Samira Tunic Dress in Potai
DETAILS
The Samira tunic dress has soft gathers and billowy sleeves to push up for volume or pulled down for less. Its standing collar frames the neckline for buttoning up or leaving open. Style as you please –– push up the elasticized sleeves for more volume or pull down for less and wear loose or belt.
MATERIALS
Handwoven on a traditional foot pedal loom that creates a unique and unmatched texture from its hand-spun yarns.
Its unique 'Potai' pattern is achieved using a technique that results in a brushed marble-like print. A paste is made of pomegranate peel, turmeric and sesame oil. The artisan applies the paste on the cloth using a piece of woven cloth using broad strokes. When the application is complete, the fabric is then dried and dipped in a solution to set the dye.
