The making of Peony
Hand block printed

The making of Peony

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 wooden blocks and carefully preparing the fabric.

Lalika Dress

I’ve had my eye on this dress for a while and decided to snap it up in the sale. It’s a really beautiful colour, a kind of buttermilk. The photos don’t do it justice. I’m normally a XS but went with a S as it’s fitted and it fits perfectly! So happy with my purchase!

Daughters of India

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! 💕 We're so happy to hear that you finally treated yourself to this dress and that it was worth the wait.

The beautiful buttermilk shade is such a special colour, and we're delighted to hear that you love it even more in person. Thank you as well for sharing your sizing experience—it's always helpful for other customers to hear how a style fits.

We're thrilled that the Size S fits you perfectly and that you're so happy with your purchase. We hope you enjoy wearing your beautiful new dress!🌸

Truly beautiful

Delicate and perfect peace for summer. I did get scared in order a medium when a size small would’ve fit me just fine. I had to sew down the sides too make it fit me but otherwise it was beautiful. For reference I’m a 34 bust and a 28 inch waist☺️🤎

Daughters of India

Hi beautiful,Thank you for your lovely words and that photo is just the sweetest! The dress looks gorgeous on you, basket and all! So glad you made it work and are loving it.With love,Daughters Of India

Beautiful

The style and fabric of this dress are stunning. Such a flattering fit. I'm a pretty standard 8 and went for medium and apart from the straps being a bit longer then I'd like it fits like a dream everywhere else. Would love to see this style in other colours that would suit a paler skin tone. Blue or green would be so dreamy 💙

Daughters of India

So glad you love the look and feel! 💛 You might also adore the Poet Patchwork Dress—it has the same flattering fit, with the added charm of handloom detailing for that extra special touch. Thank you for sharing your lovely review! ✨😊

It's so perfect

This dress fits like it was tailored for my body. I am 5'10"" 140 lbs with teeeensy tiny boobs, but this dress makes me feel so feminine and pretty. Love it. I hope they'll make more like this for the days when I'm willing to have clothes close to my body.

Daughters of India

What an honour it is to be part of your story. Thank you for bringing so much beauty into our world with your spirit and support.

Pretty but not what I was expecting

This dress has the loveliest pattern and flowy fabric. But unfortunately two things: first there was an imperfection right at the front middle of my dress, and second, the top came up WAY too high. It looked wrong from the front, and there's no adjustment available from the straps. Luckily the team quickly arranged a return and refund due to the defective issue on the dress.

Your kind words mean so much to us. Thank you for supporting our small business!
