I've been sporting this great summer sundress from a company called RF Textiles lately. It's been so ridiculously hot and humid here the past few days a sundress is about all I can manage to put on.


Here is a bit of a description of the dress from the site.
"This sundress is designed by RF Textiles. The fabric is 100% cotton shibori. The shibori fabric is made in a town near Tibet by a family who has been dying fabric for 3 generations. They use natural, eco-friendly dyes made from flowers, vegetables and fruits of the area. The shibori stitching is done by asian women using the NUI technique which encompasses 13 different stitches to make the designs. (a pattern is put on a white piece of fabric. The design is stitched and then tied tightly. When the design is all stitched, the fabric is put in the dye vats and then dried in huge dryers. Then the stitching is taken out and it leaves the white design and the background is the color of the dye). A top stitch is done afterwards, called a “couch” stitch, which gives the fabric it’s depth and texture. It’s a fabric that gets softer and softer the more you wear it and wash it."
