1970s Indian Cotton Gauze Peacock Tunic Dress

A breathtaking 1970s Indian cotton gauze tunic in the most beautiful shades of lavender, periwinkle, violet and soft turquoise. Printed throughout with stylised peacocks, florals and intricate border motifs, this piece perfectly captures the romantic, free-spirited aesthetic that made Indian cottons so beloved during the bohemian movement of the 1970s.

Cut in an oversized, flowing silhouette with generous gathers falling from the yoke, it can be worn in countless ways: as a blouse, a tunic, a mini dress, a beach cover-up, or belted at the waist for a more defined shape. The airy cotton gauze drapes beautifully and feels wonderfully light against the skin, making it an ideal summer piece.

The peacock motif is especially striking, appearing across the yoke, sleeves and hem border in a design that feels both whimsical and timeless. Billowing sleeves, a softly gathered neckline and the fluid silhouette give the piece a dreamy, almost folkloric quality.

A quintessential 1970s Indian cotton that looks just as beautiful thrown over denim as it does worn on its own on warm summer days.
