Isadora Cotton Kaftan Dress by Pax Philomena

This unique fabric is created through the ancient dabu method of block printing. In this method fabric begins as white, then a patterned block is dipped in mud and stamped onto the fabric. Next the entire piece is dipped in indigo dye, portions where the mud has been applied will resist color penetration leaving the floral design intact. Pieces are then washed several times to remove excess dyes and mud.  One size with adjustable drawstring waist.

100% cotton, delicate machine wash cold in a lingerie bag to protect tassels or hand wash cold, hang dry. Washing this garment before wearing is recommended in order to prevent indigo dye from rubbing/transferring.

This fabric is block printed by hand creating subtle variations in the pattern.  Each piece is a unique work of art worthy of honor and celebration. Made in India.
