Our story began with a thoughtful and beloved gift.

Founder, Andrea Bywater, was pregnant with a little girl when she received a dress from her Mother. This, however, was no ordinary dress. The delicate, vintage garment was in fact Andrea’s very first dress worn to a birthday celebration at one month old. By treasuring this cherished dress, and then passing down to
her daughter, it has become an heirloom.

Touched by this sentiment, Andrea realised how much meaning could be held within one tiny dress — how it could embody cherished memories and become somewhat of a time capsule. When she wasn’t able to find any local brands up to par, Andrea began creating dresses for her own daughter. These designs became the foundation for Lace and Lamb.
