For the photoshoot theme for October’s Eastbourne event, I had chosen ‘Cops and Robbers’, partly because it allowed people to dress as conservatively or as sexy as they would like, but mostly because I wanted to see how I would look in a police uniform, without having to actually join the police.
Despite it being as simple as buying an outfit on Amazon with next-day delivery and calling it did, I went all out with it, making everything from a mock stab vest to the epaulettes. It took a lot of time and work and probably cost more too, but I learnt a lot about how to use my sewing machine, had a lot of fun and was very pleased with how it turned out.
