  • Ditch the House Dress on Zoom

    Since the pandemic it has been a whole new world. House dresses are oh so comfortable, this is true. Although you are at home, it is important to remember that zoom is indeed a public space. A house dress is typically made for that: the house. While one maybe spending more time at home. It is important to remember that one’s wardrobe must still be ready for the professional, semi professional and public zoom meetings or virtual meetings that have become more popular in place of gathering all in one place. Putting on your best is still important because zoom takes you into a public space and some meeting are recorded. Keep your wardrobe abreast amid the pandemic by shopping our collections today.

  • Fashion Trends vs Style

    Style vs Trend Shidonna Raven Fashion We believe that Coco Chanel in her brilliance chose wisely when she chose style over trends. Coco Chanel remains a powerhouse in the fashion industry to this day after losing Coco herself decades ago. Indeed Coco Chanel’s posterity is the sole women in fashion among the top 20 wealthiest people in the world with good reason. Coco continues to defy norms by being the sole fashion house among almost exclusively tech companies and sheer retailers. At Shidonna Raven we also believe in style. We believe in quality, longevity and timelessness. Our clothing defies time and follows no one. Trends will be set by us but we will never follow trends. Thank you for your loyal patronage.

  • How Long Can Coronavirus Survive on Clothes?

    By Katie McCallum April 14, 2020 Source: Houston Methodist Photo Source: Unsplash, Right now, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic likely has you armed to disinfect every commonly touched surface in your home. You may also be wiping down or sanitizing anything that comes inside, like food , packages and the high-touch items where germs are likely to hide (like your phone, purse, wallet and keys). But what about your clothes? After a trip to the grocery store, is it possible that your clothes are contaminated with coronavirus? Can coronavirus live on your clothes? The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is new, and experts are still learning about how the virus spreads. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) , the most likely way for the virus to spread is through close contact with someone who’s infected (even if they don’t know it). This is why continuing to practice social distancing is so important. However, early laboratory evidence also suggests that coronavirus can survive on plastic and stainless steel surfaces anywhere from hours to a few days. This is why it’s important to wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your face and clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces every day. Unfortunately, the same study didn’t examine how long the virus can survive on fabrics — so it remains a possibility that coronavirus can live on clothes for several hours. Viruses similar to coronavirus don’t survive well on porous surfaces Despite the little information we have about the survivability of coronavirus on your clothes, we do know a few other helpful things. Experts have found that viruses similar to the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 survive best on smooth, hard surfaces — such as door knobs. On the other hand, soft, porous surfaces — such as the sleeves of your shirt — actually limit the likelihood of spreading these viruses for two reasons: These viruses are more likely to get trapped within the fibers and weave of permeable surfaces like fabric, making it less likely for the virus to later transfer to your hand, face or another surface. These viruses are much less infective (potentially non-infective) when dried out, and fabrics are more likely to absorb and suck water away from a virus. And while many news outlets are reporting that coronavirus can survive on shoes, particularly the soles of shoes, keep in mind that the referenced studies examined only the shoes of medical staff who are caring for COVID-19 positive patients in ICUs — and that hospitals are taking extreme precautions to prevent the virus from coming in or out of ICU facilities. The study did not examine the likelihood of finding coronavirus on shoes worn by the general public. When in doubt, do some laundry While the chances of getting COVID-19 via contaminated clothing are likely pretty low, you may still ascribe to the “better safe than sorry” mantra. If you’re worried that your clothes may have been contaminated while at the store or another public space where social distancing is challenging, toss them into the washing machine when you get home. Standard laundry detergents should be sufficient to wash and sanitize your clothes. If you’re taking care of someone who has COVID-19, there are extra precautions the CDC recommends when it comes to handling and washing clothing, including: Wearing gloves while handling a sick person’s laundry, and then washing your hands after removing the gloves Avoiding shaking dirty laundry Using your washing machine’s warmest water setting, when possible Cleaning and disinfecting laundry hampers regularly or using a disposable bag liner In addition, if you rely on a communal space to wash your clothes, such as a laundromat, you may also want to take these extra precautions: Continue to social distance. Make sure you keep six feet between yourself and others, even in that cramped laundry room in your building. Lessen the amount of time you spend there. Consider sorting and folding your clothes at home and avoid hanging out at the laundromat between wash cycles or loads. Carry hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. Before and after touching communal washing machines, sanitize your hands and wipe down handles, buttons and knobs. A quick word on coronavirus and your cloth mask Public health officials are now recommending that healthy people consider wearing a cloth face covering when out in public spaces where social distancing is difficult — including grocery stores and drug stores — especially if you live in an area with community spread. The CDC recommends washing your cloth mask in your washing machine using household laundry detergent regularly, depending on frequency of use. This means that the more often you wear your cloth mask, the more often it should be washed. In addition, if a washing cycle damages or misshapes your cloth mask, it’s time to make a new one.

