Motifs drawn in Kalamkari spans from flowers, peacock, paisleys to divine characters of Hindu epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana.

Comfort is my priority in a dress and this fabric is very comfortable. The colour is a bit dull but nevertheless looks earthy and beautiful. You might want to handle the fabric with care to make it last long. Go for it if you like a simple bohemian look and if you like soft fabrics on your skin.

The product is okayish.
I had ordered S size therefore I had used a knot on waist on get a look (Myself 34B & waist 29).
Fabric is thick and comfortable.
Myntra Customer –
I’m 5 ft 4.5 in tall, weigh 54 kg, have no “bulge” issues and fit into XS dresses quite easily.
When I tried on this dress, I was surprised to see how tight the sleeves felt and how awkward the fit was around my hips. Shift dresses are supposed to be a little easygoing but this one stuck to my body like nobody’s business.
Also, I’m pretty sure this fabric will shrink and bleed. So, I returned it.
