Tamaki Niime never ceases to amaze with their craftsmanship!

This gorgeous V-neck cap sleeve dress is woven using Banshu-ori dyed wool and cotton yarn. The yarn is then threaded onto a large loom and hand woven. The waffle weave texture of the fabric is achieved using a combination of plain weave and long “warp and weft floats” (non-interlacing threads) that result in the raised square pattern. A beautiful and meticulous technique that provides added comfort and durability.
