Vienna Dress

The Vienna is a tiered, ankle-length cotton-silk dress made for movement: the blend has a soft, fluid drape that swings with every step, while the gathered skirt adds easy volume without any weight.

A ruched elastic neckline and short, wide raglan sleeves keep it breathable and effortless, and the quilted floral petal belt lets you cinch the waist or leave it loose. It's hand screen printed, artisan-made resort wear that works just as well for slow weekends as it does for travel.

Materials

Fabric: Cotton/silk blend, lined in 100% cotton

Made: Made in India. The fabric is hand screen printed in Bagru by a family of seventh-generation master printers, who use screens, frames and dye to transfer each design by hand. Screens are used in place of blocks for larger prints or prints prone to inconsistencies, and the process draws on mineral-rich water, sunlight, plants and earth at various stages.

Sustainability: Ethically made slow fashion, crafted with artisan partners in rural India. MIRTH designs with azo-free or natural dyes and natural or recycled fibers, and donates a portion of every sale to Sneh Girls Shikshan Sansthan, an all-girls school in Jaipur.

Care

Hand wash in cold water with pH-neutral soap, do not bleach, hang to dry, warm iron if needed or professional dry clean.

Styled by LADDER

Layer an open cardigan over the Vienna on cooler days, then add flat leather sandals or ankle boots and let the belt do the finishing work.
