 | Artisan-styled clothing for women of all sizes at affordable places? YES! Introducing DAMES… |
I'm proud to introduce the DAMES Dolman Sweater and Dolman Tee Blouse featuring original art by ME--Kris Grover of Luna Fiber Artist Company! The Dolman (meaning bat-wing shape) is a wider top which tapers down to the waist with a front hem well below the belly button and back hem covering the bottom. Both the Dolman Sweater and Dolman Tee Blouse are styled in a beautiful cut and are comfortable, stylish and flattering on women of ALL sizes. ORDER PAGE
The Dolman Sweater is a SUPER soft, light knit fabric which is looser in the overall cut than the blouse and hangs lower over the bottom for a fashionable look with leggings, jeans or dressed up. It’s perfect over a light tee or long sleeve.

If you’ve shopped artist apparel before, you know that the largest “artisan clothing” sizes aren’t really large at all and the costs start at hefty prices! Us “dames” are here to change that! We’re working to create beautiful artisan-styled clothing…at affordable prices!
| The Dolman Tee Blouse, a poly/cotton blend, is loose and light, tapering to a light fit around the waist. It’s perfect over a light tee or cami for dressing up or casual wear. Take me to the order page. |  Kris shows the Dolman Tee Blouse featuring her original art design, Baltimore Oriole. |

So how do we do it? My friend and fellow artist, Shanna, helps me create these beautiful artisan-styled Dolman Sweaters and Dolman Tee Blouses. She print dyes each individual top on a silk-screen press using a permanent dye at her art company, Rural Route 1: Art & Design. Shanna takes great care to position the artwork on each top so the design and flow of the art match up creatively with the hemline and overall shape of the top. The results are beautiful!
So you know, we source the Dolman Sweater and Dolman Tee Blouse from a point-of-manufacturer in China. This is the only location that we're able to find this particular style and the blend we like. We're still researching for American-made options and will let you know of changes.
We're proud of the fact that we're a couple of women-owned companies from Iowa-USA working to make artisan-styled clothing for women--of all sizes--affordable.
