I bought this lovely fresh cotton fabric from a fair trade organisation in the town of Bagru in Rajasthan, India. Almost the whole town is involved in block printing fabrics. The rich red ochre colour is derived from natural madder dye.

The dress has a relaxed cut which skims the waist and midriff and then falls in gentle gathers to the hem. It sports two roomy patch pockets.
This is an easy to wear, cool comfortable cotton dress, from fantastic artisan made hand printed fabric.
I try to craft my garments as well as the fabric artisans do the fabrics, using French seams where possible so that your purchase will stay around for many seasons of happy wear.
This is a medium size that will fit many.
There is a matching mask because it's important to be stylish and coordinated in a pandemic.
