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.

Loved the dress!

Pretty, very comfortable, lightweight, perfect for warm weather. As an older woman, I like a little bit of sleeve, and this slightly longer length. More like this please!

Sunny Day

The colors in this garment make me smile and imagine blue skies and sunshine even if it's gray outside. The handkerchief hemline, slightly tapered bodice and v-neckline give this dress a slightly dressier look without sacrificing comfort in the least. I'm considering the purchase of a second one to have when I wear the first one out!

versatile and cool

This dress works well over tights or on its own for hot, hot days.
Accessories change it from casual sporty to businesslike, and the colors are great to highlight with scarves.
