1970s Indian Red and Black Sheer Silk Hand Block Print Dress MRS Couture

Ritu Kumar for Judith Ann. Beautiful floral print sheer silk bishop-sleeved dress.  Square neckline, flowy midi, with a gathered drop waist.  Comes with a coordinating belt. Dress is a wonderful representation of the direction many western design houses took in the 1960s and 1970s, blending traditional Asian design elements including pattern, color, and silhouette with their western designs. Ritu Kumar was integral to introducing mainstream Americans to Indian design.
