Some happy Chemo Headwear clients
- Turban has now arrived. It had been left with a neighbour but Royal Mail hadn’t left a card.
It’s beautiful and I ‘m very pleased with it.
Many thanks
Linda - It was wonderful to meet you! I LOVE my scarves!!!!! You are awesome!!!! Feel free to remind me tomorrow to pay. I would be grateful to be able to make things right. Again, you ROCK!!!
Mary Kay - Very many thanks for the lovely turbans and headscarf – they have given me great confidence. I shall be recommending you to others.
Jenny - I have worn my brown cashmere headwear everyday as it’s so comfortable and have to wash it overnight ready for the next day. I have been bought other headwear as presents but it doesn’t fit and is not anywhere near the quality of your headwear.
Vicky - The pashmina turbans you made for me are a godsend – constantly worn and always favourably commented on.
Robin - Just to say I am delighted with both items and have started wearing them (not at the same time!). Thank you for your kind words also.
Julia - Thank you very much for making the chemo headwear for me so quickly. They fit really well and I love the fabrics. I love Liberty fabrics.The brown cashmere does make my eyes shine really blue which is good. I cannot thank you enough for doing this for me so quickly and I feel less scared going ahead this week with the chemo as I know I have them ready. I have no doubt I will be ordering more.
Vicky Dennis - Just to say I am delighted with both items and have started wearing them (not at the same time!). Thank you for your kind words also.
Julia - Many thanks for your helpful discussions and excellent service.
Mary White - That’s so lovely of you. I really really appreciate it. It’s our 40th wedding anniversary. Since I’ve had my diagnosis I have been overwhelmed by people’s kindness and consideration, you have added another layer today
Marilyn - Many thanks for all your help and we will certainly be in touch to come to you if she wants or needs more, you have been so lovely.
Isobel - I wore my Rose hat at the weekend and got lots of compliments and it was incredibly comfortable. I really appreciate your patience and kindness.
Ann - The “turbans” arrived this morning. Thank you so much they are lovely. Thank heaven you have the wit & imagination to devise this headgear which is a godsend for us who have to face the horrors of hair loss!
Robin - So lovely to meet you & see your wonderful array of hats. Very exciting for me to find hats I really want to wear.
Baz - Oh Claire, thank you ever so much. I am having afternoon tea with a good mate and she commented how lovely my hat is!! Thanks to you, I don’t feel so conscious of my baldness.
Liz Milligan - I am so happy to have headwear I feel fab in. It’s a hard time to get through anyway and there are so many depressing websites with sad faded pictures selling twee, scratchy and dated looking chemo head scarfs etc. So I am just so happy I crossed your website. Everything you have made I feel special wearing, the fabrics are soft and the patterns are really different and stylish and the double sided turban and snood, I think I will probably live in!
Caroline - It was lovely to meet you today. Thanks so much for your help and advice. I feel well prepared for the hair loss that’s rapidly coming!
Many thanks again Claire. I really enjoyed meeting you and doing something positive about my hair loss!
Barbara Davies - Without Claire’s fabulous creations, I honestly do not know what I would have done during my chemo days. I had looked everywhere on the web to find this kind of thing and it is just was not there, so it was a fantastic relief to have found her.
Lucy O’Donnell - Thank you so much for meeting with me yesterday. I was very impressed at the quantity of samples you had – it was really useful to be able to “play dress up” and compare and contrast.
However what I am most grateful for is your kindness and your gentle approach in explain things to me, being flexible and understanding that this is another decision/choice in what seems to be an endless list of decisions/choices to be made in this unexpected path I find myself on.
Amanda Wright - That was a great meeting. I am feeling delighted. Thank You for guiding me through your amazing range of fabrics and styles. So exciting!
- The hats assorted are so wonderful. I am wearing between 3 and 4 every day!!!! The hair loss has been so breathtakingly fast I can not imagine how I would have managed. Far too hot for wigs and my head feels sore sometimes. I am sleeping in bamboo — so comfortable and living in silk— perfect in this heat. I am so delighted and very appreciative of the speed of the delivery. All the fabrics you selected (rather than my initial ones) are the ones I love!!!! Aegean blue bamboo for instance!!! You really are so talented
Sue Hurst - My mum is so happy with the first hat, she absolutely wants a second one. Will get back to you soon!
Michèle Perl - I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2012. Luckily it was caught early but I had to undergo chemo and radiotherapy. Never being very clever at tying scarves I heard that Claire had made some clever designs using beautiful fabrics that were cleverly cut and had elastic for added security. I had 3 scarves made – a cotton liberty print ‘bonnet’ style cap with ties which I virtually wore every day, a white scarf for summer days and a gorgeous silk scarf for glam occasions. Losing your hair is one of the worst and most dramatic results of enduring chemotherapy and can make you feel as though you have lost your femininity. Wearing Claire’s beautiful scarves gave some of that back!
Claire Godman-Dorington - Claire made me some beautiful scarf style hats that I wore constantly when I lost my hair during chemotherapy treatment. She was extremely sensitive and kind when visiting me at home which I really appreciated as it was a difficult time. I was able to try different styles and options that would suit me best. Claire had a large range of beautiful soft silks and cottons and they fitted perfectly. I found the scarves very easy to wear and was able to change colours and styles depending on my mood and what I was wearing. Even though I had previously bought a number of hats, scarves and a wig from a well know London store I much preferred the soft feel and elegant design of Claire’s hats.
Lucy Sanders - I decided to start with two different designs in different types of fabric. I lost my hair fairly quickly after that and started wearing the scarves straight away. One very quickly became my favourite and I wore it all the time. I then had a further three made and then another two as the warmer weather came – so that I had a scarf for every occasion! Claire came to my house with a mass of different fabrics. We would stand in front of the mirror putting each fabric up against my face until we decided on the suitable ones. She was endlessly patient as I was incredibly indecisive and we always had a laugh. The scarves were fantastic. They made me feel completely at ease and gave me the confidence to go out during the day and in the evenings and most importantly were just so easy to put on. My family liked them and it was a huge relief for my girls that I turn up at school looking vaguely glamorous!!! Claire always went the extra mile to make sure I had the right fabric and made the scarves really quickly so I was never without. She was extremely empathetic and put me completely at ease.
Sarah Gardner - Thank you so much for making the beautiful bandanas. I have tried them all on, each one felt so light, cool and comfy. I tend to only wear my wig when I go out, if I don’t feel too good I wear a scarf out and always at home. I am looking forward to wearing one of my new bandanas tomorrow.
Lesley Jawad - I have worn my bandanas very day, everyone has commented on how lovely they are. My hair is about an inch long now, I don’t feel confident just yet to go out without my bandana on.
Lucinda Jones - I would just like to thank you very much for sending me the bespoke head scarf, it’s lovely and has kept me very cool in this recent heatwave we have had!
Julia Turner - Thanks so much for the latest hats, they’ve been much admired
Lydia Wright - Thank you for sending the lovely turbans, all very well fitting! I shall wear one of them – the silk at a wedding on Saturday.
Lady Valerie Solti - Love, love, love my turbans – they are all beautiful & I will be ordering more Liberty print headscarves shortly.
Caroline Baker - It has been a very positive experience visiting you at home with most of my wife’s wardrobe in tow; we both now feel confident that she has a hat or headscarf to match everything and see her through her treatment in style
Mr Clark - Thanks for getting the scarves & hats to me in time for Christmas. I love the charcoal silk scarf and will wear it on New Year’s Eve. Any tips on how best to style it?
