The Indigo Weave Smock Dress is made from traditional Indian homespun, hand woven, natural indigo dyed Khadi fabric.
This fabric has been woven and hand dyed by a Fairtrade certified rural Bengali village co-operative exclusively for Poetwear.
Using natural dyes is an important step in the production of our garments as they have a minimal environmental impact. Coming from nature means they are biodegradable and disposing of them does not cause pollution.
This dress will arrive to you flat and crisp. After washing it softens beautifully.
The finely gathered pleats at the neck and wrists make the dress drape elegantly and it can be worn belted with the fabric tie or worn loose, on its own or layered.
The cut of the dress is wide and loose in the traditional artist smock style.
As such there is one free size option available. Fitting UK sizes 6 - 26.
The flat measurements of the garment are approximately:
Chest 78cm
Cuff width 13cm
V neck 22cm
Length 135 cm
Hem width 90cm
Fabric tie 200cm x 5 cm
Indian hand-woven Indigo dye cotton:
- Wash by hand for first wash and to resist colour fade and then 30 degree machine wash
- 100% cotton
- Made in Kolkata India
- Variations/unevenness in the cloth may be viewed as the beautiful traces of the craftsperson's hand and are welcomed by Poetwear as the individual character of each piece.
- The Poetwear label is hand stiched. The workshop asked for this detail as the embroidery is traditionally womans work whereas screenprinting work would go to the men.
