How it’s made
The Corset Knit Dress is made in The Netherlands by Demi van Ginkel in our own studio. Everything you see at Midheavens has been made and designed at our studio. From pattern cutting, sample developing to making the final pieces, we can make sure everything is done ethically by controlling it in our studio.
Made to order

Materials and fabrics
The Corset Knit Dress is either made from a rib tricot fabric or a soft knit fabric
Rib Tricot
95% cotton, 5% elastan
Soft Knit
50%VI / 30%PL / 20%PA
These materials were chosen because of the soft, non itchy feel on the skin and their warmth for in the fall and winter. They are soft, stretchy and easy to take care of, making them comfortable to wear for our women with tummy problems.
