Stitched to last
Full circle collection
Spring / Summer 2023
Designed with timeless silhouettes of by gone eras and dancing in mind, a full circle dress or skirt is a lovely addition to a sustainable summer wardrobe and will certainly turn heads at vintage themed events or 50s style weddings. This S/S 2023 collection of ultra feminine, full circle skirts & dresses have flattering sweetheart necklines, nipped in waists, midi lengths & pockets. Each garment is ethically made in Melissa's cosy creative studio on the beautiful Scottish island of Mull. Each order is tailored to your measurements providing ensuring a wonderful fit for all, as reflected in customer reviews.
Design Principles
Made to order
The popular made to measure service is still complementary and only requires 3 simple measurements - ensuring a flattering, feel good fit for all.
​
Melissa believes in the power of drafting her own patterns and throwing aways the shaming ‘standard’ size guides. Making each garment upon receipt of your order equates to less waste, limited editions also ensure each piece is more unique, ideal for every day glamour or extra special occasions!
Eco-conscious Cotton & Iconic Liberty prints
Over the last 13 years, it's been brilliant to see more organic & sustainable materials become available. This full circle collection contains no synthetic, toxic 'poly' plastic fibres, only natural pure cotton that is compostable / ocean safe. Organic pure cotton thread is used in the sewing machines, gift wrapping & packaging is also zero plastic. Browse more eco-conscious material here.
Ethically stitched to last in Scotland
Like so many of our lovely customers and other eco-conscious creatives, we are aware of the harrowing impact fast and fleeting fashion trends have on our planet and peoples lives. So this collection prioritises our planet, quality over quantity, and the classic, vintage inspired, timeless silhouettes that never go out of style.
