ElroyRaw Silk Dress
Submitted by: Leigh

Strapless dress with side pockets made from raw silk. Raw, wild silk lets the silkworm live out its full life cycle. It is raised and processed differently than commercial silk. Rather than being boiled and killed in their cocoons in the conventional manner, the moths are allowed to emerge from their cocoons to live out their full life cycle. The production of wild silk involves venturing into the wild to gather cocoons that moths have naturally left behind. The silk is degummed and spun like other fiber, instead of being reeled. The results are the same, if not better. The yarn is flexible, soft, and airy.

Elroy uses only certified organic or sustainable fabrics. Through sewing cooperatives, Elroy is creating sustainable employment for local artisans in Indonesia.
