This striking vintage dress from Sindh, Pakistan, showcases the region’s renowned textile artistry through dazzling mirrorwork embroidery (shisha) on a richly dyed base. The bodice and sleeves are densely adorned with geometric mirror insets, chain-stitch embroidery, and floral motifs, worked in bold jewel tones on ochre, orange, and cobalt panels. The lower portion of the dress is a deep maroon cotton, finely detailed with vertical bands of white bead-like embroidery and green piping, adding balance and elegance to the heavily adorned upper half.
