Violet Garden — Bagru Block Print Midi Shirt Dress

Bagru jaal on mauve. A collar that shows its lining. Cuffs worth noticing.

Violet Garden is a midi shirt dress in Bagru hand block printed cotton — a dense all-over jaal of vining stems, white lotus flowers, blue botanical details, and lighter pink secondary blooms on a mauve-orchid purple ground. The collar is a full shirt collar that opens to a V. When worn open, the contrast-lined inner face of the collar shows — a lighter, complementary print on the underside. The 3/4 sleeves gather slightly before a structured cuff band that also carries a contrast facing. Two design details. Both visible only when you look closely. Both deliberate.

• Shirt collar with contrast-lined inner face — visible when collar is worn open
• 3/4 sleeves with structured cuff + contrast cuff facing
• Dense all-over Bagru jaal floral in multi-colour on mauve-orchid cotton
• Relaxed A-line silhouette — falls from shoulder, no fitted waist
• Centre back box pleat for ease of movement
• Side seam pockets — confirmed
• Front button placket — self-fabric or tonal buttons
• Midi length — falls just below the knee

The mauve-orchid ground is versatile — it reads festive enough for a daytime event, and understated enough for a dressed-up daily wear. Pair with clear heel mules (as shown) for a polished look, or with tan kolhapuris for a more Indian-everyday feel. A small black crossbody or chain bag (as shown) keeps it clean. The print does the work. The collar detail rewards the look closer.

Fabric

100% Cotton — breathable, easy to wear all day. The Bagru block print uses multiple blocks — each colour (the blue stems, the white flowers, the pink secondary blooms) is applied separately, one block at a time. The jaal pattern is a dense, interlocking vine design that covers the full surface of the fabric.

Craft

Bagru Hand Block Print, Rajasthan. The Bagru jaal is one of the more complex block printing techniques — the dense, interlocking vine pattern requires precise repeat registration across multiple colour applications. Each block is hand-pressed by a craftsperson. The slight variation in print registration is the mark of the human hand.

The Collar & Cuff Detail

The inner face of the collar and the cuff facing are cut from a contrast print — a lighter or differently coloured version of the Bagru print. When the collar is worn open, this inner face becomes visible, creating a quiet layering effect. The cuff facing shows at the sleeve's end, connecting both details. Small design choices. Consistent execution.

Care

Hand wash cold. Wash separately first time — the multi-colour Bagru print may bleed slightly. Do not wring. Dry flat in shade. Iron on reverse on medium heat. Do not bleach.

100% cotton — Bagru hand block printed. The mauve-orchid ground is achieved through a base dye application before block printing begins. The jaal is then applied in multiple passes — blue-green stems, white flowers, pink secondary motifs — each requiring a separately carved block pressed by hand. The resulting layered print has depth and variation that a single-pass screen print does not. Gets softer with every wash.

The dress is complete on its own — the Bagru jaal and the mauve ground mean no additional colour or print is needed. Clear heel mules (as shown) and a small black chain crossbody keep it polished. Tortoiseshell sunglasses pick up the warm tones in the mauve. For a more relaxed Indian-everyday look: tan kolhapuris instead, and carry nothing or a simple jute bag. The collar worn open is the preferred styling — it lets the contrast lining show. Keep the collar closed only if the occasion is more formal.

WASH CARE

Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Wash separately in the first wash — the multi-colour Bagru print (particularly the blue-green and mauve) may bleed slightly. Do not wring or twist. Dry flat in shade. Iron on the reverse side on medium heat. Pay attention to the collar and cuff facings — press from the inside to preserve the contrast detail. Do not bleach.
