The fit and flare dress is one of those silhouettes that simply works, because it’s built around the body rather than imposed on it. In the I was a Sari collection, this sleeveless dress is defined by a softly scooped neckline and a clearly shaped waist that opens into a gathered skirt. Made from upcycled sari fabrics, each piece combines structure and movement, resulting in a dress that feels comfortable, feminine, and easy to wear from morning to evening.
A fit and flare dress is designed to follow the upper body closely before flaring out at the skirt, creating a balanced and flattering shape. The fitted bodice highlights the waist, while the flared skirt adds ease and motion. At I was a Sari, this classic form is reinterpreted using repurposed sari textiles, giving the silhouette a distinctive look shaped by colour, pattern, and texture.
Rather than relying on stiffness, the fit and flare dress achieves definition through comfort. An elasticated waist seam gently cinches the torso, adapting to the body without feeling restrictive. From there, the gathered skirt falls naturally to knee length, allowing freedom of movement and a light, flowing feel. The sleeveless cut and scooped neckline keep the fit breathable and balanced across different body types.
Each fit and flare dress begins with a sari that already exists. Carefully selected pre-loved fabrics are transformed by women artisans in Mumbai, extending their life and reducing textile waste. This small-scale, ethical production process results in limited collections where every dress is unique, reflecting a circular approach to fashion grounded in craftsmanship and responsibility.
Designed for everyday versatility, the fit and flare dress works just as well for casual daytime wear as it does for more polished occasions. Worn with flat shoes, sandals, or boots, it adapts easily to different settings and seasons. The knee-length skirt and comfortable waist make it a practical choice for long days, travel, or simply moving through daily life with ease.
No two fit and flare dresses are ever identical, because no two saris are the same. Variations in print, colour, and texture are part of the design, not an afterthought. This circular philosophy values individuality over uniformity, turning existing textiles into dresses meant to be worn often and kept for years.

Fit & measurements
Every body measures a little differently, so we size by chest, waist and hip girth rather than guesswork. Use the reference table below alongside the measuring guide to check yourself before you order.
All measurements are body girth, in centimetres, with 1cm of ease already built in.
| Size | XS | S | M | L | XL | XXL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR | 34 | 36 | 38/40 | 42 | 44 | 46 |
| Chest | 80–84 | 85–89 | 90–95 | 96–101 | 102–108 | 109–115 |

Between two sizes? Go by your chest measurement first for tops, or hips for bottoms, see the notes below.
Use a soft tape, wear light clothing, and keep the tape level all the way around.
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, level across the back. Keep it snug, not tight, and read the measurement where the tape meets.
Find your natural waistline, usually the narrowest point of your torso. Don't hold your stomach in, keep the tape level and comfortably snug.
Stand with feet together and wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips and seat, straight and level front to back.
