What to know about Christy Dawn
Christy Dawn is a Los Angeles label run by Christy Dawn Baskauskas and Aras Baskauskas, known for vintage-inspired dresses in floral prints, tiered skirts and prairie silhouettes. It began sewing limited, numbered runs from deadstock fabric with garment workers in downtown Los Angeles, then shifted toward regenerative agriculture, growing and processing cotton on farmland around Erode, India. A Land Stewardship Program launched in 2021 lets customers fund the restoration of acreage. The range stays dress-led, extending to jumpsuits, separates, knitwear and children's styles.
How Christy Dawn fits
Overall fit
slightly large
Christy Dawn's vintage-inspired, largely womenswear pieces are widely described as loose and forgiving through the body while being comparatively snug in the bust, shoulders and upper arms, so experience varies by body shape.
Tip: Most shoppers find these run generously through the waist and hips, so consider sizing down if you want less volume — but stay true to size or size up if you're fuller through the bust or shoulders.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeans & denim | mixed | vintage-leaning high-rise cuts in fairly rigid, unwashed cotton | Rigid denim tends to feel tight at first and relax with wear, so avoid sizing up on first impression. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | relaxed, billowy blouse shapes with gathered or puff sleeves | Size down if you prefer a cleaner line, unless you need extra room across the bust or shoulders. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | high-waisted and relaxed through the leg | Take your usual size and plan for a hem if you're under average height. |
