Sobremesa Cotton Ikat Dress | Bright Blue

Our dress is crafted from hand-dyed and handwoven cotton ikat by artisans in India. Cut to an easy shape which is defined by drawcords at the front and back of the waist. The cotton yarns are carefully bound and dyed to create the pattern, then hand-woven to create a soft fabric.
