This slip on statement piece offers a classic, full silhouette that's perfect for day wear with sandals, or layered with long sleeves or a light jacket on cooler evenings. With cascading diagonal panels of kasuri cotton, dyed to various depths of indigo, this beautifully tailored piece highlights a range of tones unique to each dress. Tapered side panels create a subtle flare from the waist and conceal deep side-inseam pockets, while a crossover neck opening, french seams, and curved rear yoke with facing give structure to the bodice.

Please note that these dresses are pieced from Kasuri fabric dyed to different intensities of indigo, and therefore the colour contrasts are positioned uniquely within each dress.

material : 100% cotton

care :

Unevenness and complexity are a lovely feature of authentic indigo's natural character. Some colour may transfer to lighter surfaces, so take care during the first 5 washes.

We recommend separate cold hand washing for this piece. Do not wring, but press excess water out (or blot by rolling in a flat towel), then hang to air dry in the shade. Iron the reverse with a cool iron if you really want to.

length : 120cm
chest : 108cm

Woven and constructed in Fukuoka since 1971, Kurume Kasuri (aka Giemon) aim to modernise a traditional weaving style which has a history in Japan reaching back over 220 years.

Kasuri (絣) is a process of skilfully binding warp and/or weft threads before they are indigo dyed. Once woven, undyed sections create complex and distinctive patterns, often with soft or 'blurred' edges; the verb kasureru (かすれる) means "to blur" or "to fade".

In 1957, the traditional techniques of Kurume Kasuri were designated an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan, and the company is proud to preserve this beautiful tradition with simple designs for daily use.
