flattering dresses

Prismatic colors are splashed across 100% silk, creating an eye-catching maxi dress. Sandip Agarwal of India designs the dress in shades of black, blue, white, pink, and purple. The dress features adjustable spaghetti straps and a side slit for comfort. An elastic waist offers a shapely fit.

Isha Jain celebrates India's textile and fashion legacies with the gorgeous design of this tunic. In cool turquoise blue, the tunic is sewn of chanderi, in which a 100% silk warp is combined with a 100% cotton weft, resulting in crisp, glossy sheer textures. Jain masters hand-block printing techniques in green, blue and black to adorn the tunic with floral and leafy patterns. Green silk taping trims the cuffs and hemline. Featuring lateral side slits and three-quarter length sleeves, the tunic is lined with cotton.

Named after a city in Madhya Pradesh, chanderi fabrics can be traced back to Vedic times; however, it was not until the 1970's that the cotton and silk blend fabric was developed.

Please note that due to the nature of the raw yarn used for weaving, chanderi textures are somewhat crisp.

Fresh and stylish, this shift dress from Sandip Agarwal goes anywhere with ease. The dress is sewn of smooth vanilla-hued silk, detailed with stitching at neckline and cuffs in graphite grey. The flattering dress flows freely from a gathered yoke, and a squared neckline frames the face. Three-quarter length sleeves complete the artisan's original design.

Semi-sheer; we recommend that a camisole or slip be worn underneath the dress.
