Inanna' Seven Gates Bordeaux Cotton Maxi Dress with Pockets
The dress with a story woven into every layer of the print; some of it visible from across the room, some of it only yours to know.
Regular price
$574.00 USD
The satin finish shifts between deep wine and near black depending on the light. Black heels, a single gold piece at the neck, dark cherry lip, hair back or relaxed. This is a low-light dress, candlelit dinners, galleries, wine bars, late evenings. This reveals itself in layers. From across the room, deep bordeaux. Up close, guardian lions flanking roses, eight-pointed stars, and the vulva motif drawn from Sumerian cylinder seals where it marked sovereignty over the body. Inanna descended through seven gates and surrendered something at each one; by the seventh she held the most power.

Symbolism and Craft
Inanna governed love, war, and political authority in ancient Sumer, and she did not separate them. The lions that guard her gates represent power, and the roses reference the offerings left at her temples. The eight-pointed stars are her celestial signature, visible as Venus in the sky.
And the vulva that repeats across the background of this print is the symbol found on cylinder seals and temple walls dating back to 3000 BCE, representing Inanna's dominion over desire, fertility, and sovereignty over the body. The poet Enheduanna, the first named author in recorded history, wrote hymns to Inanna that celebrated this.
The satin finish on the cotton catches candlelight and low evening light in a way that makes the fabric shift between deep red and dark depending on where you are standing.

This dress is sooooo beautiful, and truly fit for a goddess. It is so flattering. I’m 4’11 and expected the length to be far too long, but with heels, it’s perfect. For reference, I’m 116 lbs. I ordered a size XS, which fits…but I should have likely done my usual S size., as I’m 34DD in the bust area. The service was exceptional and shipping super fast. The packaging is also so gorgeous. Everything about Diva Thea is breathtaking.
