This is a maxi dress decorated with prints modelled after Mughal miniature paintings and reflects the preference for loud and bold prints during the 1970s. The maxi dress is typically high waisted, with wide flowy sleeves and a long flared skirt that reaches the ankle. It exudes a natural and ethnic aesthetic borrowed from the hippie culture of the 1960s.
