Forgot to mention before that Hello Again in Bloem Street, Cape Town, now stocks MGP Couchies and brooches.
They also sell t-shirts with great designs as well as other designer and vintage clothing. Definitely worth a visit.

Yes, believe it! I have seen it with my own eyes. Not only that, I was also instrumental in the actual process. If you are still skeptical, this is how it’s done:
1. Take one t-shirt that used to be kindof sexy when your stomach didn’t bulge out at the bottom, but otherwise is still quite pretty.
2.Scrounge out of a cardboard box one strange skirt that you got at a 2nd-hand shop ages ago and have almost thrown away several times, but somehow knew it would be put to use one day.
3. Unpick top of skirt, cursing every few seconds because the thread just won’t pull out.
4. Put t-shirt on without looking in the mirror.
5. Pull skirt over and roughly pin together in as straight a line as you can manage.
6. Remove pinned garment without pins falling out or impailing themselves in your flesh.
7. Ask someone to draw a straight line with disappearing ink all around the t-shirt while it is still on you.
8. Remove and re-pin.
9. Turn inside out and sew together, pausing to hiss and spit at the sewing machine every few stitches.
10. After an indefinite amount of time, the 2 items will somehow be fused together and you will be so delighted with the result, that you will forget the cursing, spitting and endless repeating of “oh woe! oh woe is me!” and think that you will try it out with another 2 items from the back of your cupboard very soon.
