0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Everything must stretch - because dancers move.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- If you use non-stretch fabric, - it will tear.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- There are a lot of very nice - stretch fabrics out there.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- When we spin around, - you see the details.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- These move with us.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Is the fabric - comfortable for dancing?
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Yes, it's really comfortable. - It isn't itchy at all.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- This fits so well, - it feels like I'm naked.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- But I know I'm wearing a costume - and I know I'm ready to dance.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- What projects - do you have in the pipeline?

0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Women who are going to the prom - come to me...
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- ..because they want something - different from what's in the shops.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49- She wanted to use blue fabric.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- She asked for a ruched effect - and a flamenco style.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- I pinned on some frills - for her see how it looked...
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- ..and she said, "Yes! - I want frills, frills, frills!"
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- She wants another dress next month.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- I designed a dress - which was low-cut at the back.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- The client came to see me - and we designed the dress together.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41- Donna recently designed a dress - for Laura Livesey, the Miss Wales.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- The ideas came from Laura.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- I could see what shape - I thought would look nice on her.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- I looked at Laura and I started to - put some designs on paper.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57- I just did a few sketches.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- It was linked to Wales...

0:05:29 > 0:05:33- Yes, that's what I used - to make Hannah's christening gown.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- This woman chooses her outfit...
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- ..according to the mood she's in - that morning.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- She doesn't plan. - She acts upon whim.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- I don't know much about fashion.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- I interpret fashion in my own way.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- It's wonderful to have found - a style which suits you...
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- ..and then sticking with that style.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- I experimented a lot - when I was younger.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- I often went on shopping trips - to London...
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- ..and came home having bought - some eccentric clothes.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- I bought clothes - which were too colourful!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- I've since found my style.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- It may change in the future.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- I remember looking at - my parents' photo albums.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- I saw pictures of my parents - as youngsters in the 1960s.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- I looked at photos of my parents - wearing huge flares...
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- ..and I thought, - "Wow! These clothes are cool."
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- There's a creative element - to buying clothes.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- The cut and the colour - are often beautiful.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- The way you dress - is a very personal thing.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- Walking in to your bedroom - is like entering an art gallery.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- There are clothes hanging up, - which include countless dresses.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- I can also see - lots of colourful prints.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24- It's a feast for the eyes.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Tell me about that dress.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- It's a dress you'd wear - for a special occasion.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- I was invited to - a black tie evening.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38- I'd never been to a black tie event, - so I didn't know what to wear.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- I went shopping with Mam - in Cardiff...
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- ..and we found this dress - in the first shop we entered.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56- I thought, "Great! This will do.", - since I dislike shopping for hours.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- Some of the other dresses - are less formal, everyday garments.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Do you have a favourite?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- I have several favourites.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- It depends on how I feel - on a particular day.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- One day, - I may like a certain pattern.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19- It depends on my mood.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- I go by my gut instinct - when I choose clothes.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- I look at the shapes and colours - rather than what's fashionable.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- In what mood would you have to be - to wear this dress?
0:08:32 > 0:08:37- It's quite playful, so I'd need to - feel in a positive frame of mind.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- It makes me laugh. - It's over the top!
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- Tell me about the clothes you wear - to present Y Sioe Gelf.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Image is an integral part - of my work as a presenter.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- I've learnt not to wear clothes...
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- ..which attract - too much attention to myself.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- The art and the contributors - are the important things, not me.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- I'm more scruffy when I'm writing - at home in my study.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- I'll dress informally - because no-one sees me there.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- But I always wear shoes, - rather than slippers!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- I don't stay in my pyjamas either!
0:09:19 > 0:09:24- My grandfather was a writer and - he never wore slippers in his study.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- It changes your mindset - if you wear slippers to work.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- I wear proper shoes - when I sit at my desk!
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- I bought that when I was on holiday - in San Francisco last year.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- I then went to LA to visit - Ceiri Torjussen, my cousin.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- He writes music for films.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00- He took me to the premiere of a film - for which he'd written the score.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- I wore this dress - to that film premiere.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04- It was a fun night!
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- Let's leave San Francisco - and head back to Caernarfon!
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Do you shop locally?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Do you shop locally?- - Yes, I go to second-hand shops.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- There's a shop around the corner - which is a real Aladdin's cave.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- I have a rummage in the attic - and I've found some unusual things.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Some second-hand shops - are far too formal.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- You have a section for this colour - and a section for that colour.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39- Things are laid out so clearly, - they're like high street shops.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Where are your second-hand clothes?
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- The T-shirt with the sequins - and the shoulder pads...
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- ..dates back to the 1980s.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- I rarely wear it!
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Clothes can be ironic.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56- Tell me about this wool.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- I knitted a bit when I was younger.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- My maternal grandmother - taught me to knit.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- I decided to relearn last year - because I'd forgotten how to do it.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- I knitted this last year.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- It was a joint effort! - I knitted it with my friends.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- I took it out to cafes - and I carried it around with me.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24- I enjoyed that.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29- I taught my friends to knit - and that's why it's full of holes!
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Lots of people had a go at knitting!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- This design must be totally unique.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Che Guevara, Bob Marley - and Salvador Dali!
