Description

This is a stunning vintage silk dress made at a factory in Uzbekistan in Soviet times (we guess 1970s). It is made from smooth silk fabric with bright ikat pattern. It is a classic Uzbek dress. You can wear it as a dress or as a tunic, with leggings or pants. The last photo shows great Uzbek dancer Tamara Khanum wearing one of such dresses, with a jacket (taken by Max Penson, also great).

The back of the fabric is red, so the white stripes have reddish overtones. This is a loose fit dress, which means it will have no issues with fitting (if you like relaxed fit). It's upper part is partially lined in the same silk fabric.

This is a smaller sized dress which is rare. It will fit Extra Small through Medium, depending on how you like your clothes to fit. Please refer to measurements. My mannequin is Extra Small. These dresses are always worn in a relaxed way. The fabric has no give at all. The dress is hand hemmed which is normal for dresses made from khan atlas.

Measurements (laid flat, not doubled):

bust - 19.5 inches or 50 cm

length from center of back of neck to hem - 35.5 inches or 91 cm

length of sleeve - 9 inches or 23.5 cm

width of sleeve at the opening - 7.5 inches or 20 cm

width of hem - 28.5 inches or 73 cm

Uzbek women still wear these dresses on special occasions, like weddings and birthdays. In daily life they tend to wear dresses that are cheaper and do not need to be dry cleaned. However, these dresses make great loungewear, if dry cleaning is not an issue.

This silk was hand woven in Margilan, Ferghana Valley, in Soviet Union times. This heavy silk is smooth and cool to the touch. It is handwoven fabric, made in the ancient way on primitive looms. The pattern is not printed; instead, threads are dyed in sections according to complex calculations. The fabric is 100% natural silk as evidenced by the care tag. It is called khan atlas.

Condition: New old stock, unworn, no hang tags.

PLEASE NOTE that handwoven silk may have small slubs, uneven threads etc. (as a rule, it is totally clean and smooth, but occasionally you can see something). This is considered to be a normal attribute of its handmade nature, like inclusions in natural emeralds.

PLEASE DRY CLEAN.

Please note that shipping from Uzbekistan to most places takes 4-8 weeks.

As for returning the item, you can return it for any reason within 30 days since receiving it, and we will issue a full refund minus shipping. If there is a major mistake in description, we will compensate shipping costs as well.

Black Slavic cotton shawl with red roses and yellow tulips, new old stock, vegan Slavic shawl [CLONE]
This lovely floral Slavic shawl is made from pure cotton. It is a traditional vintage Pavlovo Posad shawl. The size is 61x61 inches (155X155 cm). It is new without a tag. I guess it's from 1970-ies. This shawl is a fine example of Slavic folk art, produced by the famous Pavlovo Posad Manufacture. They stopped producing cotton shawls many years ago and you can only buy a vintage one now, which is a pity - cotton shawls are beautiful and comfortable. They are indispensable in the summer when you want to hide your shoulders from sun, or to protect yourself from an evening chill. For those who do not wear wool this is the best way to enjoy the beauty of a Slavic shawl in a vegan option. You can use it as a shawl, a throw, a lap blanket, you can hang it on a wall - so many uses! The flower garlands are very bright and elegant. You will treasure it for years to come. The fabric drapes nicely. It is a high quality cotton, soft and fine. The fringe is also cotton; it is knit in a very elaborate way. PLEASE NOTE: I cannot see any material issues, but the item is very vintage and there can be some very faint discolouration from storage. Overall in excellent vintage condition. You can hand wash it with care or dry clean. These are actually quite sturdy, I just prefer to be on the safe side. Please note that shipping from Uzbekistan to the US, Canada and Europe takes 3-8 weeks.

blue wool tablecloth in the style of a Slavic shawl, hand block printed floral wool throw with rowan
This gorgeous tablecloth in the Slavic shawl style is called Rowan. It was designed by famous Ekaterina Regunova of Pavlovo Posad Manufacture in 1957. What we have here is a museum quality hand block printed piece; a very similar tablecloth is stored in the Russian Museum of Applied and Folk Art (see photo). This design was awarded the Gran Prix at the International Exhibition in Brussels in 1958, but then it was in the form of a shawl. The tablecloth was in production since 1970. I love hand block printed fabrics; they look alive, like a watercolor; it is as if I feel the warmth of the artist's hands. And this one is absolutely special, full of sun and shade, red berries and green leaves and lavish flowers. To me, this is like falling asleep in the afternoon garden - a happy autumn dream. This is a very heavy and substantial tablecloth, wool with a bit of synthetics for sturdiness, and while it can be worn as a shawl (and indeed this is how I am showing it), I think it must be a bit too coarse and itchy. It is not as soft and lovely as Russian shawls usually are, but if you love "good ol'e wool", this might be your bet! In addition, it can be hung on a wall, and I am considering it for my bedroom if it doesn't sell. These are exceedingly rare, each find can be the last one in my country. The size is 56.5x56.5 inches (144X144 cm) with short self-fringe fringe. PLEASE NOTE: It is in very good vintage condition and most definitely unused - no one ever ate from it. It had three tiny pinholes that we mended. Please note however that this is a vintage item, and as such it can have some small defects caused by long storage. Please note that shipping from Uzbekistan to most places takes 3-8 weeks. As for returning the item, you can return it for any reason within 30 days since receiving it, and we will issue a full refund minus shipping. If there is a major mistake in description, we will compensate shipping costs as well. Even though we will not be able to sell starting from May, we are not disappearing and will be honoring all our obligations.
