Ely Blue Dress

Crafted from an ultra-soft silk and cotton blend, this dress showcases a fusion of artisanal techniques, including contemporary hand block printing, delicate embroidery, and appliqué dot detailing. Designed with a relaxed, flowing silhouette, it features long sleeves, a round collar with a single-button front closure. Lightweight and effortlessly graceful, it moves with ease, offering timeless style and all-day comfort. 

This dress is accompanied with a blue cotton voile round neck full slip.

Block printing refers to the printing technique of pressing and stamping fabric with carved wooden blocks filled with color.

The artisans dip the block into the dye, press it firmly onto the fabric, and then hit it with a mallet. This process is repeated over and over again, by only the steadiest hands, until the pattern has completely covered the length of fabric.

It requires precision and time to assure that there are no breaks in the motif. Once the printing is complete and the color has set, the fabric is thoroughly washed and dried.
