Wearable pieces of art and history!
Quilt Dresses
The quilt dress is the ultimate piece of clothing! Comfortable, chic, and totally unique. These dresses are an opportunity to wear a piece of history that holds a story. Each quilt is sourced locally, range from 1870s - 1940s and are hand made. I will only use a quilt that is already flawed, giving it new life as a textile rather than being stored on a shelf.
Garment Care
Wear more & wash less! If it needs a wash, throw it in the washing machine (cold water) and dryer (short time on low heat) - all pieces have been laundered that way. One of the things that I embrace and celebrate in these pieces are the flaws or distressed areas. These make up the personality and character of the quilt itself. These quilts are 100+ years old and that’s part of the magic of owning and wearing a quilt garment.
Measurements for a Quilt Dress
There are 5 key measurements that we make on these garments.
Sleeve opening: the circumference of the sleeve opening
Neck to Sleeve: the distance from the neck opening to the edge of the sleeve
Length: a measurement from the shoulder to the bottom hem of the garment
Bust: the circumference of the bust area
Hip: the circumference of the hip area
