So many of these incredibly handmade textiles are hidden in a cupboard, protected, but never used hotsell.
Alyssa cherished the cloth for years, but felt like it could have a whole new life, as a beautiful dress, for everyone to see, and potentially be past down to another generation, encompassing a century of life.
The beautiful hand-stitched embroidered light pink cloth is a combination of cross-stitched flowers and square pulled thread design. The old cloth is in amazing antique condition, the stitch work is exquisite.
Every detail of this dress has been carefully considered, including the fine finishes inside the dress, the button adjustable straps, ties for extra contour and fit. The elastic back panel ensures comfort. There are hidden pockets, because every good dress should have pockets.
I cannot express how exciting I am to share this special garment, steeped in history and brought into the present, paired with the most beautiful (and Ethical) Organic Cotton, GOTS certified, soft and silky.

Certified Organic Cotton
This means the cotton has been farmed without toxic chemicals, pesticides and fertilisers and never with genetically modified seeds.
Instead soil is conditioned though crop rotation. Weeds are controlled by physical removal rather than chemical treatment. Insects are controlled by encouraging beneficial insects with companion planting and in turn pests are preyed upon by these beneficial predators.
Why Organic?
Conventional (non-organic) cotton is one of the most highly chemical intensive crops on earth. By comparison conventional cotton covers 3% of the earths arable land, yet in production it uses 10% of the world's agricultural chemicals and 25% of all insecticides.
In time pests build up a resistance to the chemicals used against them, so higher volumes of these toxic treatments need to be used and new pesticides are constantly being developed.
Contamination from these dangerous chemicals enters local waterways, destroying the natural environment, eco-systems and harming animals. In addition to the environmental factors, food and water supplies can also be contaminated from runoff which can ultimately cause disease, mental illness, sickness and birth defects in local communities.
