DETAILS

The Emily is our new elevated go-to. A midi dress designed to be the one you reach for first, it arrives with the kind of character that only comes from fabric made by hand: our original stripe illustration pressed into summer-weight cotton, one wooden block at a time. The fit is polished but relaxed, the length is perfect, and the hidden pockets mean you never have to choose between style and function.

  • 100% Cotton
  • Summer-weight and lined
  • Hand block printed. Original textile illustration
  • Hidden pockets
  • Midi length. Length is 47.5" from shoulder
  • Relaxed fit. If in between sizes, consider sizing down
  • Made fair trade in India by one of our newest production partners
This textile has been printed by hand using traditional techniques. We celebrate the uniqueness, integrity, and character of our handmade pieces. Please allow for variations in pattern and color including shifts in alignment, stray ink, and other nuances that may be different than pictured.
SIZE & FIT

There’s variation between various cuts and styles. Our fit intention is not the same across all styles. Some styles are meant to be oversized, some more form-fitting.

CARE

We officially recommend hand washing our woven cottons to keep the clothes in their best shape, since so many things are handprinted, indigo dyed, hand embroidered, etc.

Some customers may wish to machine wash their dresses – while we still officially recommend hand washing, we know anecdotally that washing with cold water on the delicate cycle with the gentlest of detergents seems to have good results. As does line or flat drying, followed by ironing or steaming (definitely no dryer!)

However, the more handmade details, the more we recommend handwashing.

Our organic jersey knits can be machine washed in cold water on a delicate cycle with gentle detergent.
