1970s Indian Block Print Maxi Wrap-Skirt

1970s Indian Block Print Cotton Wrap Skirt

A beautiful example of 1970s export fashion from India, this full-length wrap skirt features intricate traditional block printing in earthy tones of russet, black, and brick red on a soft beige base. The design includes bands of florals, dancing figures, and decorative borders—each likely applied with hand-carved wooden blocks, preserving centuries-old textile techniques.

Made from soft, breathable cotton, it ties at the waist and is highly adjustable. Depending on your size, the silhouette can change: voluminous and dramatic on a smaller frame (XS-S), sleeker and more streamlined when wrapped closer on a fuller figure (up to L).

Styled here with a denim vest for a modern twist, but it also pairs beautifully with simple cotton blouses, bodysuits, or cropped knits.

Measurements

• Waist: adjustable, 87cm circumference in total, but there needs to be some overlap in order to close the skirt fully. Waist measurement should be under 82cm for best fit.

• Length: 115cm
  

Care
