sheer dress

Golden beadwork and sequins cover the yoke of this opulent halter top by Vijay Singh. It takes its colors from the ancient art of shibori, a tie-dying technique that originated in Japan. Block print paisley motifs cover the sheer chiffon top. Beautiful and versatile, it can be paired with leggings or worn alone as a very short dress.

Designed for a loose, flowing fit.

Capturing the unique elegance of the region, talented Indian artisans create a splendid design full of intricate details. Vijay Singh's newest kimono is made from sheer, delicate viscose and lurex textiles, allowing for a beautiful drape that flows gracefully, displaying the exquisite floral print that embellishes the fabric with its palette of orange, fuchsia and pink hues. Luminous sequins are hand-stitched around the neckline, shoulders, cuffs and placket, adding a radiant touch to the garment, whose golden belt completes it perfectly.

Isha Jain celebrates India's textile and fashion legacies with the gorgeous design of this tunic. In cool turquoise blue, the tunic is sewn of chanderi, in which a 100% silk warp is combined with a 100% cotton weft, resulting in crisp, glossy sheer textures. Jain masters hand-block printing techniques in green, blue and black to adorn the tunic with floral and leafy patterns. Green silk taping trims the cuffs and hemline. Featuring lateral side slits and three-quarter length sleeves, the tunic is lined with cotton.

Named after a city in Madhya Pradesh, chanderi fabrics can be traced back to Vedic times; however, it was not until the 1970's that the cotton and silk blend fabric was developed.

Please note that due to the nature of the raw yarn used for weaving, chanderi textures are somewhat crisp.
