There is a very wrinkled mass of silky red rayon in a suitcase in my closet that used to be my favourite pants. They were wrap pants, and their life was long and noble and drawn out until my lady bits were a little too visible through the worn thighs. The one lamentation I had about them was the bulk of their ties on my belly and above my butt. Clearly Andrea of Gaia Conceptions is on the same page as me, and came up with these clever, oh-so-wearable pull-ons.
From how much I adore her business and products, you'd be surprised I have no Gaia Conceptions in my closet. I'm just too queasy about buying clothing I haven't tried on, even if it's custom-made. It's likely these will be my first dip in the water! If you're not familiar, Andrea lives in North Carolina and works a lot with organic cottons that are local to her there. She drafts the patterns for her seasonal collections, cuts em out, sews them up then dyes them by hand. And she is venturing into natural dyeing: other than Maiwa, Gaia Conceptions is my only source for super cool naturally-dyed clothing. (Not to say there isn't more out there - in fact, please pass on any leads you have!) It's all very homegrown and grassroots and wholesome, having begun on Etsy.
Someone's gonna buy these and they're too new to be on her domain shop, so if you want to, just visit her live Etsy shop.
