Many of my dresses can be made up as custom orders in the fabric of your choice from my vintage and remnants fabric collection. This page features some of the fabrics I currently have in stock. They are all either vintage, recycled or remnant fabrics, and as such there is only ever enough for one dress (unless I have made special note about there being a larger amount available). This means that no one else will ever have the same dress as you. It also means that once a fabric is sold it is gone forever, so if there is something you really love, be quick!
A quick note about the fiber contents. The remnant fabrics, because they are still technically new fabrics, I can generally be 100% confident of their fiber content if they came with a label. However, for vintage and recycled fabrics I usually have to work out the content by performing a burn test, which cannot be entirely accurate. With these fabrics I have done my best to describe them from what I know.

Forget-me-nots Print
To me this fabric is just begging to be made up into a little white summer dress! It is a remnant piece, and is a soft, lightweight, 100% cotton. The white fabric background is sprinkled with a print of tiny blue flowers.

Field of Daisies Print
This remnant fabric is an extremely light and floaty 100% cotton. It is a happy tone of pastel yellow, with a small raised daisy print all over. It pretty much feels like the perfect summer fabric, as it makes me think of a field of daisies on a sunny day.

| Small Butterflies Print This beautiful upcycled/recycled fabric is so adorable and will make such a lovely dress, with butterflies alighting all over you! From a burn test the fiber content appears to be synthetic, most likely acrylic. |

| Art Nouveau Print This lovely, vintage inspired pastel print makes me think of Art Nouveau, or perhaps a feedsack print. The fabric is a remnant and is 100% cotton. It is a wonderful, tight weave and has a lovely crispness to it. It would look amazing as an Elisa dress with it's little peter pan collar! |

| Cornflower Eyelet This adorable eyelet fabric is in the perfect shade of cornflower blue. It is quite soft and a little sheer.If you would like a dress made up in this I will line it for you in a white cotton voile to counteract the sheerness of the fabric and the eyelet holes. From a burn test the fiber content appears to be synthetic, most likely acrylic. |

| Large Butterflies Print Same as the small butterflies print, only on a larger scale! This beautiful upcycled/recycled fabric is so adorable and will make such a lovely dress, with butterflies alighting all over you. From a burn test the fiber content appears to be synthetic, most likely acrylic. |
