About Fever Dream
Made slowly.
Worn often.
Fever Dream is an independent Canadian clothing brand built around a simple idea: getting dressed should feel easy without feeling predictable.
We create comfortable, interesting clothing using natural fibres and produce it in small batches here in Canada. Pieces with personality that fit into real life and deserve to stay in your wardrobe for years to come.

WHY 'FEVER DREAM'
Fever Dream is about choosing creativity over convention and having the courage to follow an idea, even when it feels a little impossible. It is clothing for real life, but never boring. Thoughtfully designed pieces that feel easy to wear, express a little personality and make getting dressed more fun. Because sometimes the ideas that feel the least practical are the ones most worth pursuing.
ETHICALLY MADE
CRAFTED IN CANADA
Every Fever Dream garment is made in Scarborough, Ontario by the team at CRW Design, a female-founded and led production company run by Sherri and Nikki.
I first began working with CRW in 2017, long before Fever Dream existed. Over the past nine years, I have visited the factory countless times, watched the team at work and gotten to know the people behind the production.
Making our clothing in Canada contributes to our local economy, but that is only part of why this relationship matters to me. I want to know who makes our clothing and feel confident that the people doing the work are seen, appreciated and valued.
When I decided to build another clothing brand, I knew exactly who I wanted to work with. CRW is not simply where Fever Dream clothing is manufactured. They are an important part of how it comes to life.
EVERY THREAD COUNTS
GOOD CLOTHES START WITH GOOD FABRIC.
Before an idea becomes a garment, it starts with fabric. How it feels, how it moves and whether it makes you want to wear it again and again.
For this first collection, I was drawn to natural fibres like organic cotton, linen and hemp. But who I sourced them from mattered too.
Gordon Fabrics is a Canadian, family-owned company founded in 1959 and now led by third-generation president, co-owner and head buyer Sally Gordon. Predominantly run by women, the company works with a small group of trusted suppliers who commit to fundamental labour principles through Gordon’s Transparency Pledge.
Not every fabric carries every certification, so I would rather tell you exactly what each piece is made from and where it comes from than make broad claims about sustainability.
WHAT MATTERS TO US
GOOD PEOPLE. THOUGHTFUL CHOICES.
Fever Dream is built around a few things that matter deeply to me: making clothing thoughtfully, building honest relationships and working with people who are seen, appreciated and valued.
I care about where our clothing is made, who makes it and the materials we use. I want to make decisions based on more than what is fastest or cheapest, even when the better choice is not always the easiest one.
I will not always get everything perfect. There will be complicated decisions, plenty of learning and times when I may need to do things differently. What I can promise is transparency about the choices I make and a genuine commitment to keep learning and doing better along the way.

A Note from
elizabeth
Life is too short not to create. It is also too short to wear clothes that do not make you feel like yourself.
I have always been happiest when I am building something, solving a problem or turning an idea into something real. Fever Dream began with the pieces I could not find: clothing that felt comfortable and easy, had a little personality and aligned with the way I wanted to buy and wear clothes.
And if I look vaguely familiar, you may know me from Wooly Doodle, the Canadian clothing brand I founded in 2017 and sold in 2023. Fever Dream may be new, but it is being built on years of experience, plenty of lessons learned and a much clearer understanding of the kind of brand I want to create this time around.
I want to make pieces that fill a genuine gap in your wardrobe. The ones you reach for without thinking because they feel good, work with your life and still make getting dressed a little more fun.
Thank you for being here, supporting Canadian-made clothing and following along as I build this one idea at a time.
