Inspired by a vintage silhouette and ethically crafted from 100% linen, the Dahlia maxi is the essential luxury dress we’ve been dreaming of. Worn with a matching tie around the waist or without for a more relaxed look, her flowing silhouette and billowy sleeves make the Dahlia dress our new go-to for effortless, elevated style.

Dahlia Maxi Dress Marigold · A$269
Discharge block printed
The making of Marigold
Discharge printing begins by dyeing the fabric before a special paste is hand block printed onto the surface. Fine corn flour is dusted over the fabric to guide precise placement, with the process requiring warm conditions to react correctly.
Absolutely gorgeous dress. Can wear on both shoulders or wear off one shoulder. Fabric is not too heavy either. I’m a size 8-10 and got the XS. Can’t wait to wear it more over spring and summer
Daughters of India

It’s a beautiful dress and very well made. I used the size chart and converted but it’s a bit too big. Luckily it’s a flowy dress so it’s not too obvious but when I lose weight it may be.

Really lovely and comfortable! Definitely runs large l but with the tie it’s pretty adjustable!! Love the thicker cotton!

Absolutely gorgeous
This dress is absolutely STUNNING! I love how it's thicker than the other DOI dresses but it sits REALLY beautifully on the body with the belt even loosely tied, and it's like an instant lift me up for mood with the gorgeous marigold flowers!! I've worn it just once so far and got a lot of compliments as it is pretty unique. I really love that it has pockets too like the Kyra range, but just being a little thicker makes it nice for leading up to summer and slightly cooler weather. Need to wear a pair of shorts underneath or lighter underwear as it's still a little see-through, but honestly not a biggie at all just to be aware of! I'm a size small (and I purchased in a size small) and unlike the fit of the Kyra range, these beauties are VERY loose, so I would recommend either buying your exact size or even sizing down (eg if you usually go for medium you would definitely still fit these in a small).

We appreciate your support for slow fashion and your wonderful review.

Beautiful dress but….
The fabric and the dress is beautiful but it’s way more shorter than it seems on the photos. For me it’s going right under my knees ~Im tall but not SUPER tall. The model must be quite short…. But it’s still beautiful 🤎
Daughters of India
Thank you for sharing your love with us. Dahlia dress look can vary based on height and styling, such as wearing it on or off the shoulders or with the tie. While it’s the same length as our other midi dresses, it may appear more like a maxi on some, especially when worn off the shoulders.Thank you for choosing our designs! We hope you enjoy wearing your dress. 💚

This dress is stunning. The material is heavier than my collection of Kyra dresses but I don't mind because it's less fly away in a breeze! Colours are gorgeous. Love it
