Pure Cotton Ikkat Dress Hot Pink Upto Plus Size

What creates the small pale dashes on this dress?

They come from the ikat process. The cotton yarns are tied and dyed before they go on the loom, and the tied sections resist the dye. When the yarns are woven, those undyed bits line up as small pale dashes with soft, slightly feathered edges, which is how you can tell the pattern is in the thread rather than stamped on top.

How does this dress sit on the body?

It is a fit-and-flare cut. The bodice is buttoned down the front and sits closer to the body, and the skirt opens out below the waist to a midi length. The flare gives you room to walk and sit comfortably, and the buttoned front makes it easy to put on and take off.

Where can I wear this ikat dress?

Kitty parties and weekend brunches are where it shines most, since the pink is cheerful without being loud. It also works as an everyday dress, for office days with a light jacket or flats, and for summer outings and travel, where a light cotton dress is easy to wear.

Is it available in plus sizes?

Yes. This dress is offered in a size range that goes up to plus sizes. Pick your size from the options on this page based on your bust and waist measurement, and if you are between two sizes, the larger one usually feels easier in a fitted bodice.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash it gently in mild detergent and wash it separately from other clothes. Avoid wringing hard; press the water out instead. Dry it in shade, because strong sun can dull hand-dyed colours over time.

Will my dress look exactly like the one pictured?

Very close, but not identical. Because the dashes are formed by hand-tied, hand-dyed yarn, their spacing and edges shift a little from one piece of fabric to the next. Screens also show colours slightly differently. These small variations are part of what makes a handcrafted ikat piece.
