As seen in Vogue, Vogue Business, and Magnifissance.
This is my favorite dress. I wear it year-round -- on its own, with tights, and over leggings on the way to yoga.
While we may live in man-made cities, we can bring the spirit of nature indoors. The soft organic cotton fiber comes straight from the mountains -- pure, undyed, and unadulterated. It is the closest thing to being wrapped in nature all day long.
Dipped in natural indigo and hung in the sun to fade, the blotchy effect is characteristic of the small-batch hand-dye process.
Wearing the airy handwoven fabric allows your skin to breathe, so you feel refreshed and uplifted. Perfect for a calming meditation or hopping around the city.
Embroidered stitching runs down the center front. Hand-sewn French seams follow the curves of the body for a cozy feel. Sewn-in side pockets add extra convenience. The boat-neck can also be worn off-the-shoulder.
A great dress for any occasion.

Each piece was beaten with a wooden mallet to make the fabric extra soft and drapey. It will continue to get softer with each wash.
NATURAL WHITES:
Don't be afraid of wearing off-white. Since no chemicals were used, the fabric retains the natural oils of the cotton plant. Dirt and stains easily roll off when washed, just like a white poodle after a doggie bath.
