Khadi Stardust Wrap Dress - Short Sleeve

Materials: 100% Cotton Country of Origin: India Fabric: Khadi Model Height: 162cm <Size> Shoulder Width: Approx. 37cm Length: Approx. 113cm Sleeve Length: Approx. 22cm Fabric Description This is the most beloved pattern within Khadi's textiles, known as "stardust." It resembles the stars in the night sky. The fabric is printed using a combination of indigo and kashish dyes, employing mud resist dyeing techniques. The dabu print, a traditional Indian textile art, uses a mud-like substance to prevent dye from penetrating certain areas of the fabric. This technique is used here before dyeing the fabric with indigo. This is a wrap dress that can be styled not only as a dress but also as a light outer layer, like a gown, by tying the front strings. It features pockets on both sides. The wrap design and the gathers at the waist enhance feminine charm. For those around 156cm tall, the length falls below the calf. As each piece is hand-dyed by artisans, please understand that the color and pattern may vary from item to item. *Please note that there may be slight variations in weaving and dyeing, characteristic of handmade items. *As natural dyes are used and hand-dyed, the color will fade and develop a unique patina with each wear. We kindly ask for your understanding of these characteristics of hand-dyed fabrics. *To prevent color transfer, we recommend hand washing separately and promptly lightly wringing out the garment before drying it in the shade. *Please use detergents without fluorescent whitening agents. We recommend using a neutral detergent. *The garment may shrink slightly after washing. Please do not use a tumble dryer. *Even when dry, please be mindful of color transfer to lighter-colored clothing or bags.
