Elastic Long Skirt with Floral Print
Gentle hand-wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid soaking. Iron on medium heat while slightly damp.
Description
Some florals carry the memory of a garden; this one carries the ease of an unhurried afternoon. Rendered in soft rayon, this long skirt draws on the block-print and screen-print traditions that have long flourished across Rajasthan and Jaipur's textile clusters, where artisans translate seasonal blooms into repeating motifs with confident, practised hands. The fabric breathes well against warm skin, falling in gentle drape that moves with the wearer rather than against her. An elasticated waist, cut generously to accommodate up to forty-two inches, ensures the skirt is as comfortable at a long family gathering as it is on a slow evening at home. Available in twelve distinct colourways, from the cool restraint of Horizon Blue and Snorkel Blue to the festive warmth of Magenta and Rococo Red, there is a mood here for every temperament and season. Pair it with a crisp white cotton kurta for a daytime outing, or layer it beneath a sheer embroidered dupatta for a gathering that calls for something a little more considered.

Behind this piece
Floral prints on fluid fabrics carry a long memory in India. Block-printed and screen-printed textiles have moved through the bazaars of Jaipur, Bagru, and Sanganer for centuries, translating garden imagery into wearable form. Rayon, though a modern fibre, honours that tradition of drape-first dressing, the kind that moves with the body rather than against it. The floral motifs on this skirt echo the botanical vocabularies found on older printed cottons, translated now into a contemporary silhouette with an elastic waist that requires nothing of you except ease.
How to style
For daytime ease, pair the Aqua Green or Horizon Blue with a white cotton or khadi kurta and flat Kolhapuri chappals. Come evening, the Magenta or Red Plum reads beautifully against a fitted black blouse, finished with oxidised silver jhumkas. For a festive occasion without formality, choose the Rococco Red or Earth Red, layer with a sheer embroidered dupatta in ivory, and add block-heeled juttis in metallic leather. The elastic waist accommodates layering generously, making this skirt genuinely versatile across seasons, occasions, and styling philosophies.
Fabric & care
Rayon is a regenerated fibre with a refined, silk-like surface that responds poorly to rough handling. Hand wash in cold water using a gentle, ph-neutral detergent, and never wring or twist the fabric. Lay flat to dry in shade, away from direct sunlight, which can lift and alter the print colours over time. Iron on low heat while the fabric is slightly damp, using a pressing cloth if possible. Store folded loosely, not compressed, and keep away from prolonged moisture. Treated with this small degree of care, the print and drape will hold their integrity season after season.
