TALITHA MIDI DRESS
Organic cotton ochre
Talitha - Rebel Button-Down Midi Dress with Pockets
Meet the Talitha Side Button-Down Dress: where circular fashion takes centre stage, and ordinary is left in the dust. Handmade in Brixton from dead-stock in 70s inspired dusted ochre organic twill cotton. We find the fabrics the fashion world forgot and turn them into something unforgettable.
Each button is hand-covered, hand-stitched, and crafted with care by local women who turn sewing into their superpower. Limited-edition doesn’t even begin to cover it. We had just enough fabric to make a few dresses. When it’s gone, it’s gone for good. So, if you’re tired of blending in, here’s your shot to stand out. One dress. You and three other women. Zero repeats. This is fashion with a conscience and a whole lot of edge.

I’m made from fabric the world forgot, deadstock organic cotton and linen left behind in dusty corners. At No More Nobody, we call it forgotten fabric. It’s breathable, can be worn any time of the year, and unapologetically timeless.
We don’t do trends. We don’t do seasons. We do fashion that refuses to be rushed.
Every piece is made to last, in small batches, by our lovely friends in South London. Designed to be reworn, repaired, repurposed. Because fast is boring. And waste? Not our thing.
How to Care (Because She Deserves It)
You’re here because you care, about the planet, about slow fashion, about wearing something that actually means something. So here’s how to treat your No More Nobody garment with the respect it deserves.
Let’s start with the basics. She’s made from 100% organic linen (or cotton) no plastic blends, no itchy nonsense, no toxic dyes. Just soft, breathable, skin-loving fabric that’ll age better than most fast fashion friendships.
Washing:
Dry clean or hand wash if you can. If you must use a machine, keep it on a delicate cycle, 30°C max. No tumble dryers, not just because they’re brutal on your clothes, but also because they’re environmental chaos. Air dry, always. She likes a breeze, not a burn.
Wearing:
Organic material such as linen and cotton don't need constant washing. It breathes with you. Sweat doesn’t stick. Smells don’t cling. So wear it. Rewear it. Then wear it again.
End of life? Not really.
When you’re done, if that day ever comes, know this: no mixed fibres, no landfill destiny. Just pure organic material, ready to be recycled into something else beautiful. That’s circular fashion. That’s No More Nobody.

Wrapped in recycled tissue paper, packed in a sturdy brown paper bag. No plastic. No excess. No unnecessary layers just to impress for five seconds before it all hits the bin.
All packaging is recycled and fully recyclable and there’s not much of it. Just enough to protect your clothes in transit. Because all you really need is the garment. The rest? Irrelevant.
Why create waste for the sake of aesthetics? We don’t.

We produce in small batches only, ensuring we never create unnecessary stock or waste. Even our fabric cut-offs are transformed into accessories like scrunchies and pouch bags, nothing goes unused. For us, that’s what true sustainability looks like: thoughtful choices, responsible production, and beautiful pieces with purpose.
