This dress is an absolute
"This dress is an absolute DREAM. The design is beautiful as well as the fit, the material is light and comfortable, and the color is perfection! Thank you so much, Daughters Of India."
The Anika Maxi Dress in Mulberry is the epitome of modern-day elegance meets everyday comfort, featuring a fitted bodice with shell buttons from neckline to waist, internal shirring for comfort and flexibility, and our signature romantic billowed sleeves with soft gathered detailing.
We recommend a gentle, cold water hand wash using natural detergents, and hang drying in the shade. Handcrafted garments are delicate yet designed to last when treated mindfully with love and care.
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.
We have committed to a monthly donation of $5,000 to support their impactful work.

"This dress is an absolute DREAM. The design is beautiful as well as the fit, the material is light and comfortable, and the color is perfection! Thank you so much, Daughters Of India."
"Stunning dress, I’m so glad I got one before my size sold out. Took a little over two weeks to get to me in the US, but totally worth the wait. Lovely light pink cotton. I also love the volume of the sleeves. This is not a “snatched” kind of dress which I love, very romantic vibe."
"I LOVE THIS DRESS. WORE IT MOTHERS DAY, WISH IT CAME IN MORE COLORS! ID LOVE A WHITE. I like that it us a little more season transitional too. Nice with tights and cute boots for cooler weather"
"Beautiful design and fabric. Will definitely be interested in buying more when she is released in other colours/patterns!"
"I really liked this dress in the picture but in reality it didn’t suit me and since I didn’t know how to return it, I took it to the Women’s Refuge in the hope that a wonderful woman might like it"
"Beautiful dress. Well made. I still feel like I overpaid just a bit. But overall I’m happy with my purchase."
