The Queen’s dressmaker is making scrubs for NHS workers

Stewart Parvin, the Queen’s royal dressmaker, has made the switch to designing scrubs for healthcare workers amid the spread of coronavirus in the UK.

Parvin, who has worked with the royals for years, says he is happy to offer his support for the people on the frontline. “[I’m] very happy to offer what little help we can to our fabulous NHS,” he told The Sunday Times. 

Sharing on Twitter earlier this month, the designer dropped off their first set of scrubs at Frimley Park Hospital, where many staff have been moved to during the outbreak.

“Our main reason for needing more scrubs is that we have repositioned a lot of our staff to different areas of the hospitals, so to have the extra stock is terrific,” said a Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust representative.

  

The British designer has been making garments for the Queen for over a decade and in 2016 was presented with the Royal Victorian Order from the Queen while she donned a purple day dress designed by him.

His other iconic looks include the Queen’s dress for Harry and Meghan’s wedding and Zara Tindall’s ivory silk bridal gown for her 2011 wedding.
