Hardwear Highlight: Dungaree Dress
With tradeshows on hold, Carved in Blue is putting its capsule collection out one digital post at a time.
This week, we’re highlighting the TENCEL(TM) Lyocell Dungaree Dress.
Many types of workwear garments have been adapted into other garments —none more so the dungaree or the overall—which for the last 20/30 years has seen been made into fashionable garments, from dresses to aprons.
Dungaree’s name originates in India, where dungaree was a hard-wearing fabric. Adopted by the British, the name for the fabric became the name of the garment.
Key characteristics of a dungaree are a bib, which is on the apron, fixed to the pants which covers the chest, giving protection and shelter to the upper body.
Most have straps on the back attaching to the front bib.
The dungaree can be considered the archetype of workwear: the one garment which is the “one go-to” all considered the benchmark of protection, while keeping underneath from dirt, wear and tear.
During the both world wars, overalls and dungarees became symbols of hope and consistency.
Blue Diamond Mills in China was chosen for this garment. The fabric content being: 54% cotton, 24% TENCEL™ Lyocell, 15% recycled poly, 6% T400 and 1% spandex.
