The Lalika dress is a more tailored fit compared to our other styles. Please refer to the size chart.

Lalika presents a classic pinafore design made from beautifully hand-block printed cream fabric featuring a bright pink bloom bordered by an olive green vine printed in the traditional Buti style. Hand-crafted with a bustier-shaped corset and criss-cross open back flowing into an A-line midi length skirt, with a hip-to-bust zip in the middle of the back and cream cotton underlining for added comfort.

Material ~ 94% Cotton 6% Flex Shell. 100% Cotton Lining

Garment Care ~ We recommend a gentle, cold water hand wash using natural detergents, and hang drying in the shade. Handcrafted garments are delicate, however, designed to last when treated mindfully with love and care.

Ethically handmade with love in India, the creation of this garment serves to support local traditions and the preservation of the ancient artistry of hand-block printing.
