Pipal Leaf Print Dress

Pipal Leaf Print Dress

This simple but stunning swing dress is so beautiful in its simplicity. The gorgeous leaf print is the Pipal tree leaf, also known as a ‘sacred fig’ tree, which is very famous in Nepal and revered in Hinduism and Buddhism as Buddha is believed to have achieved enlightenment under a Pipal tree. The print is done by hand in a traditional manner, and as such each dress is unique as the print varies a tiny bit each time.

The dress is a simple A line shape, and the fabric is cut on the bias for slight stretch in the fit and a beautiful drape. The hem is trimmed with extra cotton and stitching to ensure a beautiful shape that hangs perfectly. There are also pockets at the hips for all your essentials. Available in either natural unbleached cotton with green print, or a lush green naturally dyed cotton with dark green print. The most easy to wear comfortable dress that is classical and stylish.
