In this method fabric begins as white, then a patterned block is dipped in mud and stamped onto the fabric. Next the entire piece is dipped in indigo dye, portions where the mud has been applied will resist color penetration leaving the floral design intact. Pieces are then washed several times to remove excess dyes and mud.  100% cotton Machine wash cold delicate, hang dry. Made in India *This fabric is block printed by hand creating subtle variations in the pattern.  Each piece is a unique work of art worthy of honor and celebration. Washing this garment before wearing is recommended in order to prevent indigo dye from rubbing/transferring.
