A light and luminous expression of our reversible halter neck dress, this one-of-a-kind piece transforms a reclaimed sari into two distinct looks.
One side features a soft ivory chiffon, scattered with delicate embroidered motifs in warm red, orange and green tones for a subtle, intricate finish.
Reverse it to reveal a vibrant turquoise chiffon, accented with soft ivory panels and metallic gold floral and vine embellishment. The ornate detailing becomes more concentrated through one side of the dress, adding depth and character to the flowing silhouette.
The softly gathered halter neckline ties at the back and falls into a relaxed, floor-length silhouette, allowing the lightweight chiffon to move beautifully with the body.

One-of-One Craftsmanship
Every Sari for Change garment is entirely one-of-one.
Crafted from reclaimed heritage textiles, each piece carries its own history, character, and unique markings. Variations in weave, embroidery, texture, colour, and minor imperfections are part of the beauty of the regenerative process and should not be considered faults.
These characteristics are a reflection of the textile's journey and make each garment impossible to replicate.
