The One Dress

Girl Maths or Cost Per Wear (CPW) is a concept where we can start to think about how much the garment will really cost us.....

Our Girl Month Bible is HERE

Basically, we might buy something for £20 and wear it once, but if we buy something for £200 and just wear it 20 times that is £10 per wear. Wear it 200 times and its just £1!!! Often when we pay a little more for something, we will love it more because we really had to think about it before we handed over our money. It kinda makes sense right?

Read more about our transparent pricing and processes here and check out the girl math examples on all of our Black Elements Collection items.

It is something the 'fashion' world in particular is really bad at.... but we are bad-ass so nothing to hide under this piece of tartan, nothing bad but maybe an ass!

• Size – Made to Measure, please specify your preferred tee length, your maximum bust size and note down the widest hip circumference. These sizes are so that we can make you the best fitting tee you have ever owned. Your tee will be made to order, then despatched within 2 weeks of the fabric being woven during the 4 X A Year batch period.

• Length – you can select from our three tee lengths. The length in inches listed is from the top of the tee to the bottom of the hem. We have a crop at 18”, a waist at 23” and a hipster length of 28”

• Max Bust & Widest Hips – we ask this to make sure that if you go for the waist or hipster length we want to make sure the tee fits comfortably. As this tee is made from wool there is a little give but we would not want it to be too tight. So where your hips are larger than your bust then we would use your hip size to guide us for the overall tee width.

• Neck Opening – a maximum of 24” head circumference

• Sleeve Sizes & Length – this is a loose fitting sleeve by design and have listed the maximum bicep sizes for you to select from. All sleeves are 8” long.

• Item Finishing – Hemmed sleeves and tee bottom, with branded real leather label specifying the makers batch.

• Fabric Design - The Elements of Endurance Tartan, designed by us!

• Weave Design - repeated throughout the fabric is the alchemy element symbols, earth, air, water and fire, represented in triangle form.

• Fabric Repeat – all fabric has been cut by hand from the cloth roll woven at our mill, therefore aspects of the repeat will be unique to each item, which is pretty cool as it makes them all unique!

• Colour Options - Earth (brown), Air (grey), Water (blue) and Fire (red), each element tartan features four colours from the colour family it represents.

• Fabric Weight Options - Medium (compact and cosy), Heavy (dense and structured), Light (open and delicate)
