Heko Obi Shibori Dress
This dress is made from a Sou-Shibori men’s Heko Obi. Heko Obi are loosely tied belts worn with Kimonos. This Heko Obi is dyed in the Sou-Shibori 総絞り method, a traditional hand tie-dye technique. Each dot is tied by hand before the textile is dipped in dye—then each dot is untied manually. A process that can take several weeks. Because of the enormous amount of labor that goes into Sou-Shibori, it is considered a high end textile.
This is a loose-fitted dress with long balloon sleeves.

Length 120cm / 27 in
