Purpose Handwoven Ikkat Maxi Dress

Regular fit, half sleeve, maxi dress that's smocked and fitted at the waist, crafted in an ikat fabric, the yarns are resist-dyed with azo-free dyes then handwoven to create its pattern. The pattern of this elegant dress is created using a slow craft method called ikkat. The term comes from the Malay-Indonesian word “mengikat”, meaning “to tie”, which describes how this fabric is resist-dyed in specific patterns before they are woven on the loom. When woven, these dyed threads align to form motifs.
