“Unique items from The Red Dress project 2009- 2023”
The Red Dress project, conceived by British artist Kirstie Macleod, provides an artistic platform for individuals (majority women) around the world, many of whom are vulnerable and live in poverty, to tell their story through embroidery.
From 2009 to 2023, pieces of the Red Dress travelled the globe being continuously embroidered onto. Constructed out of 87 pieces of burgundy silk dupion, the garment has been worked on by 367 women/girls, 11 men/boys and 2 non-binary artists from 51 countries between 2009 - 2023.
The completed garment is now travelling to various museums and event spaces around the world, sharing its message of unity, peace, love and cross cultural collaboration.

Thank you for creating such a beautiful and amazing project bringing the world together in art, creativity and Love!
I'm so proud to be able to contribute in some small way. It fits perfectly with my beliefs, values, creative focus and love of fiber arts. I've spent much of my career in apparel pattern making and design, and I was fortunate enough to spend 3 months teaching sewing and crafts classes in a small village in Madagascar as part of an eco-tourism project. Thank You, Thank You, Thank YOU!

I am not quite sure how I learned of this project but found it fascinating. I wanted to read the catalog and share some of the post cards with friends. I received all items fairly quickly and well packaged - it was coming from overseas. No problems were encountered and everything was received accurately described. Thank you!

Lovely design of such a special dress with an even more important message in these times. Wish there was a poster size print.
