Our pricing
Above you will see the Precious Gift Price (subsidised by the sale of the Precious Coats), and the Precious True Price, which reflects the true cost of making each garment. All we ask of you is that you pay what you can afford. If you genuinely want to change your fashion consumption habits, buy better and less frequently, but if price is a real barrier, then pay the subsidised Precious Gift Price. If you have a bit more disposable income and can pay the full Precious True Price, then we would be so grateful.

Pinafores have a wonderful history, being the ultimate utilitarian garment. Precious pinafores are styled to fit and flatter all figure types, coming in combination sizes which cover a wide range.
Your pinafore drops over your head with a rounded neckline. The fit has plenty of ease, with curved seam lines placed to flatter the figure, and the skirt is designed to accommodate a wide variety of hip and thigh shapes and sizes. The hem line is on the knee, the most flattering and fashion-proof length, with the seams running into the deep hem allowance, shaped to allow for plenty of lengthening or shortening.
There is a front pocket with a stitching line to keep your phone held towards the front of your body, to stop it from flopping around inside the pocket. If you don't like this feature then you can just pop out the stitching. The pockets are also set rather high to discourage you from slouching around with your hands in your pockets - you'll just knock your pinny out of shape, and your posture!
You can throw it on over anything: jeans; a skirt; shorts; leggings; a shirt; a bra; nothing! It’s fully lined so it drapes beautifully. It’s there to dress up your 'otherwear' and make you feel good.
The pinafore is made from ‘Eske’ - Blue & Black Herringbone, Flecked Donegal Tweed, manufactured using 100% Pure New Wool. It incorporates a flecked yarn which results in a wide colour palette so you can style it with most other colours. We’ve gone for a dark, consistently stylish, navy base with a multicoloured collection of flecks in a herringbone weave. The result is a fabric which doesn’t shout too loud but which gives a solid sense of style: a style statement for the entire outfit.
The pinafore is fully lined with TENCEL known for its softness, durability, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties.
Fabric & Lining
Fabric & Lining
Fabric - Eske - Navy & Blue Herringbone, Flecked Donegal Tweed from Magees, Donegal, Ireland.
Lining - Monte 100% TENCEL twill, made in Korea. Tencel (TM) is a sustainable, soft fibre derived from wood pulp, typically from eucalyptus trees. It's a semi-synthetic fabric made using a closed-loop process that minimizes environmental impact. Tencel is known for its softness, durability, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. Our Tencel linings are sourced from Fabric Merchants in Auckland from their range of deadstock fabrics, sourced from Korea so the colour may vary with each production run.
Fit

This garment uses the bust/chest measurement for sizing. Measure your bust around the widest point, under your armpits, and find your size on the table below.
This pinafore is designed to fit the shoulder and bust and to flatter the lower body, you can find actual garment measurements in the table below. It pops on over your head without any fastenings, so perhaps do your hair and makeup after you’ve put it on.
This is a loose fitting garment so it has a wider graded size gap, resulting in a large range of sizes.
Please note that while we do our best to control all measurements, the fabrication and individual construction of each garment means that minor variances to the measurements listed above can occur.
