, funkadelic - platforms would be fantastic.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- I've got to try them.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- There is no way in the world - you'd be able to dance in these.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- No, not for long, anyway.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- It's like wearing stilts!
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Come and stand next to me.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- I'm short, as it is!
0:20:31 > 0:20:32- They're great.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- I made this - for a Moulin Rouge party.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- I wanted to go as a green fairy.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- I bought the corset and I stitched - strips of tulle on the back.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- It's a fun thing.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- I had a pair of wings, too.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- I feel like some sort of fairy - in these clothes.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Yes, it's gorgeous, isn't it?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- I think it's the underskirt.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Do you believe in fairies?
0:21:37 > 0:21:38- Do you believe in fairies?- - Yes, of course I do.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- I knew you were going to say that.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- These dresses are fabulous. - I feel like a film star.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- You'd never believe I found this - in a muddy field in Glastonbury!
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- This is my favourite party dress.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- It's 100% Crimplene!
0:22:15 > 0:22:16- Be proud!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Be proud!- - They don't make them like this - any more.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26- Acres of material.
