Part of the bandhani collection, the 6>1 maxi dress is 1 of 10 pieces that creates 25+ looks and the ultimate vacay capsule. This handmade beauty is hand-tied and dyed with plant based madder root in India, made of 100% handwoven banana fabric, and only produced in small-batches in NYC.

Below are 7 ways you can rock the 6>1 maxi, as well as a short video showing you how to string and restring the dress to create all the looks. Don't be afraid to get creative and make your own look (tag-us on social with #6>1challenge so we can see your new creations as well!)

Our model in all the pictures below is 5'6, size 4, and rocking the xs/s 6>1 maxi dress.
