What Makes SA Fab’s Block Printed Anarkalis Collection So Special?
Anarkali dresses, with their fitted bodice and dramatic flare, are universally flattering. At SA Fab, we elevate this classic by:
- Celebrating Craftsmanship: Each Anarkali features authentic block prints, a centuries-old technique where skilled artisans hand-carve designs onto wooden blocks and meticulously print them onto fabric. This means every piece has a unique, human touch.
- Breathable & Beautiful Fabrics: We primarily use fabrics like cotton and soft silks that not only take block prints beautifully but also ensure comfort, especially in warmer climates.
- Timeless Meets Modern: Our designs blend traditional block print motifs with contemporary Anarkali silhouettes, offering you a look that’s both rooted in heritage and stylishly current.
A Nod to History: The Anarkali silhouette itself harks back to the Mughal era, exuding regal charm. Block printing, too, is an ancient Indian art form. Together, they create a powerful statement of cultural richness.
Key Factors When Choosing Your SA Fab Block Printed Anarkali
Selecting the ideal block printed Anarkali involves a few thoughtful considerations:
- The Occasion: Where will you be wearing your Anarkali?
- Your Body Type: How can the Anarkali best flatter your natural shape?
- Fabric & Print: What textures and designs resonate with you?
- Personal Style: What makes you feel most confident and beautiful?
Let’s explore these to help you find your perfect match in our block printed Anarkali clothes collection.
Finding the Right Block Printed Anarkali for Every Occasion
Our SA Fab collection offers versatile styles:
- Casual Chic & Everyday Elegance:
For daily wear, brunches, or casual outings, choose our block printed cotton Anarkalis. These are lightweight, breathable, and feature charming, often simpler, block print designs. Think delicate florals, geometric patterns, or bootis that add a touch of artistry to your everyday look without being overwhelming. They offer comfort and effortless style. - Festive Gatherings & Celebrations:
For festivals, pujas, or family gatherings, opt for block printed Anarkalis with slightly more intricate designs or richer color palettes. Our silk blend Anarkalis with detailed block prints, perhaps accented with subtle gota patti or mirror work alongside the prints, strike the perfect balance between traditional and celebratory.
- Parties & Semi-Formal Events:
Looking for something for a special evening or a semi-formal event? Explore our block printed Anarkalis in deeper hues or those featuring contemporary block print interpretations. The unique texture and patterns of block prints ensure you stand out with sophisticated charm.
Flatter Your Figure: Block Printed Anarkalis for Your Body Type
The Anarkali is wonderfully versatile, but certain styles can particularly enhance your features:
- Pear-Shaped (Hips wider than shoulders): The classic Anarkali flare is perfect for you! It skims over the hips beautifully. Look for designs where the block prints are more concentrated on the yoke (bodice) or sleeves to draw attention upwards.
- Apple-Shaped (Fuller mid-section): Opt for Anarkalis with an empire waistline (fitted just below the bust) and a gentle A-line flare. Darker block prints or all-over subtle patterns can be very flattering.
- Hourglass (Balanced bust and hips, defined waist): You can carry off most Anarkali styles! Highlight your waist with a well-fitted bodice. Experiment with bold block print patterns.
- Rectangle/Athletic (Shoulders, bust, and hips are roughly equal): Anarkalis with more volume in the flare or those with distinct yokes and gathered skirts can create curves. Layered block print patterns can also add dimension.
- Petite Frames: Choose Anarkalis that aren’t overwhelmingly voluminous. Knee-length or calf-length block printed Anarkalis can look fabulous. Smaller, more delicate block print motifs often work well.
- Tall Frames: You can effortlessly carry floor-length Anarkalis with bold, expansive block prints.
The Perfect Fit is Key: At SA Fab, we emphasize the importance of a good fit. While shopping online, refer to our size charts carefully. A well-fitted block printed Anarkali not only looks better but also feels more comfortable.
The Beauty of Block Prints: Fabrics, Colors & Details
The soul of our Anarkalis lies in the block prints themselves:
- Fabrics that Love Prints:
- Cotton: The quintessential choice for block printing. It absorbs dyes beautifully, resulting in crisp, vibrant prints. Perfect for everyday comfort and breathability.
- Silk Blends & Chanderi: Offer a subtle sheen and a more luxurious feel, making them ideal for festive block printed Anarkalis. The prints often appear richer on these fabrics.
- Colors that Speak:
Our block printed Anarkalis come in a spectrum of colors.- Earthy tones and indigos: Classic choices for block prints, offering a timeless, artisanal appeal.
- Pastels & Soft Hues: Perfect for daytime wear, giving a fresh and delicate look to the block prints.
- Vibrant & Jewel Tones: Make a statement for festive occasions, allowing the block prints to pop.
Choose colors that complement your skin tone and suit the occasion.
- The Art of Block Print Detailing:
From intricate traditional motifs like paisleys and florals to more contemporary geometric or abstract designs, each block print tells a story. Some of our Anarkalis might feature:- Single motif prints: Repeated elegantly across the fabric.
- Jaal (all-over) prints: Creating a rich, textured look.
- Border prints: Highlighting the hemline or yoke with distinct patterns.
Look for the subtle variations that make each hand-block printed piece unique.
Accessorizing Your SA Fab Block Printed Anarkali
- Jewelry:
- For casual cotton Anarkalis: Opt for silver tribal jewelry, terracotta pieces, or simple beaded necklaces.
- For festive Anarkalis: Consider kundan, polki, or temple jewelry. Jhumkas are always a classic pairing.
- Footwear: Juttis, kolhapuris, or embellished sandals complement block printed Anarkalis beautifully.
- Dupatta: Many of our Anarkalis come with matching or contrasting block printed dupattas, completing the look.
