India, Karomi Crafts & Textiles, Indigo Random Diamond Sleeveless Jamdani Layered Dress

Product name: Indigo Random Diamond Sleeveless Jamdani Layered dress

Type of product: Garment (Dress)

Description (story of the item): 

The dress, as the name suggests, comprises 2 layers of hand-spun, hand-woven fabric. The inner layer is a soft cotton, naturally dyed indigo with inseam pockets. The back of the outer layer is a Gicha (hand spun silk) striped indigo cotton. The front of the outer layer is a handwoven Jamdani fabric, yarn-dyed in natural indigo. The Jamdani is part of our Khaddar Kona fabric collection. Kona - as in angled – is a collection characterized by angled patterns inspired by the inlay work in the monuments of medieval India. Woven using fine hand spun cotton in the weft, the fabric is soft and translucent in stark contrast to its "angled" theme. Gicha and hand-twisted cotton yarn have been used to weave the motifs. 

At Karomi, the characteristic feature of our garments is our ‘hand-woven, design-driven Jamdani' fabric. Jamdani weave has been an integral part of Bengali tradition. Intricate motifs are woven directly on the loom using the ‘extra weft’ weaving style. This historic craft has been passed down from generations through intense practice and discreet instructions followed by the Jamdani weavers of Bengal (India). 

A Karomi Jamdani is different from the usual. It is characterised by randomness in design patterns and whimsical play of forms with large or no repeats, thus guaranteeing an 'authentic' Jamdani that is both artistic and future forward.
