Hand screen printed
The making of Green Lily
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.
This was my first purchase from DOI and it’s become my go to dress. The colour is perfect and I love that the dress is lined. It’s still a very light weight dress and flows beautifully. I’m 5 feet and did have to get it hemmed so it wasn’t too long but I was expecting that since I have to do that with most maxi dresses. I purchased a small and maybe could have gone down to an extra small but I didn’t want to risk it being too tight in the bust. Overall a perfect summer dress and I’m so glad I finally purchased a DOI dress!

Beautiful Sita Maxi Dress
I adore my Sita Maxi Dress in Green Lily. The fabric is so soft and beautifully lined. The colour is gorgeous, and fortunately slightly darker that in the photographs with models, exactly the shade in the standard photos. The block printing is stunning. I am a size 8 & 164cm and the XS is a perfect fit on me, and the length is perfect as well. I live in Cairns, and I will wear my dress all year! Thank you for supporting women in India!

Beautiful Shade of Green and Silhouette
I absolutely love this print—and the green is a bonus since it’s one of my favorite colors! The neckline is a bit low for my taste, but I was able to adjust it slightly with a small alteration. Overall, it’s a beautiful, flowy dress. For reference, my bust measurement is 33" and I’m 165 cm tall. The size S fit me perfectly.
Shiree P. · Verified buyer · 12 August 2026
Beautiful dress as always. A bit greener than I expected, but still nice. Flowing and comfortable and a perfect length for me, I’m 185cm. Love that it’s lined and has an adjustable neckline.

Sita Maxi Dress - Size L - Bluebelle vs. Green Lilly
I own the Sita Maxi Dress in both Bluebelle and Green Lilly, size L in both. The Bluebelle fits perfectly and I love it. The Green Lilly in the same size L runs noticeably larger / looser and doesn't look good on me. There seems to be inconsistent sizing between colors. I will have to take the Green Lilly to a seamstress to have it adjusted. Beautiful dress, but please check the sizing.
Daughters of India
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback with us. 💛 We’re delighted to hear how much you love your Sita Bluebell, and we’re sorry the Green Lily in the same size hasn’t fitted quite the same.
As our garments are individually handcrafted, there can sometimes be slight variations in measurements between batches and colourways. We recommend viewing the garment measurements for the specific item and colour-way you wish to purchase to help ensure the best possible fit.
If you’d prefer to return your order so you can purchase a different size, please reach out to our Customer Care team at hello@daughtersofindia.net. They’ll be happy to assist you with the exchange. 🌼

Dream come true
The DOI fabrics are always gorgeous and my Sita dress has the most dreamy soft green colour. Two things: if you don’t want it to fit oversized, size down! I bought my usual M with a 91cm bust and it’s huge on and under the bust and doesn’t correspond to the size chart and to the information of the DOI team which I had contacted before. Second: It‘s not maxi on anyone over 1,70m but that’s fine for me. I’m making it work. Thank youu!
Jacqui · Verified buyer · 7 May 2025
A beautiful dress, delicate, well made and a lovely colour. The fit is generous as well. However, the pictures do not make it clear that at the front, under the bow the material ia not joined so if you have any bust or wear a bra it shows via a large gap. I solved this by sewing it up. Maybe something to consider in the design by the supplier or indeed a step that anyone with a bust or needing to wear a bra will need to bear in mind. I am however daepite this pleased with the dress overall.
Molly G. · Verified buyer · 24 March 2026
I should have bought a medium instead of a large. I typically wear US 8-10. The sleeves seem longer than I expected from the photos which I dont really like.
That being said, the quality and color of the dress is very nice.

Flattering Boho
Finally found a flattering (for me) style of this maxi boho dress. I’m size 16 and bought xxl and it’s roomy and flows to the floor. Gorgeous soft material and a print that’s even lovier than the advertised photos. The colours and texture are beautiful. The customer service was fantastic as I returned two dresses and it was a very fast and simple procedure and turn around both times with a credit voucher being sent in a few days. The only thing that could be better is I would prefer a refund over a credit voucher as I now have $ sitting there that probably will be lost to me.
Daughters of India
Hi Tony,Thank you for your lovely review. 💛 We're so happy to hear that you've found a flattering boho maxi dress that you love ~ It's also wonderful to know that you had a smooth experience with our customer service team.We completely understand your preference for a refund over a credit voucher.

My new favourite dress
The colour is even better than I thought! Had to order one size or even two sizes bigger than I normally would as others were sold out, but as the fabric is very flowing, the ft looks very nice anyway - with a tighter fit this would have a very nice regency gown -vibe which I'm sure would be lovely too!

Busting at the Seams
Let me start with -- the customer service was excellent. They gave me a full refund against their exchange policy without any hesitation. Just a quick reminder that I should read the return/exchange policy before shopping online. Five Stars for service!!Now, i bought 4 dresses in the largest size they sell but my boobs (44dd) are too big for their styles. I wanted to love them and wear them all summer but the boobalage was too much for their seams and styles. 1 Star for fit. Policy is to exchange for another size but I had the biggest they sell. If they start making them bigger in the bust, I'd try again. 5 Stars if they fit my size ( they did fit everywhere but the bust. )But, allow me to reiterate. Their customer service was stellar!! 5 stars!!!
Daughters of India

Jo F. · Verified buyer · 3 November 2024
Such a beautiful garment…….
This was my first purchase from Daughters of India and whilst I was apprehensive about buying a dress from the other side of the world, I was not disappointed - in fact the whole experience was almost effortless……. The process of ordering to actually receiving my dress was simple ( once I had made sure that my measurements corresponded to the guide on the website )I was amazed at how quickly my dress came to me but was concerned at whether it would suit me as I am 60 years old and not as slender as I used to be! I was worried that I would look ridiculous but need not have been been nervous - this garment looks and feels gorgeous. The fabric is so light and tactile - in fact it is hanging on the front of my wardrobe so that I can look at it every time I go into my bedroom! The feel of the beautiful material remind me of the marvelous maxi dresses I wore in the early 1980s ( although I remember them to be much heavier in weight than this creation by Daughters of India. I live in the North East of the UK and it is very cold at the moment but as soon as Spring arrives I will wear it with pride ( unless I simply turn the central heating up and wear it anyway!!! )

The length is too short
I am 171 cm tall. The length is too short and the color is not as beautiful as it looks in the online store. But the fabric is nice, it's disappointing that you can't return it and get your money back. I bought the second dress in this store, I liked the dress I bought before more.

Flowing Into Spring, One Sip at a Time
I absolutely adore my Lily Green dress - it's soft, flowy, and quietly enchanting. The subtle, almost Nordic forest hue beautifully matches my eyes, making it feel personal and special. It's become part of my morning ritual - I wear it with my green smoothie in hand, feeling feminine, free, and connected to nature. The perfect spring morning dress. ✨💚

Thank you, DOI
In principle , I love the clothes from DOI, and it was the second time in my life that I bought something from them. I cannot allow myself to buy more for a long time, now, since I live on the other side of the earth from them, and it is not sustainable to buy clothes with such a long transportation. Having said that, I was pleasantly surprised at how fine and fast their shipping was. The dress reached me faster and with less hassle than something I've bought online in my own country sometimes does. So I can safely say that the customer service at DOI is simply divine. As to the dress, itself; it is lavishly lovely and well made, exactly like in the photos. ( One thing I do wish is that the dress had pockets. But that's a spoiled wish. ) I thank you for the great experience of buying from you, DOI. 🩵
