Handmade

Locally Made in Jaipur, India

Crafted from 100% premium organic cotton, the Tara Maxi Dress is hand block printed by skilled artisans in Jaipur. They press coral-red blooms and trailing vines onto a soft sage-green base one wooden block at a time. Subtle variations in the print make each piece quietly one of a kind.

The dress is lightweight and breathable, with a fitted empire bodice, a square neckline that ties at the front and short puff sleeves. The tiered skirt falls to the ankle in soft gathers and natural volume, so it moves easily with every step. It has an easy elegance that suits golden-hour walks, summer brunches and unhurried days.

  • Square neckline with a front tie

Product

What does “hand block printed” mean?

Each pattern is carved by hand into a wooden block. The printer dips the block in dye and presses it onto the fabric, one impression and one color at a time. A single piece can take hundreds of impressions.

It’s slow, skilled work that Jaipur has been famous for over generations, and it’s why no two pieces are exactly alike.

Will it look exactly like the photos?

Very close. Because every piece is printed and finished by hand, you may see small variations in color, print placement and texture. These are signs of handwork, not defects, and they make your piece one of a kind.

Screens also show colors a little differently, so the shade may vary slightly from what you see here.

Shipping

Do you ship worldwide, and how much is shipping?

Yes, we ship from Jaipur, India to most countries.

  • Free shipping on orders of US$150 or more (or the same amount in your currency)
  • Flat US$15 on smaller orders

You’ll see the exact cost for your address at checkout, before you pay.

When will my order arrive?

Your order leaves our studio in Jaipur within 1–2 business days. Delivery then usually takes:

  • US, Canada, UK, Europe and Australia: 4–9 business days
  • Rest of the world: 10–12 business days
Can I track my order?

Yes. Every order ships with a tracked, insured service: USPS, DHL or FedEx. We email your tracking link as soon as your package leaves Jaipur.

Will I pay customs duties or import taxes?

It depends on where you live. For many countries, including the UK, Canada and Australia, duties and taxes are worked out at checkout, so there’s nothing extra to pay at your door.

For other countries, your local customs office may charge import fees when the package arrives. These are set by your government, not by us.

Checkout is secure and encrypted, and we never see or store your card details.

Care

How do I wash it?
  • Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent
  • Wash separately for the first few washes
  • No bleach
  • Hang dry in the shade

Cotton gets softer with every wash.

Will the colors fade?

Natural dyes soften gently over time, giving your piece a lived-in, heirloom feel. They won’t bleed or fade suddenly with proper care.

To keep colors rich for longer, wash cold, skip the bleach and dry out of direct sun.
