A rich expression of silk and botanical detail, this off-shoulder dress is crafted from a repurposed vintage silk sari in a deep plum tone. The fluid silk has a soft lustre, allowing the intricate woven floral borders to emerge beautifully as the garment moves.
The sari’s original border has been intentionally preserved and positioned across the lower silhouette and sleeves, revealing layers of delicate florals and ornamental detailing in muted rose and gold tones. Voluminous balloon sleeves add softness and shape, while the gathered neckline allows the dress to be worn on or off the shoulder.

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.
