Chanderi Dresses

A Chanderi dress begins with the cloth, not the cut. Chanderi is handwoven in the town of Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh with a silk warp that gives strength and sheen, and a cotton weft that lets the fabric breathe. Fine zari, where it is used, decides how much light the surface holds. That balance is why a Chanderi dress can feel composed at the bodice and still move like air at the hem.

Our Chanderi dresses are cut in two families of cloth: silk-linen Chanderi for warm days and daytime ceremonies, and silk zari tissue Chanderi for festive evenings, sangeet nights and weddings. Every piece is made in a limited run, many of them made to order, so the dress is cut for you rather than pulled from surplus stock.
