Some pieces feel like old friends the moment you put them on. Shimla is one of those. A long-loved Soul Song favourite, this flowing dust coat returns with fresh prints while holding onto that easy, familiar charm. Beautifully framed with thoughtful detailing, it layers over everything and elevates nothing.

Features

Some pieces never really leave us, they simply wait quietly until it’s their time again.

Shimla is one of those. A long-loved favourite, refreshed with new prints, yet still holding the same familiar, worn-in charm.

Framed with raw, time-softened edges and stitched with a quiet, handcrafted spirit, Shimla feels like something found - something already part of you.

Raw-edged frills, loose and lived-in. Deep, easy pockets for life’s little essentials.

A shape made for layering - open, flowing, and free.

Wear it open as a jacket, thrown over your favourite threads when the weather can’t quite decide.

Wear it buttoned through as a dress in its own right.

Slip it on to greet the morning light, or carry it with you as day turns to dusk.

The Shimla Dust Coat has that lived-in feel that only gets better with time - telling new stories, season after season, every time you wear it.

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 Indigo

Created using a traditional mud-resist hand block printing technique, each Indigo piece carries the depth and character of this centuries-old artisan process. Intricately carved wooden blocks are hand-printed onto the fabric using a specially formulated mud resist paste, before the cloth is immersed into an indigo dye vat.

Once dried beneath the sun and gently washed, the resist is lifted away to reveal the design beneath — rich indigo tones layered with beautifully organic texture and tonal variation.

Slow, skilful, and deeply rooted in tradition, this time-honoured process celebrates the beauty of human touch and natural indigo dyeing.

Sizing

Garment Measurements:

Bust: S/M 120cm | L/XL 134cm

Armhole circumference: S/M 54cm | L/XL 60cm

Shoulder to shoulder: S/M 53cm | L/XL 56cm

Length - Shoulder to Hem: S/M 102cm | L/XL 102cm

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.
