1970s Ritu Kumar for Rosafi Indian Blockprint Cotton Prairie Summer Dress

 A beautiful and increasingly collectible example of late 1970s Indian export fashion by Ritu Kumar for Rosafi.

Crafted from soft cotton in a delicate cornflower blue floral print, this dress represents a softer and more romantic side of Indian cotton fashion than many of the bold graphic block prints associated with the era. The intricate floral motif has an almost Liberty-inspired quality, blending Indian textile traditions with the prairie and folk influences that became so popular throughout Europe and North America during the 1970s.

The dress features a flattering square neckline, softly puffed sleeves, a fitted bodice with button-front closure and an original self-tie belt that allows the waist to be adjusted to suit the wearer. The gathered skirt creates beautiful movement while remaining wonderfully easy and comfortable to wear.

The perfect vintage summer dress for those who love the romance of prairie dressing but prefer something lighter and easier than a full-length maxi. A charming and highly wearable piece that captures the spirit of 1970s bohemian fashion while remaining timeless today.
