About reddressembroidery

reddressembroidery

380 Embroiderers. 51 Countries. 14 Years. 1 Dress.

The Red Dress project, conceived by British artist Kirstie Macleod, provides an artistic platform for individuals (majority women) around the world, many of whom are vulnerable and live in poverty, to tell their story through embroidery.

From 2009 to 2023, pieces of the Red Dress travelled the globe being continuously embroidered onto. Constructed out of 87 pieces of burgundy silk dupion, the garment has been worked on by 367 women/girls, 11 men/boys and 2 non-binary artists from 51 countries between 2009 - 2023.

The completed garment is now travelling to various museums and event spaces around the world, sharing its message of unity, peace, love and cross cultural collaboration.
