Naive Days Project


It is a "very big" dream of mine to make a small collection of children clothing.
I did the drawing and the design, and tailor in Beijing made this blue dress. Alliot, I said I would show you this piece of dress which is made of chinese tradional dyed and hand-weaved fabric the other day. Here it is , the clothmaking process took longer time than I expected and is not that simple as I thought.


There is a hope, anyway, as long as it is slow progressing, I wish. There are a few more sample clothing which are on the way to Norway now, I hope there are well tailored according to my specification.


I also spend some time to find the "right" fabric. The right fabric seems bit expensive since it is hand- dyed and hand-weaved. I like the color and texture a lot. The first picture is the same kind of fabric which I bought in Beijing.

I deeply in love with your choice on hand-dyed and hand-weaved fabric. It's authentic and basic.

Which size does Iza use normally for her dress? She looks taller than the normal 6 years old, doesn't she? Have a good week!
