Smock TREE (Out of Stock)

$225.00

The Smock, with its delicate triple collar, is simple, elegant and light. One button and you are ready to go. In front, your silhouette can be seen through the printed scrim of black (coal) brush strokes and resisted moons; a mysterious vision in the deep forest. On the back, a tree is printed with the sun (a heart dot) among its branches. As the smock swings, the pleat responds and the tree is animated.

Underneath, wear tight comfortable clothing to provide shape for this portal into your inner landscape. Sleeveless in summer or long sleeves with leather high boots in winter, the Smock is ready for any season.

The Smock, with its delicate triple collar, is simple, elegant and light. One button and you are ready to go. In front, your silhouette can be seen through the printed scrim of black (coal) brush strokes and resisted moons; a mysterious vision in the deep forest. On the back, a tree is printed with the sun (a heart dot) among its branches. As the smock swings, the pleat responds and the tree is animated.

Underneath, wear tight comfortable clothing to provide shape for this portal into your inner landscape. Sleeveless in summer or long sleeves with leather high boots in winter, the Smock is ready for any season.

The Smock is sewn first . As a blank canvas, it is laid upon the tree and sun, the pleat tracking the tree trunk. The painting is pinned in place and covered with the ‘star’ stroke painting in black (coal)/ clear dots.

Heat set, the pleat becomes permanent, the sun travels through your heart to the front and is reflected through a ‘moon’. Echoes of the tree and star are transferred in the heat process and provide depth to both landscapes.

The final element in the Smock sculpture is you. The design comes alive only when worn.

Polyester, upcycled material, wash, dry, no iron. Made in Vancouver, printed in Powell River

1. Pick your Style from the tabs above

2. Measure yourself

Dahlia Drive’s sizing is based on my shape and because I am the center of my universe (as Aphrodite was of hers), I am a Medium (even though, according to the Marilyn Monroe world of sizing I am a small, the Penthouse world of sizing I am a 0 and the Asian metric of sizing I am an extra large). So if you find comfort in thinking you know your size, stop now and get a tape measure *.

As Aphrodite so beautifully demonstrates (she has invisible servants because she is a goddess):

  • Measure around your back and chest (including your breasts) for the CHEST measurement
  • Measure your rib cage right under your breasts for the RIBCAGE measurement
  • Measure your hips at their widest for the HIPS measurement

Note: it is vital you do not take what you discover personally. It is just a number.

3. Find your Size on the Style Guide!

Then click your heels together and repeat after me, “There is no place like me”, “There is no place like me” . Voila! You have arrived home in your perfect body!

4. Order your size!

* (if you do not have a measuring tape, find a yardstick or 12″ ruler and measure off a 60″ piece of yarn or shoelace liquorish or toilet paper. Use this length to loop around your body at the designated spot for your style and mark the join with a knot or paper clip. Measure the distance from end to knot against the inches of your ruler or yardstick.)

When it came to sizing her clothes, Aphrodite had it easy: “One goddess length of silk wrapped around my hips please!”.
