About This Piece
Diatta Hand-Dyed Maxi Dress
A sumptuously soft cotton maxi dress made for Queens, our Diatta dress is an all-around luxurious favorite for any occasion. Made with pure cotton gauze fabric ethically sourced in Mauritania and hand-dyed in Senegal using traditional methods, this dress is a unique combination of comfort and luxury. The plunge neckline with balloon sleeves creates a flattering look while the invisible zipper slit completes this elegant silhouette. Unzip to your desired length to create a slit or leave it closed.
Diatta’s Story: The fabric for the Diatta maxi dress set was ethically sourced in Mauritania and shipped to Senegal for production. The white cotton gauze fabric was hand-dyed in Senegal, using traditional Senegalese Thioup (tie-and-dye) methods. Once dyed, the fabric is washed several times to prevent bleeding and sealed with a traditional pressing method. Diatta was expertly stitched by a male tailor who owns his own business and has a small number of employees.
