Maru Dress Small Check Indigo

Materials: 100% Cotton Country of Origin: India Fabric: Machine Woven Model Height: 162cm <Size> Shoulder Width: Approx. 112cm Length: Approx. 113cm Sleeve Opening: Approx. 18cm Textile Fabric A classic check pattern. Check patterns have always been a beloved design, transcending time. When checks are printed using block printing, the slight shifts from the block application reveal the handcrafted nature, conveying the warmth of human touch. This piece is dyed with indigo using the dub print technique. It resembles a common front-button dress, but the gathers at the shoulders and the generous use of fabric create a silhouette that appears streamlined. With no seam at the sleeves, this is recommended for those who are conscious of their arm size or wish to layer clothing underneath. The ribbon can be tied at the front, side, or back, or you can wear it loosely without the ribbon. Pockets are located on both sides. On a 156cm frame, it falls slightly above the calf. Please note that as each item is hand-dyed by artisans, the color and pattern may vary from piece to piece. *Please be aware that there may be slight variations in weaving and dyeing, characteristic of handmade items. *As natural dyes are used and hand-dyed, the color will fade and develop character with each wear. We ask for your understanding of these characteristics of hand-dyed fabrics. *As color may transfer, we strongly recommend hand washing separately and promptly lightly wringing out before drying in the shade. *Please use a detergent free of fluorescent brighteners. We recommend using a neutral detergent. *The garment may shrink slightly after washing. Please do not use a tumble dryer. *Please be cautious of color transfer to lighter colored clothing or bags, even when dry.
