Dova Silks is a wearable art boutique located on Vashon Island, Washington.

The shop is where  fashion designer Dorothy Dunnicliff creates her original hand-dyed silk garments. She uses only the finest silk fabrics, including charmeuse, organza and chiffon. Dorothy’s clothing designs are as elegant as they are versatile. All drape beautifully and are comfortable to wear in any kind of weather.

Dova Silks was incorporated in 2001 with founding  partners Dorothy Dunnicliff and Valerie Spear whom the later sadly passed away a few years ago. Now, in collaboration with Sally Shivers, Dorothy continues the creative endeavor of Dova Silks.

Sally Shivers has over 30 years experience in the fashion design and apparel industries. With her attention to detail and construction, she creates elegantly crafted garments fitted to enhance the best in anyone. Having an eye for color, textures, and design, her contribution to this endeavor has further enhanced the quality and beauty of Dova Silks clothing.

Expect to find colors at Dova Silks that you won’t see anywhere else. Dorothy’s and Sally’s design  emphasis is on bold colors, and silk naturally produces vivid colors rarely seen in other fabrics. In addition to immersion dyeing, Dorothy paints the fabric by hand like a French impressionist. Though her techniques are deliberate, the outcomes are often magical.
