ARQ Cleo Leo (hand dyed)

This Cleo was dyed using Sappanwood (also known as Brazilwood). I dyed it twice in a very concentrated dye bath to get a dark burgundy. I love this piece as much as the marbled sappanwood Cleo, and wish the size S fit me! Approximate measurements: Bust: 13” Waist: 11” Hips: 14.25” Torso length: 25” This is part of an ARQ dye project so please see my closet for other pieces. All pieces are new/unworn. Make me an offer - I’d like to recover at least a small portion of the cost of the dye materials, but mostly it was a labor of love 😊 I’m dying them by hand, using natural plant dyes. The process involves a lot of soaking, simmering, stirring, and rinsing, and in some cases, this caused the ARQ logo to wear off, but all pieces are new and unworn. Natural dyes are usually not as colorfast or lightfast as chemical dyes. As with any ARQ pieces, wash by hand or in cold water on the delicate cycle and line dry. Do not line dry under direct sun.
