Dyeable - Calico Dress - Handwoven Mulberry Silk

A free spirited, tiered dress with ultimate flow. 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.

Made from hand reeled and handwoven mulberry silk. The stunning natural lustre of this fibre comes to life when coloured with natural dyes. Silk has a luxurious drape and feel that is unlike anything else.

Garments in the Dyeable Collection are made to take on a life of their own, love them naturally as they are or make your own mark. Sewn with cotton thread, they beg to be naturally dyed, eco printed, embellished and personalized. Make your own fit with alterations or add more pockets with our favourite cotton sewing thread.
