This Offering was inspired by the Sabbath Beltane. I'm using the Wheel of the Year as a jumping off point for each offering to honor and deepen our relationship with the seasonal cycles in the Northern hemisphere. Each offering will be available for 1-2 weeks and then will end in time for me to make and ship your garment so that it arrives before that Sabbath. I'm so excited to share a more in depth journey into my life's work as an herbalist, clothing designer, yogini, and environmentalist. It is my hope that through these offering we will connect more deeply with Gaia together.

The Garment Design: The garment design for this offering is the Ritual Aphrodite Kaftan. The Ritual has a v neckline with a thin roll of fabric for adding accent and structure. A Gaia Goddess essential, the Aphrodite is a ceremony worthy choice with a flowy shape that tapers in slightly from wrist to hem.

The quick list of all involved is Mugwort, Goddess Kali, Goddess Durga, Goddess Lakshmi, Organic Cotton, Hemp, Nettles, Tulsi, Lavender, Jasmine, Chamomile, Skullcap, Oak Galls, Reishi, He Shou Wu, Pearl, Tocos, Ashwagandha, Pine Pollen, Astragalus, Flower Essence of Star of Bethlehem, Flower Essence of Rhododendron, Flower Essence of Scleranthus, Flower Essence of Orchid, Indigo, Madder Root, Pomegranate, Water, Fire, Metal(Iron), Air, and Earth. This image is an example of how these energies combine, your Kaftan will be similar, but also unique and One Of A Kind. All Kaftans will be made together in a group and each participant, including you, will be honored and represented during the Ritual of Making.

Ships April 27th: My apologies that garments shipped outside the U.S. may not reach you in time for this specific Solstice. There is a chance it could be held by your countries customs office and I have no way of predicting or controlling if this will happen.

CHOOSING A SIZE

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF 

DESIRED FIT 

SIZE CHART

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction to our Length Charts

We offer a large range of organic fabric options when you're customizing your garment and these fabrics shrink in length differently during the garment dyeing process depending on the design, on the fabric, from one fabric bolt to the next, and the slight temperature differences in each dye bath. All this means predicting and providing an exact length for each garment is nearly impossible so we give approximations. 

HOW TO DETERMINE WHICH LENGTH TO GET

Since each body is so unique, we recommend measuring yourself rather than going solely off of the length name or how the garments look on the models. For example a "Below Knee" garment on one person may be floor length on someone else.

To Determine your length we recommend measuring yourself to your desired length based on below length chart instructions and then best matching that to the length variation that includes your desired length. Keep in mind your garment could be at the shortest or longest length in that approximation so choose the next longest length if the shortest length isn't going to work for you. 

If you prefer an EXACT LENGTH we recommend ordering the next longest version of your style choice and having a local tailor (or most Dry Cleaners) hem to the perfect length once you've had a chance to put it on. We can also accommodate a Special Request for an exact length but this usually adds an extra week to our turnaround time. Please CONTACT US before ordering for instructions on how to Request an exact length.
