Introducing this exquisite Women's Embroidered Dress, a one-of-a-kind piece crafted from a cherished heirloom cloth and 100% Organic Natural Cotton. This dress is not only beautiful but also holds a century of history within its stitches.
The cloth used for this dress is a hand-me-down from Grandma Jean's embroidered tablecloth, making it truly unique and special. Alyssa, the creator of this dress, has carefully repurposed the cloth to give it a new life and create a timeless piece that can be passed down through generations.
The hand-stitched embroidery on the dress showcases a stunning combination of cross-stitched flowers and floral madeira, adding an intricate and delicate touch to the overall design.
Attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this dress. From the fine finishes on the inside to the adjustable button straps and ties for a customized fit, every element has been thoughtfully considered. The elastic back panel ensures comfort, while the hidden pockets add functionality because, as we all know, every good dress should have pockets.

Certified Organic Cotton
This means the cotton has been farmed without toxic chemicals, pesticides and fertilisers and never with genetically modified seeds.
Instead soil is conditioned though crop rotation. Weeds are controlled by physical removal rather than chemical treatment. Insects are controlled by encouraging beneficial insects with companion planting and in turn pests are preyed upon by these beneficial predators.
Why Organic?
Conventional (non-organic) cotton is one of the most highly chemical intensive crops on earth. By comparison conventional cotton covers 3% of the earths arable land, yet in production it uses 10% of the world’s agricultural chemicals and 25% of all insecticides.
In time pests build up a resistance to the chemicals used against them, so higher volumes of these toxic treatments need to be used and new pesticides are constantly being developed.
Contamination from these dangerous chemicals enters local waterways, destroying the natural environment, eco-systems and harming animals. In addition to the environmental factors, food and water supplies can also be contaminated from runoff which can ultimately cause disease, mental illness, sickness and birth defects in local communities.
