The Mumtaz Dress is named after Mumtaz Mahal — the wife of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal in her memory after her death in 1631. The dress's floral print is inspired by the Taj Mahal's decorative heritage: the intricate botanical motifs inlaid into the monument's marble surfaces, translated into an exclusive print by Sandhya Garg and produced at her own facility.
The construction makes the Mumtaz one of the more architecturally designed maxi dresses in the collection. The halter neckline with self-tie closure allows a customised fit through the bodice. Lace edging at key seams adds texture against the flowing 100% viscose body. The criss-cross back creates the same architectural logic as the Taj Mahal's geometric lattice work: a pattern that is structural as much as decorative. The deep back neckline adds the flirtatious dimension — the dress is deliberately more restrained from the front than from behind. The A-line fit-and-flare silhouette fitted through the bodice and flaring from the waist means the 100% viscose fabric does what viscose does best: drapes with the body's movement, flows with each step, and photographs in motion rather than standing still.
The occasion range for the Mumtaz is anchored in warm-weather formal and semi-formal events. For summer wedding guest occasions, orange is festive without competing with bridal white and photographs beautifully in natural outdoor light — the halter and open back are practical in warm weather and add visual interest to ceremony and reception photographs. For beach and outdoor weddings, the flowing viscose silhouette moves in any breeze and the orange pops against coastal backdrops. For resort evenings and vacation occasions, the halter and backless back make it specific to warm-weather settings — this is not a dress that translates to cold-weather events. For cocktail receptions and evening parties, the lace edging and fit-and-flare silhouette carry the occasion register.
How to wear it: Pair with metallic heels (gold or amber read beautifully against orange) and a small clutch. Tie the halter close enough at the nape for security, comfortably enough to move freely.
Available in sizes XS through XXXL (US sizes 00–24) — one of the most inclusive size runs in the collection. The A-line silhouette is forgiving across body types; the self-tie halter closure allows some adjustment at the bodice. Hand wash cold, hang to dry. Like all Sandhya Garg designs, the Mumtaz is limited-production — the print will not be repeated. Custom sizing is available.

Who was Mumtaz Mahal?
Mumtaz Mahal was the beloved wife of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. She died in 1631 and Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in Agra as her mausoleum — one of the most celebrated architectural acts of devotion in history. Sandhya Garg named this dress after her and drew the print from the Taj Mahal's botanical decorative heritage.
Is the Mumtaz appropriate for a summer wedding guest?
Yes. The halter neckline and open back are well-suited to warm outdoor wedding venues. Orange is festive without competing with bridal white. The flowing viscose and fit-and-flare silhouette photograph beautifully in natural light. Pair with gold heels and a small clutch. This dress is best suited to summer and beach outdoor weddings — the halter and backless back are less suited to indoor formal venues.
What is the Taj Mahal floral print?
The Taj Mahal features intricate botanical motifs — flowers, leaves, and vines — inlaid into its white marble surfaces using coloured semi-precious stones (pietra dura technique). Sandhya Garg drew from this decorative heritage to create the Mumtaz's exclusive floral print, designed and printed at her own facility. The same Mughal design tradition appears across the Taj Mahal collection: the Mehtab Dress and Jali Dress carry the geometric jali lattice version of the same heritage.
Is the Mumtaz dress true to size?
Yes. The A-line silhouette is forgiving across body types. The self-tie halter closure allows some bodice adjustment. Measure your bust and check the size chart. Available XS–XXXL (US sizes 00–24).
Can I wear a regular bra with this dress?
The criss-cross back and halter neckline make regular bra straps visible. A stick-on (adhesive) bra or a bra specifically designed for backless and halter styles is recommended.
Will the Mumtaz Dress be restocked?
No. Like all Sandhya Garg designs, the Mumtaz is limited-production. Once stock sells out, the print will not be repeated. Custom orders are available.

We pride ourselves in supporting the Indian people (Sandhya herself comes from India and grew up around craft) at this very unique craft. The beauty of our fabrics and embellishments lie in their uniqueness and there may be slight variations in color and design. Because these pieces are 100 percent made by hand, slight variations in the placement of the patterns are to be expected (and, we think, part of the charm!)
