Double Ikat Waistcoat

Hi all,

Happy Monday :)

Today's outfit is a double Ikat waistcoat, fabric sourced from Kolkata (India).

I will be covering the fabric section soon there I will be discussing about the different Indian
fabrics used across the country.

But to brief, Ikat (literally means tie and in the malay language it means "to bind") is a dyeing technique used to pattern textiles that employs resist dyeing on the yarns prior to dyeing and weaving the fabric.

This waistcoat is more ethnic tribal oriented and goes well for different cultural ethnic events.
It can be paired with tunics, tees, shirts. Inner lining used is a cotton denim.
Its good for summers and spring season. Waistcoats add up the funk to any simple dress.
Here its been paired with a handmade purse and skirt.
