Kiwi-Green Long Brocade Drawstring Skirt from Gujarat with Flower Motifs All-Over and Pink Border

Description

There is a particular joy in a colour that refuses to be quiet, and this kiwi-green carries it with full confidence. Woven in the brocade tradition that Gujarat has long held close, the skirt works a dense field of flower motifs across art silk, a fabric that moves with a gentle luminosity and drapes without weight. The brocade technique, with its interlocked supplementary wefts, gives each bloom a slight relief against the ground, so the surface catches light differently as the wearer moves. A warm pink border runs the hem, a considered contrast that recalls the palette sensibility found in Gujarati textile work, where opposites are placed together not to startle but to satisfy. The drawstring waist, fitted to accommodate up to forty inches and falling to a generous forty-one-inch length, allows the skirt to sit comfortably through a long celebratory evening. Pair it with an ivory or cream chikankari kurta to let the green hold the conversation, or wear it with a block-printed cotton top in terracotta for a more relaxed, festive afternoon.
