WEARABLE ART SHOW and Pet Adoption to benefit Established in 1994, Crescent Moon Clothing has grown from a hand-painted t-shirt line to a full line of ready to wear women's clothing. After graduating with a Degree of Fine Arts from Stockton State College, New Jersey, Gretchen had various jobs ranging from a pictures framer to delivering pizza. It wasn't until she was introduced to the art of batik that Gretchen found a passion for textiles, garment dyeing, and design. She creatd a line of hand-painted batik t-shirts which sold very well at small craft fairs and festivals. When her sisters started having babies, she brought kids clothes to the line. When her mother, an elementary school teacher, asked her to design a dress for her....Crescent Moon Clothing was born. Named after the favorite batik image that she created..."Crescent Moon Clothing" sounded perfect. The batik turned into block-prints of images Gretchen carved from linoleum blocks. Now the line is made up of combinations of textured fabrics like chenille, boucle, and eyelet. Whenever possible she uses 100% cotton and natural fiber fabrics. Through the years Crescent Moon Clothing has seen many changes. In Gretchen's mind change is good, so she keeps looking for new fun fabrics, trims, and buttons. She also keeps a notebook at hand to sketch out new designs and ideas. Gretchen grows as the line grows, ever changing her colors, fabrics, and designs. You'll always find something new at Crescent Moon. Crescent Moon Clothing has a motto...."the clothes we love to live in." From school teachers to stay at home moms, Gretchen has a following of loyal customers that truly live in her clothes because of their comfort, ease and versatility. It is a functional, yet funky line that can be characterized as art to wear for everyday. All of the garments are made in the USA as well as most of the fabrics that create them. The clothing is garment dyed for extreme softness and will not shrink when washed and dryed. The outerwear is made from Malden Mills Polartec fleece and as well can be washed and dried by machine. Thank you for your interest and support of my world and welcome to Crescent Moon.
