Maya Dress
There's a quiet ease to the way the Maya Dress moves — sleeves gathered into gentle puffs, cinched at the wrist with an elasticated cuff, scattered here and there with small hand-embroidered blooms. They don't sit in a straight line or a fixed pattern; they wander across the fabric the way flowers do when left to grow on their own. Each one is stitched by hand, finished with a tiny pearl at its centre, so no two ever quite look the same.
At the neckline, a fine trail of hand-strung pearls traces the scoop, catching the light in small, quiet moments. From there, the bodice gathers at the waist and opens into a long, tiered skirt — full and unhurried, made to move with you rather than hold you in place.
Woven in 100% Chanderi mul, a handloom fabric known for its light hand and breathable sheen, the Maya Dress is made the slow way — thread by thread, bead by bead, by hand.
Available in two shades — Heera Hara, a fresh, dewy green, and Jamuni, a muted lilac purple — each one carrying the same handwork, made with love under the label of Saloni Mathur.
