She travelled widely with her Mod designs, visiting 36 cities and arranging fashion and pop shows, and appearing on television in the US and the UK.  

Her customers have included Mick Jagger and Ringo Starr.  She also designed clothes, for Marianne Faithfull and Diana, Princess of Wales, Cilla Black, Barbara, Cherie Blaie, Anne Robinson, annd Lesley Garrett.  The actress Emma Thimpson wore a green-beaded bodice and wide trousers by Caroline Charles, when receiving her Oscar for the 1992 film Howards End.
