Beautifully hand embellished sweatshirts in custom colour combinations by dAKOTA rAE dUST . . . did someone say CHRISTMAS JUMPER?!!
Cosy and colourful . . . with as much sparkle and shine as YOU require.
Add POPPING neons, subtle flock or light reflecting, mirrored silver and gold . . . THE CHOICE IS YOURS!
A slim fit, organic cotton SWEATSHIRT in either grey marl OR black, laboriously hand customised with vintage and recycled fabric applique panels, an ornate, costume jewellery inspired print and 2d printed ‘jewels’.
This garment has a slim fit shape and is slightly longer and narrower than the classic fit garment. It has a wide neckline and raglan sleeves. It is cut from 100% organic cotton and produced in a climate neutral factory.
***Please note – This garment has been discontinued by the supplier. I have just one box of blank slim fit sweatshirts so numbers are limited. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. ***
Your embellishment
Select up to THREE print colours. These will be used for the base print, which is pressed direct to the garment, and for the printed, fabric ‘jewels’ which are cut out by hand and stitched onto the garment after to give a textural finish to the embellishment.
Before work begins on your garment you will receive a short consultation via email or text, including a photo of your chosen print colours and proposed patterned fabrics.
A tip on colour combos
I recommend including SOME texture, whether you pick a glitter, mirror OR flock for one of your print colours, adding some surface variety to the printed areas generally looks more pleasing than 2-3 flat colours. Please note – once ordered garment styles and colours are fixed but we will FINALISE your print colour choices at the consultation stage. Please get in touch if you have any questions you might have before ordering
Vintage and secondhand fabric
The vintage and recycled fabrics used in my designs are sourced from local charity shops, Brocantes in France and via kind donations from fellow makers, looking to recycle their unwanted textile offcuts. All fabrics are machine washed before being repurposed.
Each print is decorated with secondhand or vintage fabric applique panels. These are cut out by hand and machine stitched into place. A large and ornate costume jewellery inspired vinyl print is pressed over the applique panels before being further adorned with 2d, vinyl printed, fabric ‘jewels’.
Every garment is embellished to order. There will be a 3 week turn around time on this item.
Please note, I do not accept returns on custom made items.

Caring for your Embellished Sweatshirt
Embellished sweatshirts are machine washable at 30 degrees. In order to keep the textural pieces of your embellishment in good condition a gentle cycle is recommended.
Shake out after washing and allow to dry naturally on a clothes rack or washing line.
Please DO NOT tumble dry or iron directly over the print.

I am so amazed by my embellished sweatshirt! It’s beautiful! I have loved Dakota Rae’s jewellery for a while so having her hand-made designs on a sweatshirt was very exciting! The ordering process was easy and Bec was extremely attentive, great communication. Having choices of colours, embellishments and designs was lush! Would recommend to anyone for a customised, one-of-kind sweatshirt from an amazing indie!
