Hippie Gem Vintage 70s Old Indian Handmade Block Print Dress

A light and soft vintage Indian thin cotton piece, popular among hippies in the seventies. Young people back then loved clothing with ethnic and mystical elements, hence, handmade block print dresses from India were widely imported into European and American markets at the time. Generally, the label, dress style, material, and pattern design, can be clearly distinguished from modern products. For those who frequently follow Indian dresses produced in the hippie era, the distinction is even easier to make! - An elegant and beautiful natural block print color, with well-preserved gold printing, a traditional Indian dyeing and printing craft! Different patterns are spliced at the chest and hem, the chest ties are intact. A very beautiful and special color, a gentle combination of blue and purple, the sleeves are puffy with elasticated cuffs, lantern sleeves~ A 70s vintage block print dress truly worth collecting! - Size label L Flat measurements: Bust 51 cm Hips 76 cm Length 110 cm - Washing instructions: Gentle hand wash separately, do not wring too forcefully, hang to dry (avoid direct sunlight). (Of course, please minimize washing frequency to extend the garment's lifespan!) / Hand block prints will naturally have misaligned patterns or incomplete designs; this is normal! The charm of block prints lies in these unique, handcrafted imperfections, which give them a high degree of authenticity. The dyes are typically made from natural minerals/plants, and even with the same dye, color variations can occur depending on the climate conditions during drying. Therefore, each batch of fabric has its own unique hue. Considering these factors, perfectionists should think twice! 1. Indian block print garments are usually dyed with natural plant and mineral dyes. They are not chemically fixed after dyeing, so some color will inevitably bleed during washing. Hand washing separately is strongly recommended to ensure the longevity of the garment~ If machine washing is necessary, please use a suitably sized laundry bag and wash separately from light-colored items, but we cannot guarantee the garment will not be affected! 2. This is a vintage item. Vintage items have signs of wear consistent with their age, and may have loose threads, minor stains, or small holes (any significant flaws will be noted in the description). Within a range that does not affect the overall appearance, these are considered acceptable. Perfectionists, please refrain from purchasing!

After washing, place in a laundry bag and spin in the washing machine before hanging to dry.
