About Haus Dahlia
Haus Dahlia is a sustainable size inclusive fashion brand, exploring the connection between historical and modern fashion. Haus Dahlia plays with the idea of the shared female and queer experience. Making handmade garments such corsets, that have touched the lives of many through history, to pay homage to traditional sewing skills. As well as ideas of liberation, romance and education.
Founded by Emma Webster, proud alumni of London College of Fashion, Haus Dahlia is focused on sustainable creations. Every piece is made from sustainable or deadstock materials, mindfully chosen from local textile businesses in London. Ethically made by Emma, each garment is also meticulously designed with plus size bodies in mind. Being plus size herself Emma understands the importance of size inclusivity in the industry, and is proud to advocate for more representation across the whole.
Haus Dahlia is also proud to be a supporter of garment worker rights, anti-fast fashion, and a safe space for women and the LGBTQ+ community to celebrate fun and interesting fashion.

Areas For Development:
Haus Dahlia is a small but wonderfully intentional brand, all made to order. Areas of improvement however would be:
- Easily accessible information (at all times) on the website.
- More information on care and repair of garments and end-of-life/recycling.
- Aligning core activities with the Sustainable Development Goals would help with impact reporting in the future.
