MATERIALS AND EMBELLISHMENTS
The majority of materials used to create my items are upcycled, refashioned or reworked from my collection of preloved garments, unique textiles, vintage linens and found treasures.
Used in this item are:
-brown and orange dress
-black grosgrain ribbon
-metal D rings
-black satin lacing cord
Due to the different settings and fidelity in computer monitors and devices, the fabric and colour tones may appear slightly different in person. I do my best to photograph the items as accurately as possible. However variations in time of day, daylight, shade etc. can also affect this.
Unfortunately, shipping can incur some wrinkling in the fabrics, and as this garment is made from a variety of mediums it will require care when washing, drying or ironing (pressing).
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Each fabric piece can respond differently to heat so:
- when washing, cold water and hand washing is recommended
- when drying, natural air dry is preferable over tumble drying as some fabrics may shrink
- when ironing, set the iron to a warm rather than hot setting and iron from the reverse side or with a piece of cotton over any delicate fabrics
