Dotty Delightful

I wanted to share with you one of my lovely sponsors, Dotty Delightful. I’ve known the lovely Dotty online for several years, and have long admired the pictures she shares of her wonderful creations. In her own words:

At Dotty Delightful I really care about our environment. I reuse and recycle our packaging, I use vintage, new and rediscovered fabrics and items and turn them into new products for the home, gifts for loved ones and beautiful clothes fit for a woodland fairy.

This collection came from my love of nature and being in the forest, I love dreamy clothes that make the wearer feel special. I really enjoy embellishing the dresses with vintage lace, beads and pearls, each item has its own story, some embellishments came from vintage wedding dresses, others from 1940’s embroidery. I also do custom orders.

Dotty Delightful clothes are a little bit magical, a little bit fairy-ish and a little boho. In other words, just my style ;) I love handmade clothing, it’s so much more special than buying something mass produced that every other person is wearing too.

If you’re looking for some beautiful, dreamy clothing Dotty Delightful is the place to look – visit their Etsy or facebook page and say hello!

    Whilst I would not wear such clothes because they seem fragile and people would laugh at me, I both romanticise and admire such clothing. Admire it because, especially in Australia’s hot climate, there is much practical about wearing that sort of loose clothing rather than the shorts and T-shirt I wear from October to May in Melbourne. It protects better against the sun and is much cooler than tight shorts despite covering more of you.

    It is romantic of a gentle, pastoral, but self-denying culture which – because it is so opposed to the hedonistic lifestyle of inner-city Australia and all of the Enriched World – I find really fascinating, as you might guess from looking at my reading list on amazon.com. Whilst Australians are prepared to sacrifice quite a bit intellectually and materially for space, affordability and reasonable emotional ties compared to the people of today’s Enriched World who tend towards the radically individualistic and egalitarian – believing that any form of self-sacrifice is a denial of self-fulfilment – it is nothing comapred to what I have read of groups like the Amish.
