African Batik Shift Dress — Burgundy Starburst Print with Gold Guipure Lace Medallion Panel

Earth, fire, and gold — this hand-dyed batik shift dress is a statement of Nigerian craft at its most ceremonial. Deep burgundy, rust red, olive, and amber batik swirls around bold starburst rosette motifs and rhythmic dot grid bands, while a spectacular full-length gold guipure lace panel commands the centre front: large oval medallions interlocked with butterfly bows and intricate fretwork, framed by gold coin trim at the neckline and cuffs. A dress that needs no accessories.
