Aphrodite Silk Dress - Iron-Mud Brown
The iron-mud brown Aphrodite maxi dress is crafted from 100% pure mulberry silk. It is naturally mud dyed using Indonesia’s traditional plant-and-mineral process — honouring one of the archipelago’s oldest textile crafts without synthetic dyes.
This iron-mud dyed Aphrodite dress offers both: the elegance of traditional brown silk and movement of a modern cut. Adjustable ribbons wrap around the neck so you can wear the halter neckline high or deep. Because the ribbons are long, they trail like a silk scarf with each step, creating fluid motion and quiet grace.
The cut of this natural mud dye silk gown is intentional. The front hem is slightly shorter while the sides gently lengthen, giving the dress a sculpted yet relaxed silhouette. Raw-silk fringe adds delicate texture at the V-neckline, and a low open back brings an elegant, feminine finish.
Mud Dye Technique & Heritage
Mud dyeing is one of the oldest natural dye methods in the world. For this dress, colour comes from iron-rich soil, water, rice-starch, and plant tannins — all completely natural. This traditional Indonesian method ties colour to craft and land, creating an iron mud brown that makes the silk dress feel alive yet grounded.
