Usage notes:


Dress:  I have been wearing this dress close to once a week since I have purchased it.  It is made from organic cotton and has washed and worn very well.  It's a dress that I wear for work.


Shoes:  have been resoled once by a local cobbler.  I do go through stages of wearing these shoes but they have been well loved so far.  No issues with quality either.


Bag:  since purchase, it has been used most days.


Cardigan:  worn approximately 1-2 times a week.  No pilling and has worn well so far.


Jacket:  One of the oldest items today.  Is worn most days in the cooler months.  I have had it cleaned once or twice professionally and it is still going strong!
