Hand-Dyed Vintage Cotton and Embroidery Top – Cloud-Washed Indigo

This elegant vintage 100% cotton top features a flattering v-neckline and intricate open-work embroidery along the sleeves, neckline, a front panel, and the hemline. The detailed needlework gives this piece a beautifully crafted, timeless feel.

The original label confirms the fabric as 100% cotton, and the garment is labelled Medium. As is common with vintage pieces, branding is absent, so we’ve included accurate measurements below to help you find your ideal fit.

Botanical Dye Details

This top has been dyed in a traditional indigo vat, creating a soft mottled, cloud-washed pattern that mimics the shifting tones of a cloudy sky. The result is a deep, atmospheric blue with natural movement and variation.

Naturally dyed garments, especially those dyed after construction, do not have the uniform, flat colour of synthetic dyes. Expect beautiful depth, tonal shifts, and organic variation across the garment, a hallmark of botanical dyeing.

Care & Longevity

Indigo is naturally lightfast and washfast, but like denim, it will slowly fade over time. This soft ageing happens more quickly with prolonged sunlight exposure or strong detergents.

For best care:

●Wash at 20°C

●Use a pH-neutral, non-biological detergent

●Select a moderate spin cycle

●Dry away from direct sunlight

A small amount of colour transfer is normal, especially when new. Please take care when wearing or washing alongside pale fabrics.
