Hi Viv, it's Anna! I wanted to get in contact with you to let you know that I had 2 interviews last week for my fashion management course! One at Westminster and the other at LCF where I have applied for two courses. I've just got an offer from Westminster and already have one from Nottingham Trent and would like to say thank you again for letting me do my work experience with you :) I doubt I would've got this far with the universities if I hadn't have had my work experience with you! I would have texted you but I seem to have lost your number somehow. Hope you are all well at Twice a Lady,
love Anna xx
I came in today to look for a dress for a Christmas doo. Ended up with a lovely dress and my darling husband bought me a coat too....in this weather!!!! Our first visit to the shop and to Southwell although I do tend to drag my long suffering hubbie around many dress agency shops all over the Country aaah bless him he is very patient with me. I must say I have never been in one which is so lovely, pretty girly shopping with a beautiful atmosphere and the ladies running it are fabulous, so kind and helpful. We will be back to Southwell and this shop and will be telling all my friends where you are. Heavenly, thanks so much and when I lose my last bit of weight I will be back to try on those magnificent original 50s frocks. Thanks S xxxxxx

You put on a terrific show on Friday so I hope all your hard work behind the scenes pays off; I think everybody enjoyed themselves.
I'm sure it must all have raised quite a lot of money for the cause and given you much satisfaction - and publicity.
Steve - Care Project Fashion Show
Thank you for inviting me to take part; although I was nervous it did me good to get dressed up and be out among different people.
I hope you continue to have great success in your lovely shop - you really should because I think you've got everything right there;
the layout, the content, the window, the ambience, stationery and your personalities.
I hope you've put 'my' skirt on one side - I hope to be able to pop in this week and collect.
Well done and good luck,
Lesley

Hi Viv. JUst had to say what an absolute delight your shop is. You have such a lovely manner, I am sure it will be a huge success. Don't forget that if the 'larger ladies' need anything. I have most things in most colours. See you Thursday when I collect my purchases. Jill x

I love this place. 3 of us found it by chance. We ended up staying almost an hour and I had to go back for more the next day!! What can I say? I am planning my third visit with more people and it's only been a week since I last went. The owner and her daughter were so patient and gave us lemonade and tea as it was such a hot day. My partner and I will hopefully be moving close to Southwell soon and I have to admit to thinking how perfect it would be to be closer to this shop. Cripes!

Hello I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you to yourself and to Joyce for making mine and my Mum's visit on Saturday very special and welcoming. You also made my year by asking me to model in one of your shows! Your boutique is amazing, just like Aladdins cave, and I cant wait for another visit there. Take care and thank you once again.
Ali
I came into the shop today with a few friends from school, looking for Mothers day presents. I have never been in before and i was pleasantly suprised with the wide range of things you sell. You are all lovely people and i felt very welcomed. I know for a fact i will visit again.
Best wishes, Emily Knight x
What a lovely shop, why wern't you open sooner!
Customer
Twice A Lady Boutique is beautiful and the welcome when entering is so professional and so friendly - quite a rarity nowadays! The decor in the shop is amazing and I had to pinch my arm to remind myself the items on display were actually second hand, as everything was presented so perfectly and my purchases were wrapped with loving care and style. I certainly did not feel I had bought second hand items and left the shop knowing I wil be returning again and again. All in all, a delightful and friendly shopping experience. Thank you!

Vivienne you've done so well in such a short space of time, you are truly talented and an example to us all of how hard work and vision can really turn your life around.
Julia Stirland
Wow! Your clothes are absolutly amazing. I love them and they are fantastic. I think your shop is wonderful and your dresses are beautiful:)
Eileen XXXXX:
I felt I was in "Aladins" cave !! Wonderful atmosphere. I took a friend not knowing what to expect and she keeps asking me when we are going back. It was a really nice to look round and it was one of those experiences where you had to keep looking because you saw something different each time. Very tempting to spend a lot but you couldn't because everything was so reasonably priced
Pauline

I absolutely love this concept and Viv has manged to make it her own.. I love the lovely warm atmosphere and the interaction with other ladies at the parties. It's a very pleasant and safe way to meet new people. Viv always makes you feel that you are the only customer and you are always guaranteed a laugh, a good chat when you visit Viv's boutque. I have purchased some gorgeous clothes at very reasonable prices. I love all the wonderful tips that she has on her website and they are always very helpfu. The best part of Viv's Business is Vivienne and I hope that your business goes from strength to strength. Thanks Viv, you're a star.
Kath (Southwell)
Viv makes you feel so welcome, a nice cup of tea and a chat whilst looking for a new outfit, my kind of shopping! It is nice to try clothes on without feeling under pressure. A truthful opinion about how the clothes look is always good too, quality top named clothes at great prices. The tips on the website are fantastic. I can't wait to visit again
Donna
Vivienne makes you feel so at home when you visit her business. A nice hot cup of coffee a few kind words about clothes that she has,that would suit.Everything is done so efficiently. Its a pleasure to do business with her.I wish you all the luck in the world with your new adventure.
Kath (Oxton)
"I have learned a great deal from the way Vivienne manages her business - nothing is ever too much trouble and she has a genuine ability to make one feel really special - she is inspirational and its a joy to visit her boutique and find lovely clothes at very affordable prices."
Caroline
What a fantastic idea! This has to be the most enjoyable way to shop - relaxed & informal. There are clothes & accessories to suit all ages, sizes & styles. Everything is displayed beautifully & you can browse at your leisure. Viv, who has such great style, is always on hand to help & knows just what will suit you. To top it all, you leave with your purchases in a pretty bag. I would most definately recommend a visit & guarantee you'll keep going back! Thanks Viv, see you soon! x
Debs
Viv has a great sense of style and knows what will suit you, the whole evening was relaxed and fun. Everything is beautifully displayed and bargains can be found all around. What an excellent idea, especially for my daughter who loves vintage fashion. Thank you Viv, I will be back soon.
Carole
Thank you so much for such an enjoyable evening; Wine, friends, clothes, handbags & shoes galore. What more could a girl ask for! This is such a great idea. Like most ladies I often only wear an item once or twice & these are usually the clothes I spend the most money on, therefore wearing someone elses clothes once or twice makes sense & makes me feel less guilty. The biggest impact on the evening though was you. The atmosphere was very relaxed & you are so lovely! Thank you, see you soon!
Liz
Thank you for making me feel a new woman. You are great Viv x
Anne
I have just spent the most amazing afternood at Vivs shop.A million miles away from the pushing around the busy shops feet aching only to find you liked the dress in the first shop half a mile away! No i was welcomed like an old friend with a coffee and a nice girly chat, then she showed me the clothes Viv has an amazing sense of whats going to look good on you and what won't and i came away with 5 beautiful dresses and spent far less than i would have done for just 2 bargin
I will be back she stocks my favourate clothes Wallis and many many others bags shoes and accessories
Good luck Viv x
