The Red Dress
<p>I often visit the museum for workshops or exhibitions and was reminded of ‘The Royal School of Needlework — From Crown to Catwalk’ which featured The Red Dress when Erie asked the question.</p>
<p>Inspired by the British artist Kirstie Macleod, the dress started as a project seeking to create a dialogue through embroidery. Its aim is to unite people around the world.</p>
<p>Using millions of embroidery stitches by 372 embroiderers from 50 countries, it is a collaborative project which took fourteen years to complete. Kirstie set out to create an artistic platform for women, many of who are vulnerable and live in poverty, to tell their stories through embroidery.</p>
