What makes this cami dress different
The Cotton Cami Dress Indigo is a floaty 100% organic cotton knit dress that has been tie-dyed in an indigo dye bath. The result is a brighter blue than the navy colourway shown in some model photos. It is designed for hot, humid summers and works equally well for lounging at home or heading out.
This dress is cut so the straps cover a standard bra, and it can be worn on its own as a top or teamed up with matching Thunderpants for a coordinated set. Because the indigo dye can transfer, the first few washes need a little extra care.

Ways to wear the Cotton Cami Dress Indigo
- On its own as a summer dress: The lightweight knit and loose cut keep you cool on hot days. The indigo blue pairs well with sandals or sneakers for a casual look.
- As a top with Thunderpants bottoms: Team the dress with matching Thunderpants for a coordinated set that is especially comfortable for sleeping or lounging around the house.
- Layered over leggings or shorts: For cooler days or extra coverage, wear the dress over leggings or bike shorts. The floaty shape works well as a tunic-length layer.
- Under a jacket or cardigan: The dress can be worn as a long top under an open cardigan or denim jacket, making it suitable for transitional weather.
Care for the indigo dye
Because the dress is tie-dyed with indigo, the first few washes require separate handling. Wash it alone or with similar dark colours using a cold machine wash and a gentle detergent. Do not soak or bleach the fabric, as this can affect the vibrant colours. After washing, hang the dress on the line to dry rather than using a drier.
Following this routine will help preserve the indigo colour and the life of the organic cotton knit. Once the dye has set after several washes, you can wash the dress with other darks.
