Toyon Antique High Neck Ruffle Dress

Dyed with Toyon, Heteromeles arbutifolia Toyon is a perennial shrub that grows in the chaparral and oak woodland habitats here in the Santa Monica Mountains. Her distinct serrated leaves and bright red berries make her recognizable throughout this coastal mountain landscape.

We have been able to use her bark, leaves and berries to get colors of cream, peachy-orange, and various shades of pink. - 100% antique swissdot cotton - ruffle & lace detail bib - ruffle, lace pleated hem - hand mended - button closure on back Best Fit: Medium - Large Chest: 20" Length: 46" Care Instructions: Due to the nature of plant dyes, color may fade over time.
