My new favorite dress!

Product picture

Could not be more pleased! It arrived sooner than expected, fits true to size, was even packaged beautifully! Makes me feel like I am wearing a hand-crafted custom made dress. The picture does not do it justice. The details, including the beading are beautiful. Super pleased!

Thank You Seema Shah

I wanted a dress made of subtly-patterned rayon, with long sleeves, midi length. None of my usual sources had anything even close. Same with trying to find a pattern and fabric to sew it myself. Along came a Novica catalog with this Celestial Day dress by Seema Shah. It looked perfect! I was amazed how quickly it arrived from India. The dress is as pictured. The rayon fabric has a lovely drape plus an interesting dobby texture. I love the side pockets. The lining is a nice touch. The background color is great and the print is subtle and pretty. There is embroidery on the front yoke which coordinates nicely with the fabric. I am 72 and it looks and feels great on me. I would have loved it at age 22!

One of my favorite pieces

I wasn't sure I would wear this much when I ordered it. I'm not a dress-wearer per se. As it turned out, I wouldn't actually wear it as a dress because it's very thin and lightweight. But this has become one of my go-to's as a coverup before or after a shower, stepping outside early in the morning to water plants, or even as a nightgown. Loose and non-binding, cool cotton in a very pretty print and shell buttons.
