Choolips Dress

I have had lots of positive comments when wearing my Choolips dress recently - and it's been warm enough to get some of my dresses out of the cupboard this year! It's a nice flattering shape as it skims across the tummy.

It was made in Ghana - you pay upfront so the dyers, printers and sewers can afford to make the dress, and then have the excitement of awaiting its arrival. I didn't get as many posts about its progress as I had been led to believe so did wonder if I had been taken for a ride, but the company is now confirmed as bona fide - and I saw an example of their latest collection at the Ethical Fashion Forum last month: beautiful space-dyed fabric in colours of indigo and deep red. The prices are now a bit higher - mine was a special offer as they were starting out - but worth it for a special event.
