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.
