Petal Rain
The Petal Rain smock dress is wood-block printed by hand with a painterly floral design on a traditional Bengali home spun, hand woven, fine weight Wild Tussar Silk Khadi fabric.
 
Sustainable Wild Silk also known as Forest Silk is so named in relation to the natural environment it is reared and crafted in.
The names Eri Silk, Tussar Silk or Matka silk are also used depending on the moth genus.
This Tussar Silk cloth is lightweight, fine and textured.  
It will arrive to you feeling quite starched but softens and drapes beautifully with wear.
 
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.
There are fine gathered pleats at the neck and wrists and it can be worn belted with the fabric tie or worn loose. It is lovely worn on its own, layered or with trousers.
 
The flat measurements of the garment are approximately:                   
Chest 78cm 
Vneck 22cm
Cuff width 14cm
Length 135cm
 
Indian hand-woven, hand block printed fine silk:
  • Hand wash or Dry Clean
  • 100% Silk
  • 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.
