Yes, with washing your indigo dyed dress will soften and fade slightly. We recommend using the gentle wash cycle. Be mindful of what you wash with your indigo dress with as it might transfer color. 

3. How do I wash my dress?

We recommend a gentle cool wash cycle with like colors and letting your dress air dry or using the dryer on low heat. Your dress will not shrink with washing or drying. You can use an iron as needed. 

For dresses with tassels, hand washing or a gentle cycle works best.

6. Why are there misprints in my fabric?

7. Why is the print on my dress fading/lighter?

This is the nature of block printed fabric. It is made using natural dyes so washing leads to softening of the colors and fabric. We think the fabric ages beautifully.
