Kalamkari Linen Artist Dress | indigo
Our Artist Dress is my personal favourite style! Cut in a silhouette flattering to a range of shapes and sizes: the flat collar frames the face and semi-fitted dolman sleeves add shape to the over-sized cut. Wear as a dress, or alternatively as a house-coat with the front open. Each piece is unqiue - shade and pattern differ slightly depending on the artisan and weather conditions.
- Wide-cut body with relaxed silhouette & semi-fitted sleeves
- Closes down the center front with hand beaten brass buttons
- Mid-calf length
- Side seam pockets
- Crafted from 40s weight linen; a mid weight and soft cloth with wonderful drape and bounce
- Kalamkari is crafted exclusively from natural dyes, mordants and resists - it’s a living cloth that should be treated with care and may shift shades over time. Every piece is unique. These natural dyes are painted on the cloth by hand by a women’s cooperative, in an extremely laborious process that blends art with nature’s chemistry
- All orders come lovingly packed in recycled silk bags
