At Christy Dawn, Mother Earth is our powerful teacher. We look to her for guidance, celebrating the beauty and resilience of nature throughout our entire process. From the start, we aimed to tread lightly, produce sustainably, and honor Mother Earth with every decision we made. Then we evolved. To truly heal, we needed to make a bigger impact. So, we started a regenerative cotton farm in collaboration with our loving partners at Oshadi Collective. Through this process, we came to appreciate that making a significant impact means drawing down carbon, growing biodiversity, and growing relationships!

For our cotton garments, we use cotton from our regenerative farm for our Farm-to-Closet collection. (You will know your garment is from our farm if the tag says “Farm-to-Closet”). We also work with organic cotton that, while not from our farm, meets rigorous earth-friendly and people-friendly standards. Additionally, we utilize leftover fabric (called “deadstock”). If curious about any of these buckets of cotton ask! We’re here to converse.

Our production centers are located in Los Angeles and Mexico, where our garments are stitched with reciprocity. We have partnered with incredible woman-run knitting ateliers in Peru, which are dedicated to giving back to the communities they work with. In India, we are working towards creating a fully regenerative fiber shed in collaboration with Oshadi Collective. Relationships are at the core of everything we do—relationships with people, with Mother Earth, and with ourselves. We cherish our partners, no matter where they are located, and will continue to build loving relationships!

Regardless of where our garments are made, our talented team approaches each seam they sew and knit with care and intention. Speed is the last thing on their minds because we encourage them to take a deep breath, slow down, and create something they are proud of.

Because we use a few different fabric types (Regenerative Cotton, Organic Cotton and Deadstock), dress size may vary from one piece to another! We suggest comparing your personal measurements with the sizing chart on the product page. 

If you’re still not sure about sizing, you can always reach out to our Customer Love team at shop@christydawn.com. Please include your chest, waist and hip measurements with your message and we’ll do our best to assist you!

Because we produce slowly and sustainably, we do not keep back stock of our fabrics since we make them in such a limited supply. If you have your heart set on a specific item, we highly encourage you to sign up for the waitlist on the product page so you can receive a notification once the item is back in stock. Please note, a restock is not guaranteed.

Unfortunately, our team doesn’t have the bandwidth to accept personal requests or perform alterations. For alterations, a trusted tailor in your area should be able to help you!

Depending on the shipping speed you choose, shipping typically takes 2-5 days domestically from the ship date (not the order date). However, shipping carriers can experience unexpected delays outside of our control, so we can’t guarantee delivery timeframes, and can only provide estimates.

For deadstock fabric, we only ever suggest dry clean or eco dry cleaning and unfortunately can’t really recommend other forms of washing. This is because we use repurposed deadstock and as such, we don’t manufacture the fabric ourselves and often can't be 100% sure of the exact fabric content.

For natural, plant dyes and block printed pieces - we recommend hand washing in cold water and air drying in the shade. After washing, do not wring the dress and be mindful that color may transfer during the first few wears and washes!

See our Garment care page for a deep dive into all the ways we recommend caring for your garments.

Due to the limited nature of our pieces, dress wholesale isn’t an option for us at this time.
