Tahira Dress
Sep 18, 2020
By Ann Morrison
I am so happy with everything I have from Marketplace, India. This dress is no different. The material is soft and has a delicious feel to it. It feels SO good in our hot summers we're having in southern California right now. The movement of the dress material keep air flowing around me and keeps me cool. There's a good reason people who live in hot climates wear billowy clothing and long sleeves! But, even more, the detail of the print is beautiful. The dots of colors zing out and are very striking, and the embroidery adds a special final touch. People comment on the dress often. I have three long dresses from Marketplace India, and I wear them all the time.

The fabric, the colors, the stitching, the embroidery, the pattern of the dress are all of such fine quality- this is something not usually found in ready-made clothes. Well worth the price, especially knowing that I am supporting artisans and a good cause.
