The Oak Dress - Cosmos Dyed

A simple, elegant & naturally dyed linen dress, designed by us and sustainably produced.

This is the first dress in the soon to be expanded range of Craftmonger Clothes, which we are very excited to produce.

This dress is designed to be oversized and flowing for comfort and freedom of movement. The linen tie can be tightened for a more fitted look, or looped around the waist fully and tied at the front. We are a firm supporter of pockets in all women’s clothes and have included two of them in the pleated skirt.

The fabric is 100% natural, OEKO Tex certified, European linen sourced from Merchant & Mills. It has been naturally dyed with cosmos flowers by Sophie Holt who runs Pigment Organic Dyes. Sophie organically grows all the plants and flowers used in her dying process just five minutes away from the shop.

The making of these dresses took place at The Mend Assembly in Totnes, ten minutes away from our shop, by Abbi a seamstress there who is excellent at what she does. We wanted to the production of our Craftmonger clothes to be fair, local and as sustainable as possible and this also aligns with the values of The Mend Assembly, who we are very happy to be working with.

Due to the nature of natural dying with plants, the fabric has some areas of mottling. This is subtle and an aesthetic we like as it reflects the natural process, however if you want specific images of the mottling on the dress please contact us.
