Meet the Bestselling "Demeter": a sultry and fun one-shoulder top with a hand-braided rope adorning the neckline. Shown here with a myriad of Kaia Gee Goddesswear Pants, and made to order, just for you, in your size and choice of color. The Demeter Braided One-Shoulder Top is a gorgeous display of feminine power. The swell of your exposed shoulder claims your place in any room, and the hand-plaited and intricately sewn braid asserts your ascension into Goddesshood. As this top is designed to mold to your shape exquisitely, if you have a large bust, or are in-between sizes, you may wish to go up one size. This top is designed to be slightly cropped to hit a couple inches below the high rise of your Kaia Gee pants beautifully. This top pairs gorgeously with the Freya Wide-Leg Goddess Pant as shown in the Black and Ivory variants in the photo gallery, and is a stunning compliment to the Aphrodite Goddess Pant for those who, like me, can't get enough of these hand-braided elements. The Inspiration: Demeter is the Goddess of Agriculture and Mystery. Her name means "doorway of the mysterious feminine." She helps bring light into darkness, and represents moving through challenging times and emotions, using the depth of our feelings as a vehicle back into wholeness. Why Bamboo? I chose bamboo for its excellent breathability and sustainability. Honestly, I won't wear anything else these days. Because bamboo grows so quickly and easily, its impact on the environment is minuscule in comparison to other textiles. It's also anti-microbial and temperature regulating, meaning it can be worn through all seasons. (Though perhaps not for a deep-winter hike.) It also feels decadently soft, and hugs you in all the right places. Why Only Custom-Made? All Kaia Gee clothing is created for you, to fit your exact proportions. Why? Because if it fits you beautifully, you will feel even more like the powerful Goddess you are. Tops are typically more universal, and often do not need as many adjustments, however, if you are shorter than 5'0, or taller than 5'8, we will need to adjust the rise of the waist to nip in at the right place. How Do I Get You My Measurements? I ask that you kindly put your measurements in the notes at checkout. I'll need to know your Bust, Waist, and Height. There's a handy measuring graphic in the photo gallery to help you measure yourself accurately. What Colors Do You Have? I currently have six colors to choose from. In 95% Bamboo and 5% Spandex: Black, Ivory, Forest Green. These colors are silkier and slinkier. They work especially beautifully for the Demeter Braided One-Shoulder Top. In 66% Bamboo, 28% Organic Cotton, and 6% Spandex: Terra Cotta, Dusky Lavender, and Violet. These colors have a bit more body, and a cozier softness, due to the addition of Organic Cotton. They also work beautifully for the Demeter. When Will My Top Arrive? At this time, the estimated ship date for your Custom Goddesswear is 4-6 weeks. Art takes time, and I often have to create new pattern pieces to match an individual's body. I'm so grateful for your patience. This is slow fashion at its finest. *Update: My Black, Ivory, and Forest Green fabrics have already Sold Out, and are back-ordered. Please allow 8 weeks for the creation of Goddesswear in these colors. How Do I Care for My Custom Goddesswear? Machine wash cold on delicate cycle, and lay flat to dry so your Goddesswear retains the memory and custom fit of your figure. Heat from dryers, while oh-so-convenient, breaks down the integrity of the natural stretch in any fabric, so that they disintegrate much faster. Laying flat to dry takes a little extra intention and time, but it's worth it to preserve your custom garment. Do You Accept Returns? Every garment is made specifically for you, and I often create individual patterns specifically for you, based on your measurements. Therefore, there are no returns on Custom Goddesswear, but I do my utmost to help you order with confidence by providing you with the most comprehensive measuring system I can, as well as a plethora of inspiration images. Is There A Way to See the Fabrics in Person? Yes! For those of you who, like me, are a tactile person, I've created a Goddess Starter Kit you can purchase. Inside you'll receive fabric samples of my current colors, as well as a fabric measuring tape for taking your measurements with ease, flyers with my measurement guide, and a coupon for free shipping off your first order of Kaia Gee Goddesswear.
