Hemp one-piece dress, high density (grass dyed)
100% hemp thread is used for the warp and weft. The thread is finer than regular hemp fabric, giving it a denser weave and a finer appearance. Hemp is a strong fiber, but it gradually becomes more comfortable against the skin over time, and you can enjoy the change in texture from hemp to cotton-like. The cool feel that is characteristic of hemp persists even after repeated washing, making it comfortable to wear even in the middle of summer. For more information on the history of hemp cloth, see the article by Shinichiro Yoshida, Director of the Modern Linen Research Institute , and for more information on the differences between hemp, ramie, and flax, see Boeken's article .
The lining and edges are made of khadi, which is hand-spun and hand-woven in West Bengal, India, with both the warp and weft threads being hand-spun. For more information on hand-spinning, please refer to the link to the outer fabric spinning section and the blog of our supplier, CALICO . The unevenness created by hand-spinning and hand-weaving relatively short-fiber desi cotton gives it a texture like a second skin, and is beautiful even when held up to light. The occasional random borders are created by the fine changes in yarn lots used in the handwork, and are also one of the characteristics of the fabric.
The design is a reversible dress with dolman sleeves. The sleeves have no seams, giving it a simple look, and the pattern is designed to follow the silhouette of the wearer, creating a beautiful line. The placket has a long string, so you can wear it however you like by adjusting the way you tie it. The side has a long slit, making it easy to move around in even though it is long. There is a pocket on the surface.
*There are knots and unevenness in the threads that are unique to natural materials. This is because we place importance on texture and use raw materials with uneven fiber lengths, so please consider this as part of the look. Please be careful not to pull on the knots in the threads too hard, as this may cause the threads to break and create holes in the fabric.
*Dyed with dyes extracted from plants and insects, there is a natural unevenness. As there is a possibility of color transfer, avoid using it with light-colored items at first, wash with a neutral detergent, and dry in the shade. As it is product dyed, the color and size of each item may vary slightly. (Japanese chestnut (dark))
*Dyed with natural indigo. The color will become lighter with repeated use. As there is a possibility of color transfer, avoid using with light-colored items at first, wash with neutral detergent, and dry in the shade. As this is product dyed, the color and size of each item may vary slightly. (Indigo (dark))
