The Story Dress 9/27 reiddressDescription Can you imagine the quiet breath that inhaled and exhaled with the pull of every handheld stitch? The gentle rhythm of the heartbeat inside the chest that cradled each tiny fragment of fabric, once part of an old worn out suit or work shirt, and the thoughts, and peace, that made their way through the mind and soul as the patchwork came together night after night and day after day? Our Story Dress and its magnificent maximalist silhouette

Workwear meets art piece in our classic Jemima Trench

puffed knit sleeves and a high-waisted silhouette complete with individually hammered antique brass snaps

Depression Era feed and flour sacks and early Mennonite wools and wovens

oversized work shirts and cozy winter dresses to be worn indoors or out

and all interior seams have been neatly clean finished with bias bound edges

wear over a cotton dress or under a quilt or denim chore coat for versatile spring styling and to cut the fading winter wind

each piece is one of one

Bib: 12" | Waist: 20" | Hip: 22

and impressive calico prints

the one I’m always happiest to reach for in a freshly tidied kitchen with a jug of flowers from the market sitting on the table

making this very limited collection as accessible as possible
