Kalamkari Silk-Cotton Nehru Dress | indigo
A simple but sophisticated shirt dress, named for the slim nehru collar. The slightly-fitted silhouette can be worn loose like a tunic, or given further shape with the cloth belt.
- Semi-fitted body & sleeves
- Center front placket with hand beaten brass buttons
- Full length sleeves close with button cuff
- Side seam pockets
- Falls to just below the knee, with side slits and curved hem
- Includes self-fabric sash
- Crafted from a beautiful silk-cotton blend that is both soft and has a very pleasing drape
- 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. 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