  • Shidonna Raven’s Sketchbook

    Source: Shidonna Raven Fashion. Copyright. All Rights Reserved. Please contact us for republishing permission and citation formatting. Photo Source: Unsplash, Marin Meyer It is always interesting to see, regardless of the industry, how an idea goes from concept to creation. So, today I am giving our readers a peek into my sketchbook to see how an idea is formulated, executed and developed. Pictured in this article is a drawing from my sketchbook, Shidonna Raven, and a peek into our process. Most often when we are creating a collection or garment we begin with inspiration. When the ideas flow like a rainstorm, we often just sketch out our ideas and may start with inspiration by working backward to explore what the connecting pieces are for each garment. Or we ask, what was the over all inspiration for these? The creative process is a disciplined one coupled with technical skill and mastery. Every piece you see most likely started with a simple sketch like this. Most experienced artists will tell you that Art is about solving problems. Who knew Art could be so controversial. Okay, we know. History is full of controversial pieces of Art, clothing included. So, what does that mean to you as the consumer? What it means is that we think critically about how you will wear your garments and how they can be made so that they become pieces that you have in your wardrobe for some time. Shop our lasting collections today.

  • What is Pima Cotton

    By Amy Ramos June 04, 2018 Source: Authenticity 50 Photo Source: Unsplash, Marianne Krohn We’re all about cotton around here, and for good reason. Breathable, durable, and oh-so cool to the touch, cotton makes for some crisp sheets that we just can’t get enough of. But what about Pima cotton sheets? We make our sheets out of Supima cotton (for a lot of really good reasons), but Pima cotton gets a lot of curiosity. What is Pima Cotton? Pima cotton is a higher-end type of cotton with a longer fiber than conventional cotton. It has a reputation for producing a smooth fabric that’s soft to the touch, wrinkle-resistant, and ultra-durable. For those who like numbers, Pima cotton fibers measure between 1.4 to 2 inches in length, while conventional cotton fibers measure up to 1.1 inches long. Pima cotton fabric comes out softer and more durable than if it were made from a shorter staple cotton. Manufacturers say that Pima cotton has a 50% longer life expectancy than other cotton products. It’s also great for people who have sensitive skin! Staple (length and quality of Pima) Where is Pima Cotton Grown? Pima cotton is primarily grown in three different areas: The southwestern regions of the United States Australia Peru Pima cotton originated in Peru, but it gained its name after the Pima Indians, who helped raise the cotton in the United States. Myth Bust: High Thread Count ≠ Better Quality How to Spot Pima Cotton Unfortunately, the biggest problem with Pima cotton isn’t its quality, it’s that the market has been saturated with a TON of fakes. Similar to the issues with Egyptian cotton (90% of Egyptian cotton is fake), there are many instances in which manufacturers are saying something is Pima cotton, when in reality it’s maybe a 20% Pima cotton blend . You pay a premium price, and you get the short end of the stick — Pima cotton sheets that aren’t really Pima cotton sheets. Why We Love Supima These issues with quality control in Pima cotton sheets are EXACTLY why we love Supima cotton. Supima cotton has a similar quality to Pima cotton, if not better, but it actually gets verified by a third party. What’s even better is that all Supima cotton is grown right here in the US and verified by the Supima Association. This insanely luxe cotton produces a fiber that’s just as soft and durable as Pima cotton, but with no fillers allowed. Supima cotton sheets are crisp, cool, and the most luxe on the market. The result? You get awesome sheets, with none of the finger-crossing, hoping and praying. Have you tried Pima Cotton before? What did you think?

