A timeless staple designed for effortless, everyday wear. Crafted from luxuriously soft double gauze cotton, the Nadi Dress is the piece you’ll reach for again and again, from relaxed mornings at home to days by the sea or catch-ups with friends.

This reversible beauty gives you two looks in one. Wear the wooden buttons at the front for a classic finish or at the back for a modern twist. The Nadi dress is maternity and breastfeeding friendly. Thoughtful hand-stitched details around the neckline and arms add a touch of artisan charm, while hidden pockets make it as practical as it is beautiful.

Product Details
  • Fabric: 100% Double Gauze Cotton, lightweight and breathable
  • Reversible: Buttons can be worn at the front or back
  • Neckline: Hand-stitched detailing around neckline and arms
  • Buttons: Sweet wooden button closures
  • Pockets: Convenient hidden side pockets
Garment Care

We recommend a gentle, cold water hand wash using natural detergents, and hang drying in the shade. Handcrafted garments are delicate, however, designed to last when treated mindfully with love and care.

Lovingly handmade in India, each piece may vary slightly in colour — a natural part of its unique beauty.

100% Cotton Double Gauze

Soft and breathable with a gently textured finish. Lightweight with a relaxed, airy drape. Naturally comfortable against the skin and ideal for all-day wear.

HAND-DYED IN INDIA

Our fabrics are dyed by hand in small batches using azo-free 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.

Each fabric is then washed and softened, letting the colour settle naturally while preserving lightness, movement, and feel.

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.

Saheli Women

Reviews

Perfect

"I'm 163cm with a 90cm bust, purchased size small which fits well. Comes to a maxi length on me with plenty of room in the bust. There's a chance an xs could have fit but may have been too fitted for the style. The colour is pretty different from the picture. Much more of a dusty mauve so if you have golden or neutral skin tone this colour will work on you. I love the comfort and shape and of course the pockets. Fabric is perfect for hot weather and not see through. Easy to wash and fast drying. Perfect"

— Lisa (5/5)

Nadi Mauve

"I have 2 Nadi dresses that I purchased a few years ago. 1 black & 1 white. They are very comfortable. I love the fabric. I’m looking forward to wearing the dress in mauve. It’s great to see this style in a range of colours."

— Dianne H. (5/5)

Beautiful

"Very well made, lovely soft material. As this was my first time buying from Daughter of India I did get my size wrong but I have ordered another in the larger size and given this one to my mother who loved it as well."

— Susan M. (5/5)

Simple and versatile

"I love my Nadi dress! It’s understated elegance and so soft and comfortable to wear with handy pockets and good hem length for protection against sun and insects. This dress makes me feel great."

— Marion W. (5/5)

I absolutely love this

"I absolutely love this dress. The colour is beautiful and it's so light and comfortable and flattering. The hand stitching at the neckline and arms is a subtle but distinctive touch. Its also lovely to know that the dress I've bought is supporting a brand that's making an effort at ethical production."

— Kara A. (5/5)

Lovely dress, but not quite like the picture.

"I have bought this dress a couple of years ago and it was so beautiful. I re-purchased it again as my sizing has changed but even though I ordered the same colour it is noticeably different to my last dress and to the pictures on the website. The colour lacks a purple base and is more of a dark stone grey. The original 'mauve' was such a divine colour and this latest colour is quite dull and lifeless. So even though the design is lovely, I was disappointed with the colour."

— Jessica G. (3/5)
