Details

Bandhani is a tie-dyeing technique practiced mainly in western India. Intricate patterns are created by wrapping the fabric with string before dyeing it. When the fabric is untied, natural patterns appear in the places where the string prevented the dye from taking hold. Bandhani cloth is often used for women's shawls, but here the technique is adapted for a silky top. Made of a viscose rayon knit, the top drapes beautifully and features three-quarter length sleeves.

"Addition to my collection of Bandani clothing"

I was so glad to see they are still producing the shirt. Ive been traveling with the Jacket, Pants, and Dress for many years. They pack perfectly and the colors remain as bright as the day purchased.

"Very nice to look at"

This is a nice top. It runs small. The pattern is on the back, which is nice. I am a bit afraid to clean it. If it shrinks, it will be too small.

"Beautiful Ensemble!"

I purchased the bandhani skirt and tunic in black, and it is absolutely beautiful! I generally wear an extra large, and the tunic fit perfectly. The skirt was a little large, but, fortunately, it has a drawstring belt for cinching, so I simply tightened it a little bit and it fit perfectly. The fabric is a very soft, lightweight rayon that feels like a cotton jersey, but it has more substance so it doesnt seem to wrinkle. Perfect for a warm summer evenings. Its also very flattering and slimming, and I received a lot of comments when I wore it this evening. Very pleased with my purchase.

"Beautiful and easy to wear"

I purchased both the skirt and the top. I have worn the set once. It was breathable, comfortable and did not wrinkle. And I felt at ease wearing it yet put together in a professional way. This my kind of style- artisan, bohemian and interesting to look at.

Ive been looking for a top and skirt made straight like this! Unbelievably difficult to find. Had to go up a size.

"Beautiful, but..."

Beautiful embroidery only on one side, other side is plain -- see picture.Too big, why not make two or three different sizes?Otherwise it is wonderfully warm and soft inside. I want to love it but am ambivalent about keeping it. I would like to exchange it for a smaller size.

"Not as advertised"

The Good: The embroidered flowers are beautiful. The Bad: The flowers are only on ONE SIDE of the hat. The picture shows the hat in profile so its technically accurate, but kind of sneaky advertising. I look kind of weird and lopsided with only one side of the hat heavily decorated. Also, another review described beads and buttons incorporated in the embroidery. My hat did not include this. So Im disappointed and returning the product.

"Run small"

I wear size 6 but these too snug for me, with or without socks. May reorder size 7, as I really like them.
