Karma Impero Maxi Dress
The Karma Impero Maxi Dress is more than just a garment—it’s a philosophy you can wear. As Webster’s dictionary reminds us, karma is “the force created by a person’s actions that is believed in Hinduism and Buddhism to determine what that person’s next life will be like.” Only good can come from and to you when you slip into this swirling, dotted design, making it a joyful expression of both beauty and meaning.
This dress is hand block printed on 100% cotton using the ancient method of resist printing with mud, a slow fashion technique that is as sustainable as it is artistic. Artisans coat the fabric with mud paste, sprinkle it with sawdust, and then dye it, repeating this process to create intricate patterns with extraordinary depth. Each print is made entirely by hand, without excessive water, without electricity, and without waste. Unlike fast fashion, which churns out disposable clothing, dabu printing celebrates patience, craft, and a deep respect for both tradition and the planet.
The swirling dotted motif of this maxi dress seems to dance across the fabric, an elegant reminder of cycles, movement, and the flow of energy. Its timeless black-and-natural palette makes it endlessly versatile, while the Impero silhouette adds an element of regal sophistication. Designed with a flattering empire waist and flowing lines, it offers both comfort and drama, perfect for elegant evenings, artistic gatherings, or simply elevating your everyday.
This design is also a Pax Philomena classic, one of the very first prints that our founder, Jean Marie, chose to bring into the collection. It represents the spirit of the brand: honoring heritage, uplifting artisans, and creating timeless fashion that transcends trends. When you wear the Karma Impero Maxi Dress, you are not just choosing style—you are choosing slow fashion, sustainability, and a garment that carries with it the promise of good karma.
The Karma Impero dress features an empire waist with a drawstring that allows the silhouette of our gorgeous design to fall beautifully and flow naturally.
