Ruché Dress – Ruched Modal Maxi Dress, Terracotta | Anushé Pirani

The Ruché Dress is a floor-length modal maxi in the Gentle Giant print, offered here in terracotta. It is ruched and draped through the waist and hip so the fabric gathers rather than hangs flat, with striped side panels set in for contrast and a mid-thigh slit for movement. This is the occasion dress in the range — cut slim, lined throughout, and closed with a concealed back zip.

FAQs

Is the ruching forgiving on sizing?

The draping across the waist and hip gives a little give, but the dress is cut slim overall. If you are between sizes, take the larger one.

How high is the slit?

It reaches mid-thigh — enough to walk and climb stairs comfortably, without being a high thigh slit.

Can I wash it at home?

No. The natural dyes and modal sheen need dry cleaning; soaking or machine washing will dull both.

Will my dress look exactly like the photographs?

Very close, but not identical. Hand-done ajrakh means the print placement and depth of colour shift slightly from piece to piece.
