Farmer’s Market: Texture Clothing
My bonus mom introduced me to Texture Clothing when she started wearing some fabulous long skirts. Now I’m not a skirt person by nature, but these were the kind of clothes that she could do everything in, so I was definitely curious. My first visit to her booth had me walking away with an earth brown market skirt and green long sleeve top of my own. I’ve been a fan ever since (and of course my guy is a fan since I’ve been wearing skirts). Not only are her clothes made locally, but they use earth-friendly materials, waste little, and have wonderful customer service. So my first day back to the market, and I went straight to her booth.
Before I gush any further about the clothes, there are two reasons this is wedding related. One…Texture Clothing makes up the majority of my wedding coordinating wardrobe. I wear the black comfy skirts and colorful tops to meetings with potential clients, bridal shows, ABC meetings and on the day of the event. (Click on my About page to see proof!)
The second reason is that she has a brand new line of dresses…oh yeah, can you say bridesmaids? I bought one of each color because I’m a sucker for beautiful clothing. But I’m also picky about quality.
She calls them the bottle dress, and they come in dusty blue and dusty yellow. They’re made from a hemp/p.e.t. blend (fabrics that, up until now have always a rough look), have finished seems and are oh so soft. For $98.00 a dress, you can’t be the price, and of course, Teresa does all the alterations.
I’m going to eventually get a wedding gown from her, but I thought these were a lovely addition to her line and a great possibility for weddings.
I contacted her about the possibility of some custom bridesmaid dresses. Thanks for the fantastic find!

October 22nd, 2008 at 9:34 amThanks for this useful blog. I loved the dresses. I think i will choose one of them for my future wedding!
October 28th, 2008 at 8:40 amI think the way people are living or going to live is changing. Cloths which we don’t like a few years ago are in fashion in these days. My wife has a lot of such clothes in these days and am already familiar with few of them. Anyhow this post will help my wife to get some new ideas.
