I am Helen and I was made using a duvet cover from what was the amazing Enigma Salvage secondhand shop of treasures. I've got lovely blue trim and am reversible!
Inspired by a vintage dress of my lovely Nana, Beverly, Helen has is perfect for a summer picnic. Covered in a gorgeous checked flower pattern, she can be worn showing off a larger or smaller print. I create based on what I can get my hands on and the nature of using remnants often means you only have enough for one dress. . This dress is part of the Enigma Collection and holds a special place as Vanessa used to always let me know when fabric in the way of duvets, tablecloths, curtains or remnants would make their way to Enigma Salvage.

Reversible Helen Beverly Dress
All Beverly Tops and Dresses for women are made with french seams giving them durability.
If possible, get a soft measuring tape and just measure your chest under your arms. For length measure from your shoulder to make sure you'll be happy with where your top or dress sits.
These dresses and tops are loose fitting so they cover a range of sizes.
Always happy to work with you to make a piece just you if you have an old duvet or tablecloth that you like the pattern of or maybe you've got some fabric that you haven't used.
Wash me less and when you do give me a cold wash and pop me out on the line. All Beverly Tops and Dresses have been pre-washed and line dried. Happy to say most didn't even need a press afterwards.
