Green, organic and fair trade


So the 'Betty sure was Good' dress, was brilliantly good and gorgeous along with the 'Betty's Good Tee' and 'Betty's Good Night' dresses made in an organic, fair trade cotton produced by Bishopston Trading company. 

I now have 'Betty's good night' in sea foam green as requested by one of our lovely Australian customers. Isn't it great in this colour? I'm always happy to receive requests for bespoke colours. Send me an email or a colour swatch and i'll see if I can match it for you.

Oh Baby......Magenta Cord







We have just finished three super cute baby cord dress in fair trade cotton with hand dip dyed hems. They feel gorgeously soft to wear, we just wish we had been able to grab more of this fabulous magenta pink. 
Available in our asos boutique. one has a dropped waist and the other have a high waist, not sure which I prefer at the moment?
On another note it's my Mums birthday tomorrow and to celebrate, tonight we are going to the circus, not just any circus though, Giffords circus, I'm very excited!

Little Black Guilt Free Dress


Our perfect little black, fair trade, organic super, super, good and mostly (we did use electricity) guilt free dress. And it doesn't look like a dish cloth! As you know, I do like to try and be as ethical as I can in my dress making. I don't want to simply jump on the 'ethical' band wagon and do everything organic. I've been experimenting with sourcing fair trade fabrics whilst maintaing reasonable prices and high quality.
This dress has been a wonderful success, the cotton is beautiful and ticks all the boxes. It's even sourced locally from Bishopston Trading Co. in Bristol!

Made with a fitted bodice and full 50's skirt and also includes a separate net underskirt and pockets!
This was a custom order but will be availbale in the shop soon.
