About the Echizen Dress (Maxi Length)

The Echizen Dress (Maxi Length) is an elegant dress crafted from a silky, satin-like organic cotton fabric, rooted in the traditional "Echizen Shirt" from Itoshiro.

While utilizing the simple structure of the Echizen shirt, which was originally workwear, we prioritize a beautiful drape and comfortable material.

Material and Fabric — Soft Texture

This fabric is 100% organic cotton satin.
While retaining the soft texture unique to organic cotton, increasing the fabric density creates an elegant sheen and a lovely, flowing drape.

Customers who try it on often exclaim how "comfortable" it feels.
This material offers a comfort that makes it suitable as a dress from spring to autumn.

Generous Width and Comfortable Silhouette

The maxi-length Echizen dress has a generous width, ensuring a comfortable fit without feeling restrictive.
With a design that doesn't define shoulder placement and small triangular gussets at the armholes, the arms have freedom of movement, making it easy to wear.

The hem falls straight down, not flaring out too much, creating a sophisticated silhouette.

As a Dress or an Outerwear Piece

This Echizen dress can easily be coordinated as a standalone statement piece, and you can also enjoy different styles by adjusting the accompanying waist belt.

A cinched waist style is also suitable for more formal occasions.
Additionally, it can serve as a light jacket during cooler periods in early spring or autumn.

Gentle Hues of Botanical Dye

The color range primarily includes three colors: Marigold Khaki, Sakura Pink, and Marigold Yellow. Depending on the year, bi-color options and variations may also be added.

Deep, Layered Colors from Dyeing

This color is a special, limited-edition combination for this year. It's achieved by layering dyes from chestnut burrs and cedar leaves with an iron mordant, resulting in a muted color that's an intermediate shade between greige and beige.

Each piece is carefully dyed by hand at a botanical dye workshop in Itoshiro.

It has a calm, sophisticated look, and the color blends well for both everyday outings and formal settings.

Comfort and Size

With its long length and relaxed fit, it can be comfortably worn by people of all body types.
The silhouette, which doesn't flare out too much towards the hem, enhances the beautiful drape unique to a maxi length.

Care and Maintenance

• To ensure long-lasting wear, we recommend the following care instructions:
  • Turn inside out, place in a large laundry net, and wash on a delicate cycle.
  • Use a neutral detergent (water wash is fine for light soiling).
  • After washing, air dry in the shade, still inside out.
  • Botanical/indigo dyes are sensitive to light, so store in a dark place.
  • For storage between seasons, please use moth repellents.
  • We also offer repairs for fading and fraying, so you can use it with peace of mind for a long time.

Recommended for:

• Those seeking a comfortable, lustrous dress.
• Those who prefer a relaxed fit with ample width for stress-free comfort.
• Those who want to enjoy the deep hues unique to botanical dyes.
• Those who desire a versatile dress that can be worn for everyday and special occasions.
