\Welcome to another episode of Desert Island Dress with your hosts, Dee Duffy and Katriona Flynn, where we uncover the memories and stories behind the clothes we wear. 

Today, we have a very special guest, Laura deBarra, the brilliant mind behind the bestselling books Gaff Goddess and Garment Goddess. Laura is not just a style icon but a champion of resourcefulness, combining her love of fashion with her incredible DIY skills. From mending treasured garments to breathing new life into household items, Laura has a uniquely practical relationship with clothes and fabrics. 

In this episode, Laura shares how hands-on skills, from sewing to mending and upcycling, have shaped her wardrobe and life. And how her approach to clothing is about more than just style—it’s about sustainability, creativity, and emotional connection.  

Join us, as we head down memory lane with Gaff Goddess, Garment Godess, that is Laura de Barra, through the medium of clothes and the stories they tell.
