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/ 

Easy like Sunday Morning

I decided to wear denim to church yesterday morning but to jazz up my Levi drain pipes or skinny jeans as they are called today I picked up one of my double peplum tops and wore with some casual platforms to give my 5foot 1 frame a little height

I make this piece

in UK sizes6 - 20 it can be made sleeveless if preferred See it here

Hi Low Peplum Top I made yesterday morning and other things

My client chose this flowery Ankara from the swatches she saw. She wanted a hi low peplum top she can wear on jeans a slight customisation from the style on my site

I finished the piece around 10am in the morning and thought I better make something for my self, since the weather is getting warmer 9oC! I decided to make an Ankara jumpsuit for myself. I had made one in jersey fabric 2 weeks ago 2oC.
