Stone Garden

Inspired by fashion toiles and stately home gardens, 5 million stitches cover calico. Mixing the man-made with nature whilst testing creative ways of shading within embroidery and using the embroidery itself as a structure for the dress.

Materials: Organic cotton base, with all embroidery using Madeira threads some of which are made from recycled plastics.
