Fresh and cool as the summer breeze, this double-layered cotton gauze A-line dress is a joy to wear, soft to the touch and perfect for relaxing days. The V-neck sleeveless summer dress in pintuck style has two side pockets and is presented by Thailand's Ying and Joy.

Thai artisan Wilai uses a unique eco-printing process known as ouke--a Northern Thai word that means "ripen by heat"--to create the pattern on this belted shift dress. The artisan steams a selection of leaves and flowers, imprinting their image all over the cotton fabric. Two side pockets and a button closure complete the dress with subtle, welcome details.

Please note: Due to the unique process used, there will be variations in the motif, colors, color density, and color placement. The organic materials leave unique stains and shapes on each piece. These irregularities make each dress a one-of-a-kind work of wearable art.

Whether you are relaxing at home, strolling a beach boardwalk or sipping a spritz in an Italian cafe, this cool and comfortable shift dress is just the ticket. Designed by India's Shalabh, the deep v-neck dress features cap sleeves, covered buttons on the bodice, and traditional chikankari hand embroidery.
