On-Demand Knitting:
All of our knitwear is made on-demand in Brooklyn, New York. We're passionate about being part of the solution to reduce waste, which is why we make our products on-demand. This means that your sweater doesn't sit around for months before it reaches you - we start working on it as soon as you place your order!
Since we're creating each piece just for you, it may take a bit longer to receive your order than with traditional fashion brands. On average, it takes 3-6 days to knit your sweater after you place your order, and then shipping can take 2-5 days. But we promise it will be worth the wait! Our slow fashion approach means you're getting a high-quality product that's good for the planet too.

Fans Rave: Clothes Don't Get More Effortless Than This
"Soft, cool, breathable"
This is a fantastic find - yesterday in Florida the temperature ranged from around 60 to 85 - and my Summer sweater was perfectly comfortable, inside, outside, sun and shade! I appreciate that it's light weight, soft, cool, and breathable.

"Blown away by versatility"
Blown away by its versatility - it could be 85 outside and 66 inside, and I was comfortable in both temp ranges... How is that possible?! In 30 days, I washed 3 times and had no issues with smells. No one even noticed that I was wearing the same sweater everyone day!!

How sustainable is this product?
Our materials, SeaCell and organic cotton, are both remarkably sustainable. We can replace plastic-based synthetic fibers with these materials; together, they are soft, abundant, and strong. Unlike plastic polyester, SeaCell and organic cotton are made from regenerative resources and 100% biodegradable.
In addition to using 91% less water than conventionally-grown cotton, organic cotton requires 62% less energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 42%. Further, the lack of pesticides decreases waterway pollution by 26% and the chances of acid rain by 70%.
Customer Reviews
I have worn this dress doing the most mundane and sedentary adventures to some pretty active adventures - I’ve had a doctor appointment, relaxed, cooked, played pickle ball, walked for exercise, and saw a LOT of clients, in temperatures ranging from mid-50s to low 80s. This dress is up for all of it!! And wearing it several days in a row, gives credence to The Spotlight Effect. No one seemed to notice at all - in fact one of my clients complimented me on my dress on two different days, as though she hadn’t seen it before. I was a bit skeptical of the blue-grey color. But I have a number of pieces now, and while navy is still my favorite of their palate, this dress is not offered at the moment in navy. The blue-grey was NOT a disappointment. It’s a perfect backdrop for any number of shoes, sandals, and accessories. It can be dressed up or worn plain, and it will appear as different dresses. The fit is absolutely my favorite fit. Very similar to the All Season Swing Dress, it gives shape where I’d like it, but has a little give where I’d rather have a little extra loose fabric to hide the never to recover baby pooch. The shoulders are wide enough to cover the straps on most of my bras (not all of them - but that’s not important to me). The back is full and covered all of the straps. And the armholes do not gape, while not constricting either. I’m 5’5, ~150 lbs, and I have short legs for my height. So, I need my clothes below my waist to fall correctly within a very small window. This fits the bill! Just above my knee - exactly where I like it. It’s like it was made for me. I know some women are wondering about pockets. No pockets. However, I carry either a crossbody purse and/or I wear a favorite pair of biking shorts with pockets - that’s where I keep my phone. A pocket in this material on this dress would probably not hold the weight of my phone or would weirdly pull the fabric anyway. So - the trade off is worth it to me. I will definitely be wearing this a LOT this summer and into the fall, as it pairs great with a jacket. If you are on the fence about this dress - make the leap. Order the dress. You won’t regret it. 10/10
