Making one of our Popular Vintage Dresses the Slowfashion Way

 

Slowfashion is a new way of working in the fashion industry. It’s main advantage is that it reduces wastage, but another pertinent advantage is that it allows for equity and fairness to the makers of the clothes. It also allows small makers in the western world who were hitherto cut out of fashion because the cost of production to be able to make clothes. Platforms such as Etsy have given slow makers like myself a space to start a small unique business. https://elizabethjulianah.com/ 

My Peter Pan Collar Dress, dress it up or dress it down

 Hi All 

I have been missing in action! I start again showing my favourite makes. I made this dress late last year from a poplin cotton I fell in love with as it looked like the copper and bronzes of Autumn leaves.This post has been a long time coming because I made it months ago, lol. 

I like to make simple silhouettes and let accessories speak for the dress, below is how this dress may be styled or it can be dressed down with patent brogues and coloured tights what do you think?
