Cascade Dress – High-Low Modal Dress, Indigo | Anushé Pirani

The Cascade Dress is a high-low hem dress cut in modal silk and carrying the Fluttergarden print in indigo. Three-quarter sleeves and a back tie-up keep the shape easy, while the uneven hem lets the skirt move as you walk. It suits daytime events as readily as an evening out.

FAQs

How long is the dress?

It is a high-low cut, so there is no single length — the front hem sits higher than the back. On a 5 ft 7.5 in model in XS the back hem falls well below the knee.

Does the back tie-up need someone else’s help?

No. The dress slips on over the head and the tie fastens behind the neckline, which most people can reach comfortably on their own.

Is modal silk warm to wear?

Modal is a light, fluid cellulosic fabric that drapes rather than clings, so it wears well in Indian summers. The cotton voile lining adds coverage without much weight.

Can I machine wash it?

No. Dry clean only — machine washing will dull the natural dyes used in the Ajrakh print.
