1970s Adini Indian Cotton Gauze Block Print Summer Dress

 A beautiful and increasingly collectible 1970s Adini Indian cotton gauze dress in the brand’s unmistakable romantic bohemian aesthetic. Crafted from wonderfully soft crinkled cotton gauze, this feminine summer dress features a delicate mix of floral block prints in bubblegum pink, lilac and powder blue, finished with intricate gold metallic printed borders and the iconic Art Nouveau-inspired floral border that has become synonymous with Adini’s most sought-after designs.

The relaxed bodice falls into a softly dropped waist before opening into a beautifully full, tiered skirt with wonderful movement. Lightweight, breathable and effortlessly wearable, it is the perfect summer dress—equally at home barefoot on holiday, styled with sandals for everyday wear, or layered with boots and knitwear through the cooler months.

The cotton has softened beautifully over time, giving the dress the relaxed drape and character that only genuine vintage pieces possess.

Material

Soft crinkled Indian cotton gauze with metallic gold printed detailing.

Condition

Good vintage condition. Gently worn with beautifully softened cotton. There is gentle fading to the bodice and shoulders, particularly around the sleeves, likely from age and sun exposure. This blends naturally into the design and gives the dress an authentic, timeworn character. No major flaws noted.
