merope flamingo dress

the shoulders are nicely fitted, the shape is a flattering a-line. the neckline extends into a v- shape with a 5 cm wide double collar, slightly raised around the back of the neck. contrasting, small vichy check on front and back panels, neckline, hem, and cuffs.


these lovely summer dresses are comfortable and airy, worn open and loose or with a wide sash for a shapelier look.
great combined with my light summer pants or signature skirt underneath for an extravagant party look.

please wash in the machine with 30° and a delicate detergent, tumble only lightly, take the piece out very damp, stretch, put on a hanger, then ironing is not even necessary !

because of the intrinsic and handmade nature of my products, please allow little irregularities, slight overlaps in lines, slight variation in shades- this belongs to and makes these items exude its special charm.

this dress is hand block printed with hand carved wooden blocks. depending on the complexity and colorways of the print , each color requires its own block. during the printing process it is layered on top of one another on five meter long printing tables and length of pre-washed and conditioned runs of cotton cloth in different counts and thicknesses, depending on the product.- when pigments start to accumulate in the carvings of the seasoned, teak blocks, they need to be re-carved and renewed in order not to lose the crispness of the design.
block printing is an ancient craft, not easily sustainable today , for it requires master craftsmen who are dedicated and passionate about their work- its a hugely skilled and labor intensive, manual process. In airy big printing halls the fabrics are printed and under the same roof stitched after my design and specifications. In jaipur, rajasthan, india , my hub and second home and one of the most creative and productive places for the making of textiles and crafts.
because of the intrinsic and handmade nature of my products, please allow little irregularities, slight overlaps in lines, slight variation in shades- this belongs to and makes these items exude the special charm which is theirs.
