I am Pleased to Present my Collection of Fine Antique and Vintage Children's Clothing. Each item has been Hand selected by me. I have been collecting and Restoring Vintage and Antique Clothing for over 30 years. Each garment is carefully Cleaned and Repaired. I do all repairs using cotton thread and backing the fabric with other pieces of Vintage fabric. Slow weaving mends the way they used to back in the Day. I add Antique Lace Embellishments and Hand Dye each piece. I use vinegar to set color and several cold water rinses after that. I Love the process and I am Passionate about my work. Sustainable Fashion is a movement to foster change to the fashion Industry towards greater ecological integrity and social justice.
Care: Hand Wash in lukewarm water (preferably using non petroleum based soap). I recommend Laundress. Hang to dry! Steam or press if desired.
