Hippie Gem: Vintage 70s Indian Dress - Old Indian Thin Cotton Hand-Stamped Dress

Crafted from lightweight and soft old Indian thin cotton, this piece embodies the spirit of the seventies hippie movement. Young people of that era were drawn to clothing with ethnic and mystical elements, leading to a surge in handmade, hand-stamped Indian dresses being imported into European and American markets. Distinctive differences can be easily observed between these vintage pieces and modern garments by examining the labels, dress styles, materials, and patterns. Those familiar with Indian dresses from the hippie era can readily identify them. - Beautiful hand-stamped floral fabric, waist tie with intact bells, and a flared skirt silhouette that's incredibly flattering! - Model measurements: 177cm / 68kg Flat measurements: To be added Made in India. - Gentle hand wash separately is recommended. Avoid wringing too forcefully; hang to dry away from direct sunlight. (Of course, minimizing washes will extend the garment's lifespan!) / **Hand-stamped items may exhibit slight misalignments in the pattern or incomplete motifs, which is entirely normal! These imperfections are precisely what give the stamped designs their unique, handcrafted character and high degree of authenticity. The dyes are typically derived from natural minerals and plants. Due to variations in climate conditions during the drying process, even the same dyes can result in subtle color differences, making each batch of fabric uniquely hued. Considering these factors, those with a perfectionist inclination may wish to reconsider.** 1. Indian stamped garments typically use natural plant and mineral dyes. Without chemical fixatives, some color release is inevitable during washing. Hand washing separately is strongly advised to ensure the longevity of the garment. If machine washing is necessary, please use a suitably sized laundry bag and wash with light-colored items only. However, this cannot guarantee the garment will remain unharmed. 2. This is a vintage item. Vintage products may show signs of wear, such as loose threads, minor stains, or small imperfections (any significant flaws will be noted in the description). If these do not detract from the overall appearance, they are considered acceptable. Please refrain from purchasing if you are a perfectionist. Feel free to message us with any questions about the item. 3. For embroidered items, please hand wash separately and do not soak. After washing, place in a laundry bag and spin dry in a washing machine before hanging to dry.
