The Amrita Cotton Gauze Short Dress - Black

Easy, effortless and ready for wherever the day takes you, this is the throw-on dress you'll find yourself reaching for all summer long. Made from beautifully soft double cotton gauze, it's naturally lightweight, breathable and designed to keep you feeling cool even on the hottest days. The signature crinkled texture isn't just gorgeous to look at—it means you can scrunch it into a suitcase, pull it back out and wear it without worrying about creases. Whether you're exploring a new city, relaxing by the beach or heading out for lunch, this dress makes looking put together feel completely effortless.

The relaxed fit slips easily on over your head before falling into a beautifully tiered silhouette that creates plenty of movement and swish with every step. A flattering V-neckline, deep flat side pockets that don't add bulk and an easy mini length with a slightly longer back hem make it as practical as it is stylish. Wear it with sandals or trainers for laid-back summer days, then add a belt, statement jewellery and your favourite heels to take it seamlessly from beach to bar. Ethically made in India and available in Snag's inclusive size range, this is comfort, style and versatility all wrapped up in one beautifully simple dress.

Every style in our Woven Winds range is named after an inspirational woman from history. The Amrita Short Dress takes its inspiration from Amrita Sher-Gil,a pioneer of modern Indian art who painted the authentic, everyday lives of local women with deep empathy while living a fiercely independent, bohemian life.
