HAND BLOCK PRINTED IN INDIA

Hand block printing is a traditional artisan technique that uses hand-carved wooden blocks to print fabric by hand. Rooted in Indian craft traditions, the process is slow and highly skilled, beginning with carving rosewood blocks and carefully preparing the fabric.

Eco-friendly dyes are mixed by hand and stamped in precise alignment, often in layers to build the design. The fabric is then washed, dried, and quality-checked, resulting in textiles that celebrate sustainability, human rhythm, and individual artistry.

Empowering women

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


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.

Saheli Women

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.

Reviews

Please bring it back

"Are you bringing this dress back in S and other sizes? Please do ❤️"

— Bristi B. (5/5)

Gorgeous pattern, fit not for me.

"I absolutely love the pattern and colour of this dress. Since having children my bust is no longer flat though and I feel that this dress is much more suited to flatter chests. The bottom of the skirt sat and flowed beautifully. I am tempted to make it into a skirt! Unfortunately, the top of the dress fits quite funny on my breasts, making me look frumpy and bigger than I am. I would suggest that this dress would fit bigger busts a lot better if the stitching after the top panel sat under the bust rather than over it or across it, helping the dress flow from there rather than frumping out over the breasts. Shattered because this dress is so beautiful and unfortunately the returns process is not great and only offers store credit - for a $200+ dress only receiving store credit is not great for those who realise that the style does not suit them. I have had 3 dresses from DOI and have loved them all, great quality too - they did flow much better on me when I had a smaller bust."

— Caley K. (3/5)

perfect

"I've had this dress for a bit now and wear it so much, always receiving compliments. I love the flowy design with longer sleeves, as I'm fair-skinned and being covered in the heat and sun is preferable. The fabric is lightweight and I'm never hot despite the long sleeves and long length, even though I live in the desert. I also love that the sleeves are slighly less billowy than other DOI designs, such as the Kyra, as I'm a tall, athletic build with broad shoulders and sometimes it's nice not to add too much 'puff' :). No matter your build, however, this dress is PERFECT."

— Ellie (5/5)

perfect summer dress

"the dress is super flowy, dreamy and comfortable. makes me feel so beautiful ✨ the fabric and colors are divine!"

— Mia (5/5)

Stunning!

"Daughters of India clothing carries a beautiful energetic vibration. Every time I wear a one of my now 15 pieces of DOI clothing, my energy is uplifted as it carries me in grace, beauty, and love. The designs and fabrics are effortlessly ethereal, feminine and flowy. The Rooh dress is a stunner."

— AV (5/5)

Boho dress of dreams

"Stunning dress made from the softest cotton and feels divine to wear. Absolutely love the hand blocked print and colours. Beautiful quality. Size guidelines are accurate."

Love Doi

"The Rooh is my 3rd DOI maxi dress ( bummer the loyalty club started started after my first two purchases) I am totally obsessed."

— Krista G. (5/5)

Beautiful style.

"Love this dress, it's beautiful and light. Another must have dress from DOI. I have many dresses now and wear them often and always get asked where I purchased them from."

— Cyndy G. (5/5)

Stunning dress!

"Love this dress - and all the others I bought so far from Daughters of India."

— Laura A. (5/5)

Absolutely fabulous dress

"The dress is absolutely lovely, so light and airy. 🥰 The quality of the work is really good. The only flaw was that the neckline strings were missing finished ends. Delivery to Finland was surprisingly fast, only a week. I will probably buy another dress from this brand if it becomes available in the color and size I want."
