Size & Fit
Fit: Relaxed and easy — designed to skim the body rather than cling. If you're between sizes, size down for a neater look or up for extra room.

|---|---|---|---|
| One Size | 6–14 | up to 112 cm / 44" | 85–90 cm / 33–35" |
Measurements are taken flat across the garment and doubled, and may vary by 1–2 cm as each dress is handmade. Length is measured from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
The Fabric
Every House of Meera dress is cut from 100% cotton — light, breathable and soft against the skin, made for warm Australian days. Cotton gets softer with every wash and lets your skin breathe, so you stay cool from beach to brunch.
- Natural, breathable fibre
- Lightweight with gentle drape
- Softens beautifully over time
The Process — Hand Screen-Printed
Our prints are hand screen-printed by skilled artisans in India. Each colour is pulled across a fine mesh screen by hand, one layer at a time, then the fabric is sun-dried and cured to set the colour.
Because every metre is printed by hand, no two dresses are exactly alike — slight variations in tone and alignment are the signature of real craftsmanship. Garments are then cut and stitched in small batches.
Care Instructions
- Gentle machine wash cold (30°C) or hand wash
- Wash dark colours separately for the first few washes
- Use mild detergent; do not bleach
- Dry in the shade to protect the colours
- Warm iron on the reverse side

THE CRAFT
Every print is pulled by hand, one colour at a time
Our artisans hand screen-print each metre of cotton — pressing every colour through a fine mesh screen, then sun-drying and curing it before the next layer goes on. The tiny variations are the maker's signature, so no two House of Meera dresses are exactly alike.
