The basil green stardust stella cowl dress by Chamee & Palak is a one-piece answer to a festive dress code. The dress rises to a high halter neck, and its fitted bodice is embellished with glass beads and stones in curving geometric bands. Below the waist the georgette falls into a deep cowl drape that dips at the front and parts as you walk, scattered with small beads. There is no dupatta to manage, which makes it a strong pick for a mehendi, a Diwali party, a cocktail evening or a destination welcome dinner. Wear it with white strappy heels and a silver floral choker, and you are ready.

All orders ship from India on Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU), also called Delivered At Place (DAP).

These charges are determined by the destination country’s customs authority and must be paid directly to the shipping carrier before delivery. Your package will not clear customs until these charges are paid.
