FABRIC

Light weight WOVEN fabrics with fluid DRAPE (the fabric falls nicely downward against the body as opposed to voluminous drape which billows out).
We highly recommend rayon, viscose, satin, chiffons & tencel. Silk chiffon, georgette or crepe works beautifully for occasion dressing.

Stay away from stiff tightly woven fabrics that do not drape (like denim, silk taffeta & suitings)

Refer product images for examples of fabric we've used.
Refer last product image for detailed fabric & haberdashery requirements.

DIFFICULTY

INTERMEDIATE

Learn how to sew a concave and convex curve (neck facing) and an innovative technique sewing the armholes.

The neck facing is finished with a curved "stitch-in-the-ditch" which is a llittle fiddly, however, hand sewing this will produce a professional finish and simplify the process.

SIZE & FITTING

The Flow dress & top have excessive ease as part of the core design. If you measure between the sizes on our size chart we recommend you size down.

The most relevant sizing consideration is the underarm. If you are large in the bust but slim in the arms we recommend you grade to a smaller size under the arm.

Our models measure as follows:
Lynley (red & green maxi lengths & top)- size UK/NZ10 (US6) - 179cm tall - A cup
Rachel (blue & white floral maxi)- size UK/NZ14 (US10) - 174cm tall - E cup
Inez (grey circle print maxi) - size UK/NZ22 (US18) - 174cm tall - E cup

A pastoral and prophetic epistle to the Western Church
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I was so glad to read this book! Joash Thomas writes with an accessible blend of humor, vulnerability, and incisive observation as he reminds the Western Church of the inheritance of the saints across time and around the world. With pastoral sensitivity and prophetic courage, Joash brings the global heritage of the Church into the spotlight in a kind, clarifying, and convicting way. The book is structured in three parts: the first clears away some of the roadblocks to considering a justice-oriented lens, the second explores and illuminates the necessary work of decolonizing our doctrine and praxis, and the third invites readers to imagine an alternate path forward. I liked how the book is sprinkled with story-telling—both examples from global church history and story-telling ways churches today are prioritizing justice. I also found his idea for shifting "mission trips" to "vision trips" that see what God is already doing to be very provocative and hopeful. My favorite part of the book was the exposition on the Lord's Prayer. Each chapter ends with reflection questions, making this a great resource for a church small group or book study. *** A few of my favorite quotes: "One of the most beautiful, anti-colonial things about the Table is the way it visibly unifies all of us in Christ, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, gender, or politics. The Table is a rare place on earth where people who have nothing else in common suddenly find themselves reminded of how they hold the most important thing in common with each other, which is being united by the body and blood of Christ. The colonizer's gospel divides to conquer, but the gospel of Christ unites to heal. In a Western church that is highly divided on issues of theology, race, politics, and socioeconomics, the Table can be a physical place of healing and unification. Unless we learn to receive the body of Christ with our enemies at the Table (which requires allowing our theological and political enemies to participate at the Table with us), we will never know what it looks like to become the body of Christ for this broke world in need of healing." pg. 89 "Many Western Christians today are uncomfortable (and in many cases, even made fearful) by the idea of Christians living at peace and in the minority in a highly pluralistic society, even though this has been the reality for the vast majority of non-Western Christians around the world." pg. 109 "When we start prayer acknowledging that we're children of this heavenly Father, we are reminded that we are a part of a cosmic order much bigger than ourselves...When we ask God to give us our daily bread, we are asking God to give ALL his children their daily bread...God still takes the side of people in poverty and oppression because they have no one else who can advocate on their behalf. God's preferential option for the poor is not because of the goodness of people in poverty; it is because of the goodness of God." pg. 137-139 "In situations like this, we must set aside our desire for success (in this case, transforming the entire political climate of a nation) and prioritize faithfulness (doing what we can with what we have), even if this means we have to operate from the margins." pg. 158

Thoughtful, Challenging, Research-Based, and Compelling: Joash P. Thomas' "The Justice of Jesus"
Format: Paperback
I cannot recommend this book enough! Especially for Christian's actively involved in a church community. In The Justice of Jesus, Joash offers a compelling and challenging vision of what authentic, Christ-centered justice truly looks like. What I loved most about this book is how directly Joash engages with the reader to reflect on what justice means, what it looks like, and why that can sometimes be an uncomfortable topic, especially for White, Western Christians like myself; and Joash masterfully addresses the topic in a way that's sensitive yet direct and firm, allowing readers from all backgrounds to thoughtfully consider his argument without feeling targeted or turned off. I also really appreciate the quality of his evidence and argument, especially as it relates to anecdotal experience. He provides countless examples of Church communities engaged in the work of justice Jesus' way. There is so much I wish I could dive deeper into, but one of the key takeaways from this book that I appreciate is that, as hard and uncomfortable it can be to acknowledge, Christian's in the West (especially white) are deeply privileged and carry with them a colonized theology that's more often led to harm, oppression, and violence than it has to love, peace, and brotherhood. We've over emphasized the salvation of souls to the detriment of care for physical bodies, perfectly content to keep people in bondage so long as they say some magic words or profess belief. Joash rightly challenges this, calling on Western Christian's to 1) acknowledge their privilege and history of colonial conquest, 2) hold freedom of the body just as highly as salvation of the soul, 3) prioritize unity as beloved children of God over theological/liturgical differences, and 4) do the hard work necessary to address the harm our past has done (a task for which Joash provides many examples/suggestions) as we move forward as the Body of our Lord. Joash includes thoughtful reflection questions at the end of each chapter, making this the perfect book for a book group or study. I recommended it to the pastor of my church and look forward to engaging with it even more!

Worthwhile read.
Format: Kindle
The first few chapters would perhaps been worth 10 stars the remaining chapters not so much although it was good information. It became a bit monotonous but all in all it’s still a five star book.

Open our eyes
Format: Paperback
I recently finished reading Joash's very insightful, inspirational, and encouraging book.  I hope it is read and implemented far and wide.  His interpretation of Jesus and "the church" is as close to the spirit of Scripture as I can find.  Twenty years ago, I read "Jesus and the Disinherited" by Howard Thurman that led me to places and situations and cultures and events which were not part of my own life's context. It was Jesus' context and I began to understand his lessons through his eyes instead of my own.  Joash, like Howard Thurman, is right - we colonized, Caucasian, Western civilization folks just don't get it.  But we should and we need to. Open your mind to read this book and see things through God's eyes. Thank you Joash!! We should all look for ways to extend this teaching to others. "...thy will be done, on Earth [all of earth and humanity] as it is [and will be] in Heaven.
