Frequently Asked Questions
Do your dresses have lining and pockets?
Most of our styles come with both lining and pockets. For exact details, check the Features & Fit section on each product page.
For styles without lining, it's simply because they don't need it. We use high-quality, tightly woven cotton that isn't see through - so you get comfort and coverage without the extra layer.
What makes Hi Handmade cotton better?
Hi Handmade 200 Thread Count cotton is better on your skin — unlike fast fashion cotton that’s often chemically treated, blended with polyester and lower quality.
200 Thread Count cotton uses a luxurious 92x104 weave, making it softer, smoother, and longer-lasting than fast fashion cotton, which is usually just 60x60. The higher thread count means more yarns per inch - giving your better comfort, breathability, softness, and overall quality you can feel.

How do I care for my Hi Handmade pieces?

Caring for cotton simple:
- Machine wash in cold water
- Use mild detergent, avoid harsh chemicals
- Line dry in shade to preserve the prints
- Skip the tumble dryer to keep the cotton soft & breathable
Bonus: Our luxurious Indian cotton gets softer with every wash, so your favourite pieces only get better over time.
