Robe from Uzbekistan

Kim and I both succumbed to the beautiful garments by Mukhayyo Aliyeva from Uzbekistan.

I bought this robe which is reversible.  The ikat side is silk and the lining is cotton.
"Mykhayyo revives forgotten Uzbek ikat patterns in traditional clothes made with local and natural materials.  Her work is incredibly colorful and bold, while still maintaining classic elegance.  Her silk dresses have unique and specialized embroidery and her scarves feature historical patterns.
