Rivermont Dress in black ponte
I’ve made so.many.versions of Cashmerette’s Rivermont Dress & Peplum pattern. I got this black ponte from Tessuti in Australia.

Lacey Dress from StyleArc
This Lacey Dress from StyleArc is lovely, but hard to find online. As you can imagine, typing ‘lacey dress’ gets you an awful lot of lace dresses and the hashtags are all a mess too. If you’re reading this StyleArc, hire me and I’ll fix your hashtags! This isn’t part of my normal colour scheme…… Continue reading Lacey Dress from StyleArc
Zero-Waste Jacket from Elbe

I drastically increased the size of this everywhere because I wanted something wearable, cozy and that doubled as a rug for grass protection.

Grey Rivermont Peplum
I’ve made so.many.versions of Cashmerette’s Rivermont Dress & Peplum pattern. I got this grey ponte from Tessuti in Australia.
