Eat my shwartz!

IT'S FINALLY SHWARTZ SEASON! Ahem...I mean shorts!
Now that summer is starting to rear it's hot little head here in Vancouver, BC I must say I am thrilled at the idea of being able to shed leggings for a few months...especially considering how pale my sun striken gams are of late...yeesh

To celebrate, Adhesif Clothing has just finished a batch of lovely pale dusty rose "Flora Shorts" made from a reclaimed, drape, printed rayon. The nice thing with this neutral color is that it can go with earth tones or grey and black very easily. Over tights and boots and a little fitted blazer and voila! A great transitional piece for cooler autumn months...

 

 

What's this you say?? You prefer a boost of color ?? Not to fret we have made the "Flora Shorts" in many other delectable color combinations!

The "Flora Shorts" come in small, medium and large sizes and can be found on-line at our Etsy shop (which also has complete measurements of each size posted)

The "Lily Dress" from Adhesif's Spring 2011 Collection

This popular and oh so lovely one of a kind "Lily Dress" is part of our Spring-Summer 2011 collection.
This dress design is the perfect "transitional" frock as it is made from a cotton twill and is perfect for layering.

 

This dress can easily be worn from a warmer season into cooler months, when layered with tights, a fitted blazer and some vintage granny boots. 

The body, contrast and pocket lining are made from vintage and reclaimed printed cotton and the sweet pleated detail is also a reclaimed cotton.

 

This design has side pockets and it comes with it's own wrap belt. Perhaps put a twist on the design by throwing on a vintage wrap belt of your own.

The waist is elasticized so the dress is super comfortable and relaxed but still fitted so it's very flattering in the right places.

Being that every piece we create is one of a kind and thus retains a personality all it's own, we have a variety of fun & quirky combinations as well as more subtle & pretty combo's like the below for example...

The coveted "Lily Dress" comes in s/m (sizes 4-8) and m/l (sizes 10-12) and can be found at our flagship location (2202 Main Street at 6th Ave) or visit our "Etsy" shop page for more info!
