Each Xiabu Dress is crafted from premium Wanzai ramie fiber, processed through traditional methods including natural dew-bleaching, hand-spinning, and manual weaving on wooden looms. The collection features three signature styles: the A-line midi dress (length 110cm), the wrap-style shirt dress (length 105cm), and the tiered maxi dress (length 130cm), all available in natural ivory and plant-dyed hues of soft indigo, tea green, and sand beige.
The Xiabu fabric undergoes a 15-step artisanal process, resulting in a lightweight (180g/m²) yet durable textile with a distinctive fine texture. Garments feature thoughtful details like hand-stitched hems, mother-of-pearl buttons, and adjustable ties that complement the fabric's natural drape. Each dress includes a small woven label certifying its origin from our heritage workshop in Wanzai County, Jiangxi Province – the historic home of Xiabu Craftsmanship.

Q1: Is Xiabu fabric comfortable against the skin?
A1: Yes. While Xiabu has a distinctive texture, our fabric undergoes a special softening process that makes it gentle against the skin. It becomes even softer with each wash while maintaining its structural integrity.
Q2: How should I care for my Xiabu dress?
A2: We recommend hand washing in cold water with mild detergent, or machine washing on a delicate cycle in a protective bag. Air dry flat away from direct sunlight. Iron on low heat if needed.
Q3: Are the dresses true to size?
A3: Our Xiabu dresses follow standard international sizing (XS-XL). Each style includes specific measurements in the size chart, and most feature adjustable elements (ties, buttons) for a customized fit.
Q4: Do the plant-dyed colors fade?
A4: Natural dyes may experience slight color adjustment after the first wash, which is normal. We recommend washing separately initially. The colors stabilize after the first few washes and develop a beautiful patina over time.
Q5: Can Xiabu dresses be worn in cooler weather?
A5: Absolutely. The lightweight nature of Xiabu makes it perfect for layering over long-sleeved tops or under cardigans during transitional seasons, extending its wearability year-round.
