Anika Long Sleeve Dress
DESCRIPTION
The Anika dress combines playful elegance with versatility. Featuring charming puff sleeves, a smocked bodice, convenient side pockets, and a flattering midi length, it’s designed for effortless style. For a touch of drama, the sleeves can be pulled down for a shoulder-baring look. The dress showcases the vibrant art of Machilipatnam block prints from Andhra Pradesh, India. Unlike hand-painted Kalamkari, these intricate designs are created using carved teakwood blocks, with natural dyes like indigo and turmeric. Drawing from diverse cultural influences, the motifs beautifully blend geometric patterns, florals, and animal figures, adding a unique touch of artistry to this timeless piece.
