To celebrate female ancientsy we’re reclaiming the rude and powerless words used to describe women over a certain age. A range of playful HRT Wear to celebrate our Cronedom and mock the jargon that projects shame and worthlessness on female seniority.

Matron is modelled by the unsuppressably playful Maria. The witty and vivacious joint owner of Lush Designs. Her work and character are packed with quirk. and she runs at life whooping with both arms stretched out. She works like a horse, laughs like a river and weaves her stories of everyday with vaulting colour.  

Maria's self expression punches through the drear of humdrum and soaks you. I think of her as a Le Creuset pot. An indestructible cast iron base, bubbling with deliciousness. 

Hand printed using  flock onto 100%  cotton t shirts. We are happy to hand write messages on V&A gift cards at no extra cost.

We can also print this design onto jumpers, sweatshirts or your own cotton clothes should you wish to refresh or upgrade much loved faves. 

IMPORTANT I print these t shirts to order as I don't want to hold any stock that isn't being used. As it is a bespoke make, I cannot issue refunds or exchanges if sizes are ordered incorrectly. Here is a chest size guide which I'd urge you to check before placing your order so the garment doesn't go to waste. Many thanks.

UK size 10 (small) = 30 inch chest

UK size 12 (medium) = 33 inch chest

UK size 14 (large) = 35 inch chest

UK size 14 (XL) = 37 inch chest

UK size 16 (XXL ) = 39 inch chest

larger and smaller sizes are available on request.

WE CAN PRINT THIS DESIGN ONTO YOUR OWN CLOTHES

Of course you can buy this t shirt as a new garment, but we also offer the option of up-cycling your existing clothing. Just send us items you already own and let us give them a refresh with this design. We can print onto tops, skirts, trousers  jumpers, leggings and scarves providing they are predominantly cotton and the fabric is fairly smooth. 

The price is the same as for a new garment as it covers the cost of special tracked return postage.

So if you have a much loved but bedraggled fave, why not let our Clothing Hospital rejuvenate it and make it splendid again. Please just email [email protected]
