ABOUT GAIA CONCEPTIONS

All Gaia Conceptions clothing is designed, cut, and dyed by artist Andrea Crouse using certified organic and eco-friendly fabrics. Each creation is hand sewn by Andrea and her helpers Anne, Kate, and Kathy. Your garment is then hand dyed using fiber reactive low impact dyes or natural plant dyes. Andrea custom makes each garment just for you based on your size and color choice. Because all pieces are hand cut, sewn, and dyed please expect variations in each garment. These subtle differences should be celebrated as the mark of a hand made piece created especially for you!

**** IT IS MY GOAL TO MAKE MY CLIENTS HAPPY WITH THEIR GAIA CONCEPTIONS PURCHASE AND I’M PLEASED TO WORK WITH YOU UNTIL WE GET IT JUST RIGHT!****

The FABRICS I use are the following:
CERTIFIED ORGANIC COTTON - is grown in Texas and India, ginned in North Carolina, and made into fabric in South Carolina. This is my most sustainable fabric and I offer a knit or stretchy lycra. This fabric is very soft and smooth.
HEMP/CERTIFIED ORGANIC COTTON BLEND - This fabric has a mild stretch and is very soft. It is offered in a knit or a stretchy lycra. This fabric is a bit thicker and more textured when compared to the organic cotton.
ORGANIC HEMP/COTTON FLEECE - This is a fantastic super warm fleece. Soft and fuzy on the inside and smooth on the outside.
ORGANIC MERINO WOOL - This fabric is soft, warm, and 100% NOP certified organic knit Merino wool from Vermont. A superior quality wool that embodies all of the intuitive characteristics we have come to love about wool without any itchiness.
STRETCHY ORGANIC MERINO WOOL - Same as wool above but with a little lycra for stretch.
TUSSAH SILK – often also called Peace Silk or Vegetarian Silk. However, my research has found that although Peace Silk is better for the environment it falls a bit short on what could be called Vegetarian. Quite beautiful with linen like qualities it has a nubby feel and very little stretch.

HOW TO ORDER...........current turnaround is 1-2 weeks from payment

PLEASE PROVIDE SIZE AND YOUR COLOR CHOICE WITH EACH ORDER IN MESSAGE TO SELLER BOX WHEN ORDERING

SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
I will custom make your item once order is placed based on your size choice and/or measurements. Please use the size chart represented in image 4 or 5 with most items to determine your general size. It also helps to include measurements and let me know if you have a unique quality such as: long waisted, short legs, or pregnant. Please visit my shop policies section for measurement directions.
It is normal for your garment to be a bit snug at first. It will relax out after about 15 min of wearing.
The model in most of these images is B-37, W-28, Hip-38 and is wearing a size small for a more fitted look.
I can work with measurements up to 52"

COLOR:
Each Garment is dyed by hand with fiber reactive dyes or natural dyes. The color chart is located in image 5 with most items. For a description of all my colors visit my profile.
*IMPORTANT* Also note that colors vary depending on your computer and color settings. Colors may also vary slightly from dye bath to dye bath. This is the nature of dyeing things by hand. Any slight tone variations due to the hand dyeing process will even out during first few washing.
If you decide to have your Garment naturally dyed please purchase the Make Mine with Natural Plant Dye option for each garment and read carefully. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32015823