  • Re Think Frugality in Fashion

    Source: Shidonna Raven Fashion. All Rights Reserved. Copyright. Please contact us for republishing permission and citation formatting. Photo Source: Unsplash, Salvador Godoy The interesting fact about haute couture is that everybody wants it. But, the majority of people purchase ready to wear clothing. Even Micheal Kors sales ready to wear clothing along with Channel. However, true haute couture (high culture) is a much more personal and custom experience. Most of the well made brands along with Shidonna Raven are quality clothing. The simple reality about quality is it costs. The materials cost and so does the time. And it is well worth it because most of these pieces are garments you can wear for countless seasons. Unlike ready to wear and brands like H&M that are simply not made to last. The reality is most often that you truly do get what you pay for. While these brands and Shidonna Raven will cost you more in the end you will buy less of them because they will be a part of your wardrobe for several years if not decades. It is time to re think frugality in fashion especially in the midst of COVID 19. Give your money and purchases the longevity they deserve. How do you define frugal? How do you define value? Which one lasts longer? Share your answers with the community by posting them below.

  • Garment Care

    Source: Shidonna Raven Fashion. All Rights Reserved. Copyright. Please contact us for republishing permission and citation formatting Photo Source: Unsplash, Gabrielle Henderson Hi fashionista and those who just love looking amazing. At Shidonna Raven we want you not only to love what you buy but also keep what you love for a long time. We are all about longevity here. With longevity comes good care. Of course, a good dry cleaner is a good idea to have to keep your clothes looking amazing and to partner with you to help care for your clothes so that you can keep them for years to come. Any dry cleaner worth their weight will know how to properly care for your garments or to recommend you to the type of professional who can. Nonetheless, there are some things that you can do also to care for your beloved garments. Today we want to share a care tip with you regarding gum on your garments. There are a few ways to remove gum from your garment. Today we will share with you the 3 ones we think are the most effective: 1 – Ice Cube Rub an ice cube over the gum. This will harden the gum. Once you have the gum nice and hard, use a dull knife to scrape the gum off. Treat the gum, make sure the remover is appropriate to use on your garment, with a stain remover and launder or dry clean. If the garment is not okay to use with your remover and you are going to dry clean it any way, you have mitigated the damage and the dry cleaner should be able to take it from there. 2 – Hair Spray Apply the hair spray to the gum. The gum will harden. Once the gum has hardened remove the gum with a dull knife. As with all fabrics you want to check to make sure it is okay to use on your garment. If you are unsure, the ice cube method is probably a better choice. Checking with your dry cleaner is also a good idea before executing. 3 – Cardboard and Warm Iron Place gum side of garment face down on card board. Run a warm iron over the back of the garment where the gum is. The gum will transfer from the fabric to the card board. You can then lift up the garment and treat with a stain remover for any remaining residue and launder as you normally would. The care tag on our clothing will let you know if it is okay to use an iron or not on your fabric. Of course, make sure the stain remover that you are using is okay for your fabric. If you are unsure and typically dry clean this garment anyway, do not apply the stain remover. Your dry cleaner should be able to care of it from there. How did this article help you? How do you typically care for and maintain your garments? Why? Thank you for choosing Shidonna Raven.
