Khadi and Co.’s Versaille Dress is crafted from handwoven Andhra cotton from India. The sleeves are designed to be three-quarter length, reaching the elbows. The front chest is adorned with hand-sewn pleats, resembling petals, extending from the chest to the back. The round neckline features pleat details and is adorned with a delicate stitched button at the front. The dress is equipped with pockets on both sides, adding practicality. The pure cotton material provides a soft and comfortable wearing experience.

＊Please note,  this dress is made from 100% pure handloom Andhra cotton, showcasing its characteristic crease effect and slubs, a unique feature of its artisanal technique rather than a flaw.

＊Smocking：Smocking, also known as shirring embroidery, creates a three-dimensional pleating effect through hand-sewing. Originating from the UK, it gained popularity in the 1970s for its unique decorative appeal. Widely used in clothing design and home decor, it adds texture and visual interest.

Khadi & Co by Bess Nielsen –

“Along a barely defined road in northern Benga, deep in the dense jungle some 200km from Calcutta, is a land where fig and banana trees and coconut palms border the shimmering oxbows of the Ganges. In a clearing near a village of ancient earth houses with palm-leaf roofs, you come across a cooperative where peasant farmers arrive on bicycles, brining lengths of silk and cotton cloth that have been woven on the looms in their villages.

Danish textile designer Bess Nielsen works with these people, making use of their techniques, which have changed little in the past 4000 years, and dividing her time between Paris and various parts of India – from Kerala to Nagaland, Rajasthan to Bengal.”
