This is my favourite dress
"This is my favourite dress from Daughters of India so far. It is a great length (I am 163cm). What I especially like is that it is fully lined. 3xl fits well so I was very pleased."
The Sita Maxi Dress in Daffodil has been lovingly and mindfully hand-crafted using beautiful hand screen printed fabric. This flattering feminine silhouette adorned with hand-placed florals features an elasticated scoop neckline finished with a self-adjustable tie at the bust, elasticated sleeves, and a captivating floor length tiered design bringing the vibrant golden hues to life.
We recommend a gentle, cold water hand wash using natural detergents, and hang drying in the shade. Handcrafted garments are delicate, however, designed to last when treated mindfully with love and care.
Lovingly handmade in India, each piece may vary slightly in colour — a natural part of its unique beauty.
At the heart of Daughters of India, we believe supporting women to feel empowered is a key component of a positive future.
We have pledged an ongoing monthly donation of $10,000 to support our charity partnerships Sewing the Seeds and Saheli Women.



Sewing the Seeds is a women’s empowerment initiative that uses education and creativity in slow fashion to help break the cycle of poverty for Indian women. Their centre offers training in business, finance, and women’s health, fostering self-confidence in a supportive environment.
We have committed to a monthly donation of $5,000 to support their impactful work.
We’re working with Saheli women to launch Saheli Kapas, a Cotton Project, to support and empower female farmers at the root of the supply chain. Saheli Women believe true fashion starts with the Earth and the women who nurture and farm it.

The pilot begins with five women and their farms, providing them with training, direct income, and ongoing support. By offering access to quality seeds and low-water sustainable practices, we aim to uplift communities while honouring Mother Earth.

"This is my favourite dress from Daughters of India so far. It is a great length (I am 163cm). What I especially like is that it is fully lined. 3xl fits well so I was very pleased."
"The dress fits well. I am 5'6" and the length is perfect. It is also well lined, however, the color is not what I expected. It is not what I would call daffodil. It is more gold or mustard. From the picture I was expecting something closer to yellow so I will be returning the dress."
"Absolutely beautiful, this dress started my DOI addiction and I don’t think I’ll buy a dress from any other brand!! The Material is beautiful and makes me feel serene and free like I should be prancing around a field - I wore this dress out to a bar and a butterfly actually landed on my head in the middle of a city bar! That’s how magical this dress is it will actually conjure whimsy into your day! Thanks daughters of India 💛"
"Beautiful dress. The only thing I wish is that I sized up. The elastic around the neckline is really tight so pulls the arm seems up and does not sit as low as the model. I’m a NZ size 8 and ordered a small. Once the elastic stretches a bit it will sit correctly."
"Love, love, love my dress. Gorgeous fabric, so feminine and very true to size. I wasn’t sure as I’m in between sizes but I could have gone down a size"
"I absolutely LOVE this dress! Went with my usual size and it’s perfect 😍"
"My Sita Maxi dress in daffodil is so deliciously comfortable. I feel luxurious and feminine when I wear it. Thank you Daughters of India"
"I actually bought it as a gift for my daughter in law and she loves it and it looks beautiful on her."
"So beautiful!"
"Stunning"
