Description: Lovely and easy-to-wear: Deep grey, hand block-printed khadi cotton, knee-length shift dress by Auntie Oti*. Auntie Oti women's size 1, but fits like a 6-8 (small-medium according to Auntie Oti's size guide.) The khadi: fabric woven by hand of hand-spun cotton yarn, and this woven is a nubby, substantial opaque fabric. The dress features a block-printed sunburst motif in a light grey/white, and is adorned with three small silky striped lilac patches (that look like pieces of a necktie) each about an inch wide and the longest 1.5 inches in length--a look that reminds me of the classic Marimekko Iloinen Takki dress. Made in India, the dress features an elasticized boat neckline, long, raglan sleeves with elasticized cuffs, and 2 hidden side pockets. Pullover styling. The dress is in excellent pre-owned condition. Measurements Lying Flat: Shoulder to shoulder (raglan sleeve): 18 inches Shoulder to sleeve edge (raglan sleeve): 21 inches Armpit to armpit: 22 inches Hem width: 27.75 inches Length from top of shoulder to hem: 38 inches *About Auntie Oti from its website: "Auntie Oti started in 2011 with the mission to spotlight traditional “non-designed” everyday Indian items-blankets and shawls, towels and napkins, men’s lungis and women's saris-made from khadi, fabric made from hand-spun yarn by craftspeople in small, government-sponsored weaving groups all across the country. The collection has since grown to include items we design using skills and techniques specific to India such as tie+dye, block printing and indigo dyeing, and incorporating them into simple accessories, bedding, and clothing.Our clothing aspires to be uniform-like: simple, functional and comfortable. Timeless shapes and non-seasonal styles, many of which are available year after year, all using cotton khadi as a base. Explore a tiny slice of India's beauty and love of craftsmanship that has dazzled the world for centuries in our small collection of humble, handmade pieces."
