Utility Dress

Dresses can be functional too. Noble's Utility Dress is made in Peru with durable yet buttery soft GOTS-certified organic cotton canvas. Featuring oversized sleeves, their signature cinched waist, and a cute oversized skirt. Bonus: giant pockets for all of your stuff. 

Please note: these dresses are garment dyed (reduces waste compared to yarn dyeing!), which causes variations between dye lots. There can be quite a bit of color variation between dresses from different lots. Please email hello@shortwaveastoria.com if you would like a photo of current dresses in our stock.

Machine wash cold and hang dry

Noble grows and processes their organic cotton, mills their fabric, dyes their fabric with low impact dyes, and cuts and sews their garments within a few hours of Lima, Peru to keep their carbon footprint low. Why Lima? Because Peruvian Pima Cotton is drought tolerant and requires 50% less water to grow than most other types of cotton. It is harvested by hand, which allows for a longer staple (the fibers that make up the yarn) and makes the resulting cotton fabric more soft and durable.

Noble is a certified B Corp and their products are certified by the World Fair Trade Organization. Their cotton is USDA Organic and Regenerative Organic Certified and their fabric is GOTS Certified, which aims to ensure supply chain transparency and the fair treatment of all workers involved.
