1970s Indian Block Print Cotton Dress with Empire Cut

A beautifully worn-in 1970s block print Indian cotton dress with a softly structured empire cut and generous, flowing silhouette. The dress is crafted from cotton that has gently softened over time, giving it an easy, lived-in feel that only comes with age and wear. It features traditional Indian-inspired block printed motifs throughout, anchored by a striking contrasting yoke and border panels that frame the neckline and hem. The cut is relaxed through the body, with gathered volume falling from the high waist, creating movement and ease while remaining flattering and wearable. The sleeves are full and softly shaped, adding to the romantic, folk-inspired feel of the piece. There is some light fading to the cotton, consistent with age and use, which only adds to the character and patina of the fabric without distracting from the overall impression. A timeless, versatile dress that works effortlessly year-round, worn loose and simple in warmer months or layered with boots, knits and outerwear as the seasons change.

Condition: Very good vintage condition with gentle fading and softening to the cotton, consistent with age
