The Artistry of Buna's White Midi Dress Collection
Leisurely Days Smock Dress
The Leisurely Days Smock Dress embodies the essence of simple living and artisanal craftsmanship. Crafted from unique seersucker fabric, this elegant midi dress features a hand-smocked bodice with a square neckline and delicate ruffled edges. The dreamy tiered silhouette is adorned with romantic patchwork flowers and vines, meticulously hand-embroidered by skilled artisans. The fabric, handwoven by our artisanal community in Bengal, India, ensures each piece is a unique work of art.
Made from 100% handwoven cotton seersucker fabric, the dress boasts a distinctive texture achieved through a meticulous handloom weaving process. Hand-smocking, floral embroidery patchwork, and delicate lace insert details on the shoulders showcase the artisans' skill and dedication. Additionally, it comes with a cotton slip dress to wear underneath, ensuring comfort and modesty. The subtle imperfections in the weave, texture, and colors are a natural outcome of handcrafted textiles, adding to the dress's unique charm.
To maintain its pristine condition, we recommend dry cleaning only to preserve the delicate fabric and intricate embroidery.

Caring for Your White Midi Dress
At Buna, we believe in creating garments that are not only beautiful but also built to last. To ensure your white midi dress remains a cherished piece in your wardrobe for years to come, we recommend following these care instructions:
- Gentle Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can damage the delicate fabrics and embroidery.
- Air Drying: Lay your dress flat or hang it to air dry, avoiding direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration.
- Proper Storage: When not in use, store your dress in a breathable garment bag or a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains or spills, gently blot the affected area with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing, as this can damage the fabric or cause the stain to spread.
