Earth Ombre Silk Halter Nagoya Dress
Inspired by the colours of earth at sunset, this one-of-a-kind silk halter dress is handcrafted using traditional natural dyeing techniques in my Athens studio.
The silk is first naturally dyed with cutch using an ombré dyeing technique, creating a soft transition of warm earthy tones. It is then bundle dyed with madder roots, walnut shells and annatto seeds, allowing the plants to leave their own unique botanical markings across the fabric. No two dresses can ever be replicated.
The flowing silhouette, gathered bust and open back create an elegant, effortless shape, while the adjustable halter ties allow the fit to be adapted to the wearer.
Crafted slowly from luxurious silk and coloured entirely with plants, this dress is designed to be treasured for years to come.

Natural Dyeing
Botanical dyeing is a slow process, that can be unpredictable and there are often pleasant colour surprises. It takes several hours to extract the natural pigment from plants, sometimes even days!
