MAKEDA | Button Up Dress
The Betami Azure Collection features a striking color-block combination of three shades of blue, paired with bands of neutral cream and white, inspired by handmade indigo quilting and African textiles.
The voluminous Makeda dress features a stand collar, shell buttons, a ruched neckline, raglan sleeves, and front slits. It's slightly oversized and comes with hip pockets, a self-belt, and button cuffs. The unlined dress can also be sized down for a more tailored fit.
Hand-woven in Ethiopia, this silhouette is made of soft hand-spun cotton for a light and comfortable feel. This style is crafted from a heavier fabric than our usual handwoven styles, making it perfect for the days of fall.