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Where did you get this top?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Where did you get this top?- - I found the fabric when I was 17.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- It was in a shop in Bangor.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50- I loved it and I asked my granny - to turn it into a top for me.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56- This fabric isn't meant for clothes - but she made the top regardless!
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Fair play to her.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- I've worn this many times.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- I thought I was something special - in this top!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- I wouldn't wear it now.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I keep it because - my granny made it for me.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- It has sentimental value.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- When I was younger, - I hardly wore dresses.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- I'd wear a dress to a wedding, - to a party or on a big occasion.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- Now I wear dresses all the time, - especially in the summer.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- I like the cut of a dress - and the way it fits my body.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- I think the biggest factor - is I'm getting older!
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- I'm adapting to compensate for that.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- I like halter necks and - dresses which go out at the waist.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- I'm especially fond of - vintage dresses.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- They're often unique - and they're made of special fabrics.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- They're often handmade, - and that's wonderful.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12- I like feeling I'm the only one - who owns a particular design.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- I'm intrigued - by the history of the clothes.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20- I'm fascinated by the fact the - dresses were worn before I was born.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- You're giving them a second life.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Yes, I'm resurrecting them!
0:13:26 > 0:13:31- I bought a coat from a vintage shop - and I found a game in the pocket.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- It was made of matches.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- I didn't realise - it was a game at first.
0:13:40 > 0:13:46- How important are clothes, fabrics, - style and image in your life?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- I enjoy everything about clothes.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Clothes are fun and to be enjoyed.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- But we live in - a terribly material world...
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- ..where image - is given far too much prominence.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- Clothes shouldn't be high - on anyone's list of priorities!
0:14:07 > 0:14:08- .
0:14:13 > 0:14:13- 888
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- 888- - 888
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- We're the fourth generation - of our family to farm this land.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- I'd happily walk around here naked - in this weather.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- It doesn't bother me.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39- Style probably isn't important - when you're up here.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44- I just want to be comfortable and - dress for the weather conditions.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- I work full-time on the farm - with my father and my brother.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- I'm not with the Young Farmers - any more. I'm too old!
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- I play rugby in Machynlleth.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- I try to keep my place - in the first team but it isn't easy.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- What about your social life?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Yes, I have a social life. - Maybe too much at times!
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- I go out in Machynlleth - and Aberystwyth.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- I go to the Royal Welsh, - Sesiwn Fawr, and any other event.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- These are my work clothes.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- They're my old - Saturday night clothes.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- When my Saturday night clothes - get too scruffy...
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- ..I wear them for work.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- I'm not keen on shopping.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- I don't see the point - of buying expensive clothes...
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- ..because I get bored with them.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50- They either shrink or people tell me - they're unfashionable.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- I'm proud of what I do...
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- ..but I don't want to look like - a stereotypical farmer either.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- There's a world of fashion - out there...
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- ..and I'd like to be in the groove.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Are you looking forward - to this makeover?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Yes, I'm excited about it.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- I want to see - what she's got to offer.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- I'm talking about clothes, - of course!
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- I'm curious to see - what she does with me.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- It can be a struggle - to persuade me to try something new.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- She can be quite a stern lady, - can't she?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- NIA GIGGLES
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- The 'stern lady' is called Eleanor.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40- She's armed shopping bags. - So what does she have up her sleeve?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Let's start with these shirts.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51- They're nice, aren't they?
0:16:51 > 0:16:52- They're nice, aren't they?- - No, they're not nice!
0:16:52 > 0:16:52- They're nice, aren't they?
0:16:52 > 0:16:53- Do you like this shirt?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Do you like this shirt?- - Yes, especially in the summer.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- I prefer to wear - short-sleeved shirts.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- You have muscular arms.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- Yes, they're fine by me.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Unfortunately, this shirt is dated.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- The print - went out of fashion rapidly.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- This isn't - a good quality fabric either...
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- ..so it will deteriorate quickly.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- I also think - this is a bit too boyish for you.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- It's time to move on and - adopt a more sophisticated image.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- I can't say 'sophisticated', - let alone be it!
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- I'm not keen on that. It's too pink.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Pink has been a fashionable colour - for men for centuries.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- You're someone who can wear colour.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- I detest things like this!
0:17:49 > 0:17:54- It actually makes me feel sick - when I see things like this!
0:17:57 > 0:17:58- It looks cheap.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- I think it's sexier - when men wear long-sleeved shirts.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16- This shirt is great.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- This shirt is great.- - Rolled up?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- This stripe is a classic design.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- It will never date.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- I've never worn that shirt.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- I think it looks sexier on a man.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31- I can do sexy!
0:18:31 > 0:18:32- I can do sexy!- - Good!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- I bought this suit in 2001...
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- ..when I was chairman - of the Young Farmers.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- I think you were a bit smaller - in 2001!
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- I've worn it to funerals - and I'm sick of wearing it.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55- That's a good thing.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- The cut doesn't suit - your body shape.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00- It does nothing for you.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- A more traditional suit - would be better.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50- You can also wear subdued colours - such as this cream jumper.
0:20:52 > 0:20:58- You should pair that with a simple, - blue shirt and a pair of jeans.
