The Red Dress

The Red Dress: Conversations in Stitch is the much-anticipated book documenting and celebrating The Red Dress global collaborative embroidery project. Published in May 2025 to coincide with World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, the book further explores and amplifies the narratives stitched into the dress and brings together new voices from the wider project.

Powerful and poignant embroiderer stories sit alongside reflections from key moments in the dress’ incredible journey from its creation 2009-2023 to ongoing exhibition tour. Featuring insights from the dress’ creator Kirstie and further organisations involved, the book also presents specially commissioned essays on themes such as empowerment, healing trauma and building community which The Red Dress opens up for audiences.
