Garment Care

COTTON + ORGANIC COTTON CLOTHING

All our pieces are crafted using low impact dyes. While this is wonderful for our planet and our bodies, it does mean a little extra care is required to keep your garment in A1 condition, which ultimately means longer lasting.

WASH: Separately for the first 1 - 2 times. You will see a little colour bleeding out in these earlier washes, so take care to avoid washing with lighter pieces. No need to add salt - all our pieces have been pre-washed in hot water already. The mordants in low impact dyes are not as chemically rich as regular dyes though, so they don't 'fix' the same way.

DRY: In the shade always. Our low impact dyes will fade much faster if left in the sun.

DO NOT: Wash in hot water - this will ensure the colour bleeds much more than it should, and your piece will fade faster.

Love Surya

I absolutely love the clothes I’m getting from Surya - I get so many comments and compliments, people wanting to know where I get them from. I wanted to love the Valentina dress, it’s a wonderful cut, perfect for womanly hips. I’m also quite big busted so this dress, even in the XL is tight and gaping (I checked the measurements before buying) but alas I appreciate not everyone has big bewbs like me. On sale I’ll be keeping them and getting out the sewing machine or buying a minimiser bra! Bust aside, this dress is a PERFECT fit and cut.

Valentina dress, natural chic and comfort

The dress fits perfectly (true to size after washing), drapes beautifully and feels soft and comfortable against my skin. I feel elegant wearing it!

Beautiful but…

The dress is gorgeous. The material is lovely.
But the arm holes are too small/tight and it’s a little tight across the bust.
I am normally a roomy size 18 but the XL is a tad too small.
I did double check my measurements and they were a few centimetres smaller than the maximum.

"I love the Calliope dress so much that I've since ordered one in the oatmeal as well. I just felt so comfortable while wearing it. Looks great with a long sleeve top underneath and some boots for winter but will also work in summer with sandals and a t-shirt underneath."
