Clarity 100% Cotton Dress - Valerie

Details: Smocked square neck bodice · Ruched stretch straps · Four tiered ankle length skirt · 2 deep pockets · 100% cotton · Hand-block printed

Valerie — from the Latin valere, meaning to be strong, to be healthy, to have worth. A name rooted in vitality and strength. She has always known her own value.

Crisp white cotton hand-block printed with pink tulips climbing olive green stems in vertical stripes from shoulder to hem — a garden in full bloom, pressed into fabric one stamp at a time. The smocked square neck bodice holds and stretches with gentle support, the ruched straps sitting softly on the shoulders. Below the bodice the skirt opens into four sweeping tiers, each one fuller than the last, falling to the ankle in a shape that is both relaxed and entirely magnificent. Two deep pockets.

Fabric: Every Valerie is hand-block printed in Jaipur using a craft 500 years older than fast fashion — wooden blocks carved by hand, dipped in natural dye, and pressed into the fabric one stamp at a time. Designed on our homestead in rural Ohio, made in Jaipur by families who have practiced this tradition for generations. Because each dress is made entirely by hand, no two are identical — slight variations in color and pattern are not flaws, they are fingerprints. The mark of something real. No chlorinated bleaches, azo dyes, chemical washes, sprays, or preservatives are used to make or applied to our Clarity dresses. We are toxin free by design.

Care: Wash inside out with other 100% cotton fabrics on a delicate cold cycle. Hang dry. Never bleach.
