Handwoven Cotton Silk Two-tone Sari Check Loose Blouse

Product Description

We tailored this shirt from soft cotton silk fabric.
The fabric used is a finely checked pattern with a different color scheme every 50cm.
The different materials are woven alternately, creating a slightly uneven texture, with the transparency of the fine cotton and the luster of the silk peeking through alternately.

The basic colors are decided by CALICO, and the changes in color scheme every 50cm are left to the weavers.
Therefore, please note that the color may vary from piece to piece.

The back of the dress is slightly longer.
The shoulders and waist are tailored to be loose, making this a blouse that is recommended for a wide range of people, from petite to larger.
Can be used all year round.

Before you purchase

* This product is also carried in the stores, so it may occasionally be sold out at the time of your order through the website. Unfortunately if that the product is out of stock after you placing the order, we will contact you. We appreciate your understanding.

* Hand-spun yarn is mainly made by women in the village using an efficient modern spinning wheel called an “Amber Charka.” When the yarn breaks, it is spun by hand, resulting in neps, which is a characteristic feature.

* Most of hand-spun and handwoven fabrics are produced in village huts, and as a result, threads or grass may occasionally be mixed in. Additionally, there may be uneven areas, wrinkles, or slight discoloration caused by thread breaks, as well as unavoidable minor stains. Please understand that these are characteristic features of those fabrics.

* Depending on the material, friction during use may cause pilling or fuzziness. Excessive friction or pressure can cause a fabric damage, so please avoid such a situation.

* Please note that dark-colored fabrics and clothing may fade or transfer color due to friction, rain, sweat, etc. Please be careful when wearing light-colored clothing or carrying light-colored bags, or when using them with furniture.

* We recommend washing at home with a neutral detergent in cold water and drying in the shade. Wash dark-colored items separately from others, also use a laundry net if using a washing machine.
