When the skirt is tied on the right hip, it looks like it's made from a single fabric, here, handspun and handwoven with ochre yellow Kalamkari hand block print on black in natural colours.

Special Instructions :
• Natural dyes tend to run colour. Please follow these steps to minimise colour bleed.
• First, soak the skirt for 5 minutes in half bucket of cold water + 2 teaspoons of common salt. Rinse and dry in shade.
• For subsequent washes, use mild soap, do not soak, rinse thoroughly and dry inside out in shade.
• Sunlight will cause the garment to fade. Hand wash is preferable; machine wash in cold water with similar colours only.
