Fair clothing can be traded, thrifted, made, bought...can be lovingly altered, repaired, refashioned...there are so many choices. When it comes to dresses, I love the option of taking the fabric from a thrifted dress that is maybe the wrong size + remaking it into a new dress. Dresses can easily be shortened in length or sleeve length...or even made from a top...with a little length added from different fabric.
Here, we're looking at two options for dresses. Fair brands (on the left) + sewn from independent pattern designers (on the right). I love that a sewist can appreciate the craftsmanship of a ready-made dress...and that anyone can learn to sew! No need to choose all or nothing, one way or the other. ;)

I'm looking forward to dresses again this year. One piece dressing is my favorite. While layering over + under dresses is great...bare legs + plimsolls, sandals or bare feet are my favorite accessories for dresses...which makes dreaming the best option right now. :)
