Product Description

This long V-neck dress is made from muslin D fabric.

We hope you enjoy the sheer look of the ladder stitching, which is a distinctive feature of this design.

Muslin is a very fine cotton cloth that has been woven in Bengal since ancient times and has fascinated people all over the world. The Dhaka region of present-day Bangladesh has been known as the main production area. However, the original species of the staple fiber (although I have explained that it was a long fiber, it turns out that it was a short fiber) that is essential for muslin has almost become extinct (only remains in museums), the coastal areas where it grew have been lost due to years of erosion, and the majority of weavers today have never woven very fine cotton, so it is said to be quite difficult to restore it to the same specifications as it was back then (although experimental reproductions have been carried out).
Meanwhile, in the Indian state of West Bengal, there is a growing movement to promote hand-woven cotton of 100 count or more, calling it modern muslin, and there are still a few weavers attempting to weave extremely fine cotton threads of 500 count.

Muslin D was developed amid these trends, and currently, the white fabric uses ambar charka yarn for both the warp and weft threads, while the dyed fabric is woven with spun yarn for the warp and approximately 300-count ambar charka yarn for the weft.
It has a soft texture, allows light to pass through slightly, and has a particularly delicate impression among fine-count kadis.

Before you purchase

* This product is also sold in stores, so it may be sold out at the time of your order. If the product is out of stock after you place your order, we will contact you.
* Hand-spun yarn is mainly produced by village women using a modern and highly efficient spinning wheel called an ambar charka. When the thread breaks, it is characteristic that neps are formed when it is spun by hand.
* Most hand-woven and hand-spun fabrics are made in village huts, and depending on the environment, threads and grass may be mixed in. There may also be uneven areas, twists, smudges caused by skipped threads, and unavoidable stains. Please understand that these are characteristics of Indian fabrics before purchasing.
* Depending on the material, friction when worn may cause shrinkage or pilling. Please avoid excessive friction or pressure as it may cause damage to the fabric.
* We recommend washing at home in cold water with a mild detergent and drying in the shade. If using a washing machine, use a laundry net.
