The Cape Town dress is a classic oversized babydoll shape, with a gathered empire waist, puff sleeves and a square neckline. This dress has side seam pockets and ends at the knee.
Our medium weight organic plain weave cotton comes from India and the colour is a warm ivory created by a natural process using banana fibre pot ash.
The Cape Town dress fabric is ethically sourced from Maiwa who specializes in working with global artisans.
We originally made this dress in collaboration with our community partners in Cape Town, South Africa. You can read about our commitment to their work here and proceeds from this dress will continue to support their work in Masiphumele!
For more sizing info you can find our size guide here. Laynie is 5’9 and wearing the small. This dress can be machine washed, but we recommend hand washing and hanging to dry.
Please allow 1 week for this dress to be made by someone on our lovely team and mailed to you! For any questions or inquiries please email info@abelwear.com.
