The Red Dress: Conversations in Stitch is a powerful tribute to a global embroidery project that brought together 376 artists from 51 countries over 14 years, many of them women who have experienced trauma, hardship, or displacement. Conceived by British artist Kirstie Macleod, The Red Dress became more than a garment; it became a vessel for stories of healing, identity, resilience, and connection, stitched by hand and shared across borders. This beautiful book documents the journey of the dress from its first stitches in 2009 to its ongoing exhibition tour, pairing moving firsthand accounts from embroiderers with reflections from Kirstie and other voices in the wider project. Through personal stories, photographs, and thoughtful essays, it explores how craft can amplify voices, build community, and honor traditionally undervalued labor. You will discover not just the stunning visual impact of the dress, but the emotional and social power behind every thread in this celebration of creativity, courage, and the strength found in stitchcraft!
