Padmasana Skirt/Dress, rust *botanical dye
We are obsessed with how wearable this garment is! Gorgeous as a midi length, high waisted skirt, or you can pull it up & tie in the matching straps to wear as a breezy knee-length dress (depending on your height of course ;-)! Hand loomed Nepalese cotton keeps you cool in the hottest Texas summer heat. Or layer it up with boots, sweater, and our Nabina Quilted Jacket for the coldest Himalayan winter. And, because everything should have pockets, these have deep hidden pockets that can be used in both skirt & dress styling.
Flexible sizing for the many stages of our lives ♥️
Thoughtfully designed by Bibi, in Austin, Texas. Ethically handcrafted by our amazing Fair Trade partners in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Hand-Dyed Clothes
As with all hand-dyed products, some color variation within and between items is normal, and part of their unique beauty.
Hand-dyed products may bleed slightly when wet, so please follow cleaning instructions carefully.
Bleach should never be used on these garments as it can cause damage and even yellowing.
Some things can cause what looks like a stain on plant-dyed clothing, but it's actually a chemical reaction usually reversed with water!
Follow these steps if you notice spots from...
Citrus, Vinegar, Wine, Tea, Coffee & Other Highly Acidic Foods
- soak the entire garment in cold water for at least 1 hour (best overninght).
- wash according to care label instructions.
- repeat if necessary.
Alkaline Deodorants with Baking Soda
- dilute ph neutral detergent in warm water & soak garment for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight).
- gently rub stains if needed.
- repeat if necessary
Cooking Oil, Beauty Oil, Grease
- sprinkle baking powder on stain
- let sit 30 mins
- soak in warm water, then wash according to care label
- repeat if necessary
How to Wash Plant Dyed Clothing
Hand wash in cold color with soft, PH neutral soap (some examples are ECOS, 7th Generation, Eucalan, & Woolite)
- If washing on the hand wash cycle of a machine, washing in a garment bag will help avoid snags
- Wash dark colors separately
- Natural indigo is especially prone to color transfer at first. To avoid blue skin, some people choose to wash their new indigo clothes a few times before wearing
- The colors of plant based dye will mellow over time, adding a whole new dimension to your wardrobe
- Do not bleach
- Air dry out of direct sunlight
- Handle with ♥️
