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

Garment Measurements:

Bust: S/M 92-110cm | L/XL 100-124cm | XXXL 110-132cm

The Jalabi is a bias-cut bodice, therefore bust measurements indicate the circumference when relaxed, and when at full extension.

Armhole circumference: S/M 52cm | L/XL 56cm | XXXL 60cm

Shoulder to Hem: S/M 116cm | L/XL 121cm | XXXL 123cm

Hem circumference: 750-800cm

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.

So soft and flowing, beautiful quality workmanship. Would not hesitate to purchase from you again although I don’t need any more clothes. 😉

Ordered this dress when on special, so unable to return it - dress is lovely no problem with quality of sewing and material and even though the bust etc measurements are correct - where it is supposed to fit below the bust and then flare out - it sits to high - not below. Will have to try and sell on facebook to recoup some of what I paid for it. Lesson learnt.

Really beautiful dress, excellent quality.

Love the colours . This is my 4th Jalabi
Always great service & delivery

One of my favourite dresses ever

Falls beautifully.

I have been buying clothes from Donna for years and will continue as long as she keeps creating the most beautiful dresses. Whenever I wear one of her dresses I receive compliments and asked where I brought it. Of course I tell them SoulSong. Thank you Donna.

It is a lovely looking dress that is comfy and fun to wear. I love the vibrant colours and print, that always cheers me up.

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.
