This shirt dress is gorgeous! The material is light and flowy. Great for those hotter days or more humid climates. Can be worn layered for those cooler climates. Stitching and craftsmanship is of high quality.

Thanks so much Natalie. So glad to are happy with it!

Shirt arrived in a timely manner. The fabric is of great quality, it’s sturdy and not flimsy/too thin. The stitching and the structure of the top is high quality. The colours are great!

Cathy responded on Jul 28, 2025

Thanks so much for you review Natalie.

Arrived in a timely manner. The fabric is even better in person! Love the fact that it is sustainable. There were no signs of general wear and tear for a fabric that’s been repurposed. The stitching is of high quality. The structure of the shirt is beautiful.

Cathy responded on Jul 28, 2025

Thanks Natalie, so glad you are happy with all your purchases. Hope to see you again soon.

Handmade, Sustainable, Vintage, Upcycled

Hello,

Nice of you to drop by and have a read of my story....

I keep busy by creating handmade wares and collecting vintage finds!

I hand make everything in Northern NSW from sustainable, upcycled materials sourced within Australia.

I love op shops. I get such a buzz out of finding that piece of pre-loved treasure that someone has discarded.

Finding table cloths, fabric, tea towels, linens, wool, clothes, or anything that is unique or vintage and being able to up-cycling it into something special that others will love makes me very happy!

I also love that in creating something from my op shop finds, I am donating to charities around Australia and by recycling textiles/fashions, in a small way, I am reducing the amount of waste associated with the culture of fast fashion.

So I sew clothes, bags, quilts, I weave and crochet and will try my hand at anything creative that takes my interest!

My background is Fashion Design, Pattern making, Dressmaking, Product development.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cathy
