Kalamkari:
The word Kalamkari is derived from a Persian word where 'kalam' means pen and 'kari' refers to craftsmanship. Initially Kalamkari fabrics were hand painted but today wooden carved blocks are used. Kalamkari textiles were a prized trading commodity throughout Asia and Europe for hundreds of years. This traditional art has survived among dedicated artisans in southern India who follow the age–old techniques and natural dye recipes of this painstaking process. The process can involve 23 steps each requiring precision and an eye for detailing.

This one is a beauty

I get more comments on this one than any other of the 30 dresses I have bought from Marketplace. Clear, clean dye work, lovely embroidery, simple fit. Just the thing to throw on and go about your day. A keeper.

I really loved this dress now that fall has arrived and the colors are beautiful. The quality is also excellent, sizing true or slightly larger but very comfortable. I got many compliments at work as well!
