Pure Cotton Ikkat Dress Gray Chateau Upto Plus Size

What kind of stripes does this dress have?

Dark, dashed vertical stripes run over a soft grey base. They are ikat, so each stripe is made of short dyed sections in the yarn that line up during weaving, with gently blurred edges. The vertical lines also lengthen the look of the dress.

How does the belt tie work?

It ties at the waist so you can choose a cinched, defined shape or a looser fall. Below the tie the skirt flares to midi length, which keeps it comfortable for a long day at a desk or on your feet.

How can I add colour to a grey dress?

Grey is a calm neutral, so it lets you play with accents. Mustard, red, teal or a bright pink scarf all stand out against it. Oxidised silver jewellery suits the dashed stripes, and white or tan footwear keeps it light.

Where is it made?

It is a pure cotton ikat dress from our Bhagalpur hub. The yarn is tied and dyed before it goes on the loom, which is why the stripes have that slightly uneven, handmade character and differ a little from piece to piece.

How do I care for it?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, keep it separate from other clothes, and dry it in shade. To freshen it before you head out, iron it on the reverse while slightly damp, or give it a quick steam.
