Let the beauty of nature shine through your wardrobe by wearing this uniquely-crafted dress designed by Thailand's Wilai. The short-sleeved dress is printed with an eco-friendly process called ouke, a Northern Thai word meaning "ripen by heat." The artisan arranges leaves and flowers across the steel blue fabric, allowing the botanicals to leave an impression on the dress after heat treatment. Crafted from 100% cotton, the dress features two side pockets, a button closure at the back, and a belt tie that cinches the waist for an attractive silhouette.

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.
