Meadows Chanderi Shirt Dress

Crafted from 100% handwoven Chanderi, this Meadows Shirt Dress is azo-free dyed in a soft light blue colour.

This maxi-length shirt dress is enhanced with thoughtful details, including ruching at the waist, gathers at the shoulders, and balloon sleeves that cinch into the cuffs. The collar, placket and sleeves are lined with hand-painted Mulmul piping. Horizontal knife pleats, embellished with Kantha embroidery, add to the texture of the fabric.

The sheer fabric, featuring soft gathers and cinched elements, creates a flowy, feminine silhouette that defines this design.
