Hand screen printed
The making of Bluebell
Screen printing is a skilled process using large stencils stretched across printing tables to build designs layer by layer. Two artisans work in unison, pressing ink evenly through the screen to ensure consistency across the fabric.
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.
Daughters of India
What a beautiful and generous gift for your friend! We're very happy to hear both you and your friend loved your garments. We're immensely grateful for your love and support. 💕

I wish the fabric was softer and didn’t wrinkle so much, but beside that I like it a lot!

What a lovely dress
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.
Daughters of India

Boho Blue meets Bridgerton
Updating my Gold Coast 2025 summer wardrobe so I was looking for floaty relaxed maxi dresses preferably with sleeves and the Sita dress ticked all the boxes, arrived in record time and fits like a glove. The fabric is so soft, love that it is lined, it looks and feels lovely on my skin and the colour is gorgeous. I am a size 14 and I ordered an XL as I like a relaxed fit. I know I will be wearing this dress all year round.
Daughters of India

My dress arrived very quickly and it fits like a glove! I'm a size 14 and I ordered an XL as I like a relaxed fit. The fabric is incredibly soft and light, love that it is lined, the colour is as advertised and the style is very flattering. I can see myself wearing this all year round.

Perfect Summer Dress 🦋
I bought the Sita Maxi Dress in both blue and yellow and absolutely love them! The colours are beautiful and look even nicer in person. The fit is really flattering and comfortable, and I love that it’s not see-through — it has a proper layer underneath. Such an easy, flowy dress to throw on and feel good in. So glad I got both colours!Thank you DOI🩵

Sita Bluebell Success Story
The dress is very elegant yet whimsical. I ordered 2XL due to chest size, but at 165cm it was a lot fabric and also quite long, so I reordered in L and it was perfect everywhere in that it looked much like the larger model wore it in the advertising, so I was happy. However, I have plumper arms and it was a tad tight around the arm. I queried with the very helpful staff at DOI who responded quickly & decided to try a fix. Some dresses are made with elastic sewn in, which makes it impossible to alter them. Happily the DOI craftspeople have made the band a simple elastic that you can access easily to alter yourself. The dress now fits me perfectly. It is very casual but not cheap looking. Given the climate where I live is very hot I will get the opportunity to wear it a lot. The fabric is beautiful, but I won't be doing any cooking or gardening it as it is thin. It has a sheath sewn in, so not transparent, but it is lovely and floaty. It is a flattering style for a fuller figure and the colour tones are true to the photos and excellent for the summer complected.

Could not love it more
The perfect dress for easy going casual event or day. The fabric is super soft, the fit is perfect (got a M and I am 5,9", wide hips, usually an 8 or 10 in regular sizing). Perfect for summer and humid climates. Got the Violet and it looks so girly. LOVE LOVE need every color and we NEED a white, orange and red version

Hi Dani ~ Thank you so much for this lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that the Sita dress was a perfect match for you, especially in the violet - it really is such a gorgeous, feminine shade! 💜We love your colour suggestions, - white, orange and red sound like dreamy additions, and we'll definitely pass that on to our design team!

Georgianna S. · Verified buyer · 7 June 2025
Runs huge, returns are for credit only
I liked the item but it ran 3 sizes bigger than normal clothes sizing. No color has restocked for weeks, so I am stuck with a hefty store credit. Not the greatest experience.
Daughters of India
Hi Georgianna ~ Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. The best way to determine your size, is to view the detailed sizing chart on the product page of the particular dress you are interested in and compare your measurements. This will help you find the perfect fit! 🩵 As you know, all of our clothing is handmade in India and restocking can take time & patience. I can confirm they are definitely on order, however I am unable to give you a timeframe.💞To be the first to know when it returns, please select the 'notify me when available' option on the product page. Much Love, Daughters of India 🙏

Gorgeous dress
Absolutely love this dress. Beautifully made and well presented when I received it. This is true to pics on website. Colour and print is amazing and dress is soo comfortable. Very feminine. Love added extra of the cloth tote that I received and definitely has my friends asking me about DOI. I’ve noticed other women looking at my dress when I’ve worn it too. I got the large but should have sized down as it’s a little big for me. So incredibly grateful to be wearing a beautiful garment made by beautiful women. Well done !

Busty Girl Advice
This is the most beautiful dress in a dreamy, soft cotton fabric. I feel like I stepped out of Pride & Prejudice. As a curvier girl, I read every review trying to find more info about sizing with no luck, so here's my take: I'm a US 16 with an hourglass shape, and I ordered the 2x and it fits like a dream. My bust is 40DD, and I think if I was even a bit larger in the chest, I would need a 3x. I waffled between the XL (my usual size) and the 2x. I'm really glad I went with the 2x as it would have been way too small in the chest otherwise. The 2x is the perfect size, I can wear a bra with it - a must, so I might need to sew up the keyhole - and the fabric sort of flows around your body in a way that's flattering even though it doesn't have a defined waist. I want to live in it!
Daughters of India
Hi Rachel,Thank you so much for your beautiful review - we're absolutely delighted to hear how much you love your Sita dress! The Pride and Prejudice reference made our day, and we're glad the 2XL was the perfect fit.It's wonderful to know the fabric and flow feel flattering and comfortable - that's exactly what we aim for.Thanks again for sharing your experience with us!Much Love, Daughters of India 🦋🩵
