Copper Dress

Dress with Ruffle Hem

This copper dress is the fourth made in the same style. The pattern has been modified a bit by adding in-seam pockets and here, a gentle chiffon ruffle floating underneath. From flannel to shimmering fabric the dress has evolved.

Detail: Chiffon Ruffle

Have ordered a sample of light reflective fabric made by 3M. I am eager to make reflective clothing. (The fabric is really more industrial. Waiting for the sample to test its possibilities!)

Slow Style

Slow Style is an ongoing project by Sarah Kate Beaumont who since 2008 has designed and crafted every piece of her wardrobe. She has not purchased clothing since the project began.

Combining art and craftsmanship Beaumont’s project embraces individual style and sustainability. It seeks to empower others to question assumptions of consumerism with its inherent cycle of acquisition and disposal, and as an alternative, to explore self-reliance in our shared ecosystem.

Slow Style

Verysweetlife seeks to empower her audience to embrace authentic, individual style free from fast-fashion and consumerism, and to explore self-reliance in our shared ecosystem.

Since 2008 the artist Sarah Kate Beaumont has made what she wears, designing and assembling each piece. These are slow clothes, combining craftsmanship and art.
