Garden Overalls

Exploring the interconnection of the outdoors and feminine stereotypes. These overalls are inspired by an apron with sloping curved sides and a halter neck strap. Functionally was a key component with a sustainability focus on natural dyes.

 
 

Avocado and Coffee Dye

Linen blouse was hand draped and dyed with avocado pits to create a blush pink tone. Flower print was over dyed with coffee, to add a vintage feel to the vibrant fabric.

Hand Embroidery and Closures

Brown embroidery was added to alternating corners of both knee covers and to the center pocket. The embroidery is motifs of floral arrangements that complement the feminine and garden feel of the overalls.

Inner plackets have been hidden inside of both pockets to allow an unseen button closure. The pockets also wrap completely around to the back creating one large side pocket. The makes the overalls functional and wearable.
