The Little Dress That Bought My Creativity Back

This little dress is a bit special to me.

It’s the first children’s dress I’ve made after taking a long break from sewing. As I slowly stitched it together, I realised I’d found something I’d been missing—my creativity.

Every fabric was chosen from pieces I’d been saving for years, making this dress completely one of a kind.

I hope it finds a little person who loves adventures, climbing trees, collecting treasures and making beautiful memories.

I make most of my clothes using a mix of upcycled and new fabrics, so each piece is unique. You might notice the odd imperfection here or there - that's just part of the charm and character that comes with using pre-loved fabrics.

Details:

- Size 3 years

- Unique patchwork bodice

- Full gathered skirt

- Long puffed sleeves with elastic at waist

- Wooden button closure at the ack

- One of a kind
