- This Khadi dress is made from 100% pure cotton Khadi fabric and embodies craftsmanship, tradition, and mindful fashion.
- Handspun and handwoven in the Chitradurga district of Karnataka using 32-count double-strand warp and 32-count single-strand weft, the fabric is highly breathable and texturally rich.
- The fabric undergoes mordanting in Harda and ferrous alum, then hand block printing in two designs using Kasim before being over-dyed in pomegranate peel (Anaar) at Melukote.
- Each piece is thoroughly washed post-dyeing, ensuring a supple fall and soft texture that drapes beautifully.
- Designed for versatility, this khadi dress can also be worn as a long kurta, making it a wardrobe essential.
- Expertly cut and stitched in our Bengaluru workshop, this dress is the result of skilled hands preserving traditional techniques and supporting local economies.
Detail: Single piece open collar with slit open, elbow length sleeves, with back yoke, two back waist darts, two side patch pockets, without side slits, with contrast printed facing.
Note: The price mentioned is for the Khadi dress only. Our garments are designed for a relaxed fit. The dress form is 5'11" with a 34.5" bust and is wearing a size S. We recommend a gentle hand wash with mild or no detergent and drying in the shade. Weave, print, and dye variations are inherent in handcrafting, making each piece unique. These are not defects but a testament to the authenticity of handmade textiles.
