Variant

Artisan Made
Hand Block Printed
100% Cotton

Long, flowing and beautifully feminine, the Paloma is a full-length maxi dress with a softly scooped neckline, relaxed cap sleeves and a wonderfully generous silhouette. Three softly gathered tiers create a beautiful sweep through the skirt, with plenty of movement and lovely flowing lines. Wear her loose and free, or add a belt when you feel like bringing in the waist.

Features

Paloma has a beautiful, relaxed feel - all that lovely cloth, a wonderfully flowing shape and a little romance in the details.

The softly scooped neckline flows gently across the shoulders into a relaxed cap sleeve, creating a beautifully continuous line with generous arm openings. Feminine without being fussy, and wonderfully comfortable to wear.

The bodice meets three softly gathered tiers, creating a long, flowing maxi silhouette with beautiful movement all the way to the hem.

The fit is deliberately generous, with plenty of room through the bust, waist and hips. Designed as a one-size style, Paloma accommodates a lovely range of body shapes without losing her soft, feminine lines.

Wear her loose to make the most of that beautiful flowing silhouette, or add a belt to gently define the waist.

And of course, there are pockets.

Made slowly in 100% cotton and printed by hand using traditional hand-carved blocks.

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 (one size):

Bust Circumference: 128cm

Waist Circumference: 128cm

Hip Circumference: 204cm

Armhole Circumference: 52cm

Shoulder to Hem Length: 132cm

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.

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.
