Classy Pure Cotton Gray Ikkat Dress

What does the zigzag pattern look like?

Fine white zigzag lines run over the whole dress at a small scale, so the overall effect is a soft texture from a distance and a lively Ikkat pattern up close. It is understated enough for daily wear and still clearly handcrafted.

How does the button front change the look?

Buttons run all the way down the front, which gives it the clean lines of a shirt dress. With the A-line shape and midi length, it looks neat for work and relaxed at the weekend. Add a slim belt if you like a more defined waist.

What do I get in the package?

The package contains one dress. It is a single piece in soft cotton with Ikkat work, so you can style it on its own or layer it with a jacket or stole, depending on the day.

Why might the pattern look slightly uneven in places?

This is a handcrafted Ikkat piece, and minor irregularities in the lines are part of how such fabric is made. No two pieces are exactly alike. These small variations are a mark of the handwork, not a flaw, and they are what give the dress its character.

Will the colour match what I see on my screen?

Very closely, though hues can vary slightly from the image because every screen and display shows colour a little differently. Handcrafted fabric can also vary a little between pieces. If you are matching it with a specific jacket or footwear, keep that small margin in mind.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent and wash it separately from other clothes. Dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun, which helps the cotton and the Ikkat colours stay fresh.
