1970s Kaiser Indian Block Print Cotton Maxi Kaftan Dress

A striking and highly collectible original 1970s block print cotton maxi dress by Kaiser, made in Pakistan — a label known for its beautifully constructed and richly patterned pieces.

This dress is a standout example of the era, featuring a dynamic mix of traditional block print motifs arranged in contrasting panels, almost creating a bias-cut visual effect. The deep burgundy tones are balanced with navy and warm neutral prints, giving the piece depth and movement.

 The silhouette is relaxed and flowing, with wide sleeves and a softly draped body that skims rather than clings. The generous cut makes it both comfortable and versatile, while the full maxi length adds drama and presence.

An effortless statement piece — easy to wear, yet visually striking and highly collectible.
