Hand dyed
The making of Mulberry
Our fabrics are dyed by hand in small batches using dyes, allowing colour to develop slowly and evenly. Deeper shades may pass through multiple dye baths, while lighter tones are carefully controlled to maintain softness and consistency.
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.

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 dress is beautiful. However, like many companies who size up to larger sizes they don’t account for the different body shapes of larger sizes. The front ‘bib’ part of the dress is larger but not deeper. It flattens and doesn’t sit on a larger body the way it is designed to sit on smaller bodies. Patterns really need to be adjusted to be size inclusive, not just sized up.
Daughters of India

Daughters of India
Thank you for your feedback on the Anika Maxi in Mulberry—we’re glad to hear you’ve decided to keep it.
We appreciate your note on the fit as well. Depending on the style, certain cuts can create more volume through the bust area. Sometimes, sizing down or up or choosing a different neckline can offer a more streamlined look, depending on your preference.
If you ever need assistance finding a style or fit that suits you best, our team is always here to help💛

Pink dress
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
