Cherry Blossom Print Silk Midi Shirtdress, Keli Keli Bloom
$450.00
Description
The Pallava shirtdress body in Keli Bloom silk twill, so the whole dress drapes liquid. It falls to the mid calf, the placket is covered so only the gold logo button at the collar stand shows, and two drawcords at the waist cinch the body in or let it hang loose. The peak collar is edged in 4 mm brass beads, the cuffs fold back to show the print inside, and an in-seam pocket sits at the right hip. Every internal seam is a French seam.
- Luxurious 100% silk twill for a fluid, light-catching drape
- Midi length with a covered placket and collar-stand gold logo button
- Waist drawcords on both sides for a fitted or relaxed silhouette
- Peak collar edged in hand-finished 4 mm brass beads
- Fold-back double-layer cuffs and an in-seam hip pocket
- Free lifetime repairs
Keli means play, pleasure and joyful pastime in Sanskrit. The print began with two different relationships to the same kind of beauty. For Fatema, flowers were part of the wonder she found growing up in England. For Lily, floral imagery lived inside family ritual, preserved on English china and passed down through generations.
The shirtdress turns those private memories into something worn in the present. What was once held in a home, on a table, or in childhood memory is given movement and a new life on the body.
Carry what gave you joy forward.

The Story In The Print
English Bloom is a garden in full flower, drawn by hand and printed on pure silk twill, with an engineered square for the scarf.
Roses, leaves and wild stems layered into one garden. A print that rewards a second look.
On the scarf the print is engineered to the square, so every flower sits where it should when tied.
Pure silk twill: weight in the hand, glow in the light, a drape that holds the pleat.
Why Ashaki exists
"I make clothes for the woman who is becoming. Every print carries a story, resilience, joy, quiet strength and every stitch is placed by hand, by artisans whose craft carries generations. When you wear Ashaki, you wear that story."
Complete The English Bloom Look
