Well made but unfortunately medium
"Well made but unfortunately medium was way too big on me and I’m 5.5 130 lbs so I returned"
The Sita Maxi Dress in Bluebell 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 stunning blue 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.

"Well made but unfortunately medium was way too big on me and I’m 5.5 130 lbs so I returned"
"Without doubt Daughters of India never fail to hit the feminine highest mark. I ordered one dress for my friend and other for me. I was not disappointed as always. It was my friend's first Daughters of India garment. I have never heard her voice as happy as she was on receiving the gift."
"I almost never write reviews, but I loved this dress so much I had to leave one! I'm normally a 4-6 (US) but am 30 weeks pregnant. Ordered this in a size small in hopes it'll work for newborn photos and after, and it's perfect. The bust is the most fitted spot, but as someone with a large bust, smaller ribcage and narrow shoulders, it fits perfectly both pregnant and I know it will postpartum too. The fabric is so flowy too! I'm 5'7, and length was perfect."
"Such a beautiful, feminine dress! I love how soft and flattering the Sita is, and the neckline makes it so easy and practical for breastfeeding without compromising on style."
"The Sita Maxi Dress ~ Bluebell is so beautiful. I gained some wait lately and this dress actually slims me down and looks so elegant. Extremely well made!!! Thank you Daughters of India for your lovely creations."
"it's so perfect. no notes!"
"I wish the fabric was softer and didn’t wrinkle so much, but beside that I like it a lot!"
"Love it. So comfortable to wear."
"One of my favourite dresses."
"Gorgeous colour, style with glamour but so comfy to wear all day into the evening…"
