Chanteuse Shirt Dress - Mosaic
Bold and styish, the Chanteuse will have you singing from the rooftops! This dress is flattering on all shapes can be worn with a belt for those who love more structure, or without for a looser fit. The sleeves are long with elastication to allow the wearer to choose where they sit.
Made with a lightweight cotton linen blend, it has the look and feel of linen, with the added robustness of cotton. The weave and weight of the fabric means it has some transparency, so we recommend wearing nude underwear or a petticoat underneath.
Note: it will have a firm/stiff feel feel when new but softens beautifully after wearing and with washing.

About the fabric
Our fabric is Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified, which provides you with a guarantee of the ethical status of the product; from harvesting of the raw organic cotton to its environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing into the fabric we use to make our garments.
How we create
We order fabric in small batches and make our garments in runs of 20 – 50 at a time. This means your garment is not mass produced and can’t be found everywhere! It also means there is minimal fabric wastage. What off cuts we do have we keep and use for small projects such as scrunchies, headbands, hats or undies, or we give to other small businesses and our local school. If you have a need for fabric scraps, get in touch!
Where our making happens
Being a 'made in New Zealand' business is super important to us! Feel good knowing that you are supporting local kiwi makers who are paid fairly and working to produce garments we hope you love and wear for a long time.
Low impact delivery
We keep our packaging to a minimum. All shipments are packed using recyclable materials in compostable mailer packs. As we grow, we are looking at ways we can make our packing and delivery more sustainable. Keep your eye on what we are doing in this space.
