Midi-skirt with Printed Flowers Embellished with Sequins
Gentle hand-wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid soaking. Iron on medium heat while slightly damp.
Description
There is a particular joy in a skirt that moves before you do. Printed with blooms that carry the easy exuberance of a garden in full colour, this midi-skirt is finished with hand-scattered sequins that catch light the way dew holds it, briefly and beautifully. The fabric is a fluid rayon, chosen for the way it drapes close to the body and breathes through warm afternoons with equal grace. Floral block and screen printing traditions have long flourished across Rajasthan and Gujarat, and this piece honours that spirit of surface decoration, translated here into something thoroughly contemporary. The sequin embellishment adds a festive shimmer without overwhelming the softness of the print, making it equally suited to a sunlit market morning or an evening gathering that calls for a little quiet drama. Fifteen colours are offered, from the deep introspection of Caviar Black and Grape Wine to the unapologetic brightness of Carrot and Banana Yellow. Pair it with a simple cotton kurta tucked loosely at the front, or wear it with a fitted blouse and kolhapuri sandals for an evening that feels both effortless and considered.

Behind this piece
The floral motif has long been a favourite vocabulary of Indian textile artists, appearing across block-printed cottons from Bagru, embroidered silks from Lucknow, and the painted scrolls of Pattachitra. This midi-skirt draws on that same grammar of bloom and repetition, rendering it onto fluid rayon through screen printing, then lifting each flower with hand-placed sequins. The result sits between a craft tradition and a contemporary silhouette. Across fifteen colourways, from deep Grape Wine to pale Star White, the pattern reads differently each time, the way a garden changes hour to hour.
How to style
For a daytime gathering, pair the Amaranth Purple or Wild Aster colourway with a crisp ivory cotton kurti and block-heeled kolhapuris. Come evening, the Caviar Black or Grape Wine skirt earns a silk or chanderi blouse in ivory or champagne, worn with silver oxidised earrings from Rajasthan. For a more contemporary diaspora occasion, a fitted ribbed turtleneck in cream, tucked loosely at the waist, and strappy tan sandals give the floral print room to speak for itself. A beaded potli in gold completes any of these three readings with quiet coherence.
Fabric & care
Rayon is a regenerated cellulose fibre: cool, breathable, and flattering in drape, but temperamental when wet. Hand wash this skirt in cold water using a gentle detergent, keeping agitation minimal to protect the sequin embellishment. Never wring or twist the fabric. Roll the skirt in a clean dry towel to absorb moisture, then hang in shade away from direct sun, which fades sequin lustre over time. Iron on low heat through a pressing cloth. Store folded loosely, not compressed beneath heavier garments, to keep the sequins intact and the print vivid across many wearings.
