Our Ikat Dress pays homage to the art of Uzbek ikat weaving in Margilan, Uzbekistan. The dress body is made of upcycled cotton, while the pleated stole is made of handwoven ikat. It features side pockets, a discrete v-neck, a concealed zip on the side.

In the ikat making process, the threads are meticulous marked according to pre-set patterns. The different sections are then tie-dyed. According to the complexity of the pattern and the number of colours, the tie-dye process is repeated several times. The threads are then handwoven on a four or six-shaft treadle loom. The fabrics irregularities reflect the handmade nature of the entire process and are part of the textile’s beauty. Click here to find out more about how ikat is made.
