Artisan Made
Hand Block Printed

Timeless but never ordinary. The Erika Dress balances feminine grace with quiet confidence - a fitted button-up bodice, fine gathers from the side panel and across the back, and a graceful length that feels occasion-ready without trying too hard. Designed to move beautifully on every body. Designed in Australia.

Features

A timeless classic with modern elegance best describes our Erika dress. Beautifully feminine with its fitted button up bodice, graceful length and fine detailed gathers from side panel and across the back, a shapely effect giving it a loose skimming waist appeal. We LOVE that this dress is fully lined with super fine cotton.

The Erika has all the look and feel of pure indulgence, a treasured piece that can be worn across all seasons.

Perfect on its own, or for a more dramatised layered look and extra length, wear over a pair of our Culottes.

The Erika Dress is available in two very fine hand block prints, resembling a hand loomed weave.

Textile & Process

The Textile

100% Cotton Voile

Soft and weightless with a light, flowing feel. Semi-sheer with a fine, gentle softness to the touch, moving beautifully on the body.

The Process

Hand Block Printed in India

Hand block printing is a traditional and highly skilled artisan technique, where fabric is printed by hand using intricately carved rosewood blocks.

It's a process that takes time, and begins with preparing the cloth and carving the blocks. The dye master then mixes the colours by hand and memory, each print is placed with precision, guided by eye and experience — a steady rhythm, applying the print in layers to bring the pattern to life.

Once printed, the fabric is washed, dried, and checked — revealing a textile shaped by time, skill, and human touch.

Subtle variations may occur, and are part of what makes each piece unique.

Sizing

Measurements are shown in centimetres (cm) and taken with the garment laid flat. They refer to the garment itself, not your body.

Fit may vary between styles, with some designed for a relaxed fit and others more shaped through the bust, waist, or hips.

As most SoulSong garments are made from natural cotton with minimal stretch, we recommend allowing room for ease and movement when selecting your size.

For general sizing information and measuring tips, please refer to our Size Guide.

Garment Care

Handmade garments need extra loving care. Gently hand wash in COLD water using a very small amount of natural detergent. Do not soak or leave wet in a laundry basket. Do not place in a dryer. Drape or hang in the shade to dry. Leave un-ironed for that natural cotton look and feel.

We recommend washing Indigo pieces separately in cold salty water several times to help release any excess dye.

Lovingly handmade in India, slight variations in colour are part of the unique beauty of each garment.

Slow Fashion

Giving Back

For us, slow fashion is about a more thoughtful and sustainable approach to the clothes we wear. We believe garments should be made with care — using natural fibres, traditional techniques, small batch production, and timeless design made to be worn and loved for years to come.

By choosing consciously made clothing, you’re supporting skilled artisans, reducing unnecessary waste, and embracing a slower, more meaningful way of dressing — one that values quality, human touch, and a gentler impact on the planet.
