Penpensou Cache-Coeur Long Sleeve Dress

Material: 100% cotton Country of Origin: India Fabric: Machine woven Model height: 162cm <Size> Fabric description Landscape with pempens I designed a textile from a plant called shepherd's purse or 'penpensou'. In Japan, this plant can be seen in the spring, and if you look closely at the shape of its leaves, you'll see that they are heart-shaped. When the warm spring season arrives and you find 'penpensou' in the green grasslands, it makes me very happy. I have long wanted to design this scene someday. The name "Penpen-gusa" comes from the sound it makes when you rub and shake the plant between your palms in Japan. When I was a child, I often played with it by saying "Penpen." It is dyed indigo using a mud-resistant dyeing technique called dabu print, a type of Indian chintz that uses a mud-like substance to print on the fabric so that the color does not stain it. This cache-coeur dress can be worn as a dress, or tied in front and worn as a gown to add to your outfit. There are pockets on both sides. The cache-coeur design and gathered waist accentuate your femininity. For someone around 156cm tall, the length will reach just below the calf.
