Natalie denim dress

The Natalie is a full-length A-line dress in upcycled denim — box-pleated from the waist down so the skirt has structure and volume without crinoline. Two side pockets sit within the pleats, hidden and functional. It is the kind of dress that photographs well from any angle and moves beautifully when you walk. A considered piece for anyone who wants denim to feel special rather than casual.

Care instructions

• Machine wash cold (below 40°C) or gentle hand wash
• Wash separately for the first two washes — upcycled denim may release colour initially
• Hang to dry in shade. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading
• Iron on low heat if needed. Do not tumble dry

Sustainability
Each piece is reconstructed from upcycled denim — factory deadstock, defective rolls, or post-consumer fabric — diverting material that would otherwise go to landfill. Because the raw material varies with every batch, no two garments are identical. Minor differences in panel shade, placement, or texture are not flaws — they are the signature of the process. This is a limited-edition style: once the available fabric runs out, it is not reproduced.

About Doodlage
Doodlage is a Delhi-based zero-waste label that upcycles factory offcuts, deadstock, and post-consumer textiles into contemporary clothing. Every piece is made at a fair-wage, small-scale atelier — minimising waste at every step from the cutting table to the finished garment. Doodlage was founded on the belief that fashion can be radical without being wasteful.

Delivery
Each piece is thoughtfully prepared and shipped with care. Please allow 10–15 working days for delivery. As these are made from limited raw material, we recommend securing your size early.
