This free spirited design is sewn out of soft organic cotton with sweet gather on each tier to give ultimate flow. The perfect everyday dress that feels so good on the body - with lots of room to dance, run and twirl in. There are two pockets at the sides for keeping the necessities close.
Part of the beauty of Dabu cloth lies in the fact that each block is placed by the artisan’s hand - what is left behind is an imprint of the personality and character of the block printer. Slight variegations are to be celebrated.
