The Silk Indigo Balloon Shape Dress is a hand-spun selection crafted by the Tay indigenous group in Vietnam. The naturally curated color can vary depending on the number of dips, adding unique character to each piece. This dress features a high neck and a middle seam that brings the garment together. The gathering creates an adjustable length with versatile options, allowing the dress to fall at your perfect length. A horizontal pattern of small stitching reflects refined and special detailing.
