The Ballad Dress is a Nikki Chasin classic that's equal parts conversation starter and everyday comfort. This artful dress works for all occasions, and now you can even wear it in tie dye! Its voluminous, relaxed fit, gathered detailing, side pockets and lightweight cotton make it breezy enough to wear all day. Or try a little nap—we won't tell. This traditional tie dye technique, called 'bandhani' named from the Sanskrit word band (to tie) uses a legume between the thread ties. Due to the hand dyed nature of these garments, they may have some irregularities, small color stains and tonal variations. These differences make each piece unique and should not be seen as defects.
