The Awakening Dress
Size details
Description
The Bagh Silhouette
Our signature Bagh dress is an anthem to the anti-fit philosophy- a silhouette that refuses to cling, pinch, or pull. We designed this piece to be a sanctuary of fabric, cascading from a sharp V-neckline into a generous, architectural A-line flare that honors the body’s natural rhythm. By removing the constraints of traditional tailoring, we created a garment that breathes with you, allowing an effortless, unburdened lightness in every step.
A Lifetime Companion
We believe a dress should never demand that your body stay the same. This free-flowing volume is intentionally crafted to accommodate the beautiful, inevitable ways a woman’s form evolves through different seasons and stages of life. It is a dress built for longevity- as comfortable and relevant today as it will be years from now, ensuring your clothes never become a cage.
The Story Behind the Name
The dress takes its name from Kate Chopin’s The Awakening, a story of a woman shedding the restrictive "garments" of social expectation to find a soul that belongs only to herself. Much like the protagonist Edna Pontellier, who sought liberation in the vastness of the sea, this dress is an invitation to loosen the ties and rediscover the freedom of taking up space.
Care
To maintain the beauty and integrity of your purchase, we recommend treating it with care. Simple maintenance practices, such as gentle washing and proper storage, can effectively preserve the longevity of your favorites. We encourage you to refer to the care instructions included with each item, designed to help you keep your purchase in top condition.
Return and Exchange
Finding Your Perfect Fit
We want every piece you take home from Chowringee Bazaar to be one you truly cherish. Since our collections are made in mindful batches, we handle exchanges with a focus on personal care and sustainability.
A Little Help Before You Buy
Shipping back and forth creates unnecessary wastage—for the planet and for our studio’s rhythm. If you’re unsure about a size, the fall of a fabric, or how a cut might sit, please reach out to us at 7666112341.
We’d love to walk you through the measurements or text you more photos. Getting it right the first time saves you the effort of a return later.
How We Handle Exchanges
If the fit isn't quite what you expected, we are happy to assist you with an exchange or a store credit.
Timeline: We welcome exchange requests within 7 days of your order being delivered.
Condition: To be eligible, please ensure the piece remains in its original state- unworn, unwashed, and with all tags intact. We trust you’ll understand that we cannot accept items once tags are removed or if there are signs of wear.
Credit Notes: If you aren't ready to choose a replacement immediately, we will issue a Credit Note for the value of your item. It remains valid for 6 months, so you can take your time to wait for a design that truly speaks to you.
Shipping: As we don't have a large-scale logistics network, we ask our customers to arrange the return courier to our studio and bear the shipping charges.
The Exchange Process
- Start a Conversation: Drop us a message on WhatsApp or email hello@chowringeebazaar.com with your Order ID.
- Send it Back: Once we’ve confirmed your request, please pack the item securely and ship it to our studio address (which we’ll provide).
- Finalizing: After we receive and check the garment, we’ll issue your credit note or ship your new size within 48 hours.
In the rare case that you receive a damaged item, please let us know within 24 hours of delivery so we can prioritize a replacement for you.
