I used to always avoid full length dresses, simply because I didn’t have the guts to wear them. It takes someone to confidently wear a real striking number to turn that all around. My friend Georgie, who is a primary school teacher and talented artist, has done just this for me. Since meeting her, I’ve been on the lookout for a design for a hemp long hemp dress and found this one that I adapted from a Merchant and Mills pattern. Dresses and practicality are two words that don’t usually go together. Well Georgie does both, and so does this dress! Crop to the length you require.

COLOUR CARE
The natural colours we work with are durable and remain strong for a good length of time if washed with care (machine wash 30 degrees Celcius). However part of their joy and uniqueness is also the way they will change and respond to their environment over time, including the type of water they are washed in. For best results always follow care instructions on the label or refer to the care section under FAQs.
 
DELIVERY TIMES:
This is a hand-made, slow fashion product, using plant dyeing processes that take care and time, and each garment is finished to a high standard to ensure maximum durability and longevity. All garments that are made to order will take between 3-6 weeks to process. If you need the garment by a certain date or would like to know a more exact shipping date, please get in touch and I will do my best to accommodate.
