It's femininity without ifs, it's lightness without buts, it's summer without compromise. A slip dress in ultra-light Indian khadi, a soft and durable cotton, spun and woven by hand. Dreamy, flowing, summery, it's a harmonious contrast that hybridizes the draped volumes of a 19th-century dress, completely emptied of rigidity and heaviness, and the minimalism of a slip. It possesses the grace of highly tailored objects. 🧵 Its lace along the neckline and armholes are completely hand-encrusted; 🧵 It has at least 7 meters of hand stitching, because only in this way can its lightness and volatility be true; 🧵 The fabric is entirely cut on the bias, to take advantage of the natural elasticity of the fabric and to add transversal fit to that already inherent in the pattern; 🧵 The diagonal cut on the front and back comes from the highest tailoring tradition, when looms were not industrial and were small, so the height of the pieces of fabric was not enough to cover the entire length of a dress, as in this case: the khadi used is woven on handlooms, which, for practicality, are low. These diagonal seams are a structural detail, but they are also two beautiful graphic signs to the eye. When necessity becomes aesthetic poetry.
