Joyful Blockprinted Cotton Pastel Blue Long Dress (Last Piece Available)

What does the floral print look like?

The pale aqua base is covered with a dense print of pink and teal flowers and leaves. Because the print is so full, the dress looks lively and bright, with very little plain ground showing. It suits anyone who enjoys cheerful colour in a hand block print.

What are the design details?

The dress has buttons down the front and a gathered waist that lets the skirt fall loosely. It is 44 inches long with three-quarter sleeves, which gives a relaxed, easy fit that works for a full day out.

Where can I wear the Joyful dress?

Its natural home is summer and travel, from city breaks to hot afternoons. It also works for the office, for kitty parties and brunches, and even for a mehndi, where its pink and teal florals fit right in with the colour around you.

How can I make it office-ready?

Add a white or beige linen jacket or a light shrug, keep jewellery small, and wear closed flats or loafers. A structured tote helps too. The dense floral print then reads as smart casual rather than holiday wear.

What footwear and jewellery suit it?

Kolhapuris, juttis or simple flats keep it easy for summer days and travel. Silver or oxidised jhumkas pick up the cool teal, while pink stones echo the flowers. For a mehndi, add bangles and statement earrings, and keep the bag small so the dense floral print stays the focus.

How should I care for it?

Handwash gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, as hand block-printed colours can bleed. Avoid long soaks and dry it in the shade to keep the pink and teal from fading. Iron on medium heat from the reverse.
