The best pop-over-your-head, easy wearing dress. 

Perfectly twirl-able and meant for dancing, this dress will be your best friend this summer. Deep armholes and a drop shoulder make this dress breezy, comfortable and fun - pop it over your bathing suit at the beach or grab your basket and hat and head to the market. Great for layering, and super cute with jeans. Pump it up with some colourful accessories or wear it with neutrals for a subtle earthy look. 

Made from lightweight handwoven muslin from West Bengal.

Hand-dyed in a top down gradient by our natural dye partners in Madkhol, Maharashtra.

*All of our products are limited edition, and are custom dyed, woven and stitched by hand in micro batches. 


STORY

One of the first dresses we designed -- literally meant to pop on and get you dancing.

The idea to dip dye it in a neutral shade (instead of the brights that are often used) came from our experiments with dyeing many of our original samples with tea. The earthy tones and the natural undyed cotton fabric at the bottom of the dress tells the colour story of a cotton boll - the portion of a cotton plant that produces the fibre, which is then plucked and processed into yarn, which serve as the colour inspiration for the neutral palette used in our debut collection.
