I love this dress. Long a true maxi dress, has lining so no slip necessary. If you are a little more busty you can leave untied and wear a cami underneath.

Such a beautiful dress. Soft,quality fabric that you'll reach for again and again. This dress runs true to size and ships quickly. The price is amazing considering the quality of the product. From the way that it looks to the way that it feels you'll fall in love with this piece that shows the time and effort and love that went into it !
My new favorite shop. . . . I recommend it 100 %
Was worried it would be see through but wasn’t at all! So happy with my purchase
The dress is very elegant with a great fit. I adore the neckline and that it falls so beautifully!
The dress is so beautiful- maybe slightly small for a large bust but it's fine
Customer service is 10/10
I love this dress so very much. Beautifully soft and flowy.
Lovely dress. Great quality, as always. I especially appreciate that the bottom of the dress is lined! The top is cut low but with the tie there, some adjustment can be made.
Lovely dress. Runs a little snug in the shoulders and bust. For reference, I am 34. 5 (32D) and relatively broad shoulders. I ordered a small but ended up giving to my daughter because it was a little snug on top for me. The color is also very muted, a soft greyed lavender, not bright at all.
I own five to six garments - mostly dresses from DOI and I love them. I have been a loyal customer for years. I waited for restock of this dress quite a while and was stoked when it finally appeared available. I bought it right away… However, the reason for less stars is, the colour of the dress is not as it in the pictures. It does not have that lovely light pink shade, it looks more brownish and frankly a little dull. So I do not feel much appeal in wearing it. It arrived in my winter so I did not have much chances to wear it and see if I’d change my mind about it. I missed the window for return and hope that somehow it will grow on me.
I love the cut and fit of this dress. It's. beautiful and comfortable. I am 6 months pregnant and intend to keep wearing it after baby arrives!
PLEASE use this fabric to make other style dresses! A midi length sundress would be perfection. The fabric is so beautiful, light weight and heavenly. I returned because the length is too much for my 5’5 height. Additionally, there is just too much fabric in the dress for my liking. The part of the dress that ultimately made me hate it is how tight in the armpit it is. I purchased my usually DOI size and it was too uncomfortable, even in the first few minutes of wearing.
The Sita Maxi dress is lovely. I had to take off the bottom layer as it is too long for me. I enjoy lots of compliments and love wearing it. Cotton is cool so great for Australian summers.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback — we’re so happy to hear that you’re enjoying your Sita Maxi dress! ✨
It’s great to know you’ve been able to tailor it to suit you perfectly, and even better that you’re receiving so many compliments — that’s always the best feeling!
Thank you again for your support and for sharing your experience with us!❤️
Beautiful dress- my new favourite.
Well made, lined and high quality 👌 I am tall and this was the perfect length. Elastic around the arms is soft and not tight. Very flattering.
I feel so regal and self-assured and calm in this well-made garment. The fabric is soft, luxurious and beautiful shape and style and pattern. Beautifully crafted!
We’re so pleased that you’re enjoying your new dress. Thank you for sharing! 🤩
The sita dress is my absolute favorite. I have it in three colors. And when I wear it I get so many compliments. It’s a beautiful dress.

I love the Sita so much, that I have it in Blue and in Violet!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us ~it truly means the world 💜🦋
It took me quite a while to place my first order because of the cost of shipping and customs, but now, after all that time pondering, it feels even more special that my three dresses (Kyra, Sita, and Nora) have finally arrived. It was a birthday gift to myself and I couldn’t be happier. The attention to detail is felt in everything: from the beautiful packaging to the dresses themselves. The fabric, the texture, the flow - absolutely dreamy. And (because I read it in other reviews): the fabric is really soft and delicate but no see-through 🧡
Hi Miriam,Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt review! We're honoured that you chose our pieces as a birthday gift to yourself - and we're so happy to hear that the Kyra, Sita and Nora dresses made the wait worthwhile.We completely understand how customs and shipping can be a bit daunting, so it means the world that you took the leap.

We're so thrilled to hear that you're loving all of your dresses!Thank you so much for your continued support and for sharing your appreciation - it truly means the world to us.With gratitude, Daughters of India 💫💗
The dress: so beautiful and light, and flowy. love the tie top with elastic round the sleeves: to me i found it the perfect fit! The length was perfect (im about average hight). The material is to die for! Its so light and breezy- perfect for this QLD hot weather in aus. Colour: to me the picture does say violet but it definitely looked more pink online in photos then the one i received: but its a really nice pinky purple and thank god still suited my pale skin. Overall happy with the colour: but it does look different to the pictures online!Shipping: amazing! Regular post and it was so quick still here inna few days! Packaged beautifully- love the bag it comes with too 💜Laundry: I know it says hand wash: but i have been doing just a cold wash in the machine in a wash bag and no fading, no issues at all with all of my dresses from here. Overall I absolutely love this dress and so glad to find some really beautiful styles for summer
Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful review 💜 We’re so happy to hear your dress feels perfect in fit, flow, and fabric and that it’s keeping you cool in the QLD heat! ✨With love and gratitude,DOI Team
I absolutely love this dress in this print! I like the more fitted style around the bust/waist so, while it still fits loosely, it shows off more of your figure. I bought it while I was pregnant and I was able to wear it comfortably even when I was heavily pregnant. It's such a beautiful treasure to wear in this season of motherhood and for many more years to come
Thank you so much for your beautiful review! We're delighted to hear the dress was comfortable and flattering throughout your pregnancy, and that it feels like a treasured piece during this special season of motherhood.Much Love, Daughters of India 💫💜

Such a lovely light fabric. Sits well on my body. Feels like this dress was made for my body. Flattering fit. Beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your love with us. We hope you have many magical moments in this special piece 💕✨
I bought this dress for my daughter who is 33, and very tall and slim. She normally buys a medium, or even small sometimes in clothing but the large fit perfectly, not at all to big and is a nice long length. It is so pretty, soft feminine - young and yet not too little girlish. The bodice is quite small so I suggest sizing up for comfort, it is not a voluminous style, like the Nora which I love in my 60's for loose, flowing comfort. This dress is slim fitting but still plenty of soft, soft, fabric - simply divine! The violet colour is really beautiful, not at all dull or greyish, just the right amount of bright. It is true to the photos.
We're delighted to hear that your daughter is happy with her beautiful Sita dress! Thank you so much for your kind words and your support! We hope you both have many magical moments in your special pieces xx With Love, Daughters Of India 💜💕
SOOO beautiful! Amazing quality!
Thank you for sharing your love with us. We hope you have many magical moments in this special piece 💜💕
I have been waiting for so long to buy this dress. While it is a little investment , it is totally worth it (without a doubt). The fabric is so breathable but not see through, the colouring is perfect. I will be buying from them again!
Thank you for sharing your love with us. We hope you have many magical moments in this special piece xx With Love, Daughters Of India 💜💕
This dress is so light and comfy and pretty, I love it so much I also bought daffodil when she came back in stock!!❤️
Thank you for sharing your love of the Sita Maxi dresses with us Sandy!We hope you have many magical moments in this special design. xx Much Love, Daughters Of India 💜💛
I’m in love. So soft, so sweet. The colors. I just wish the slit in the breast area was able to close, I will have to alter it being I have bigger breats then the model. (36D)
The Sita maxi in violet was my second purchase from DOI. It is such a pretty dress, feels lovely to wear and the neckline is very flattering. I always follow the size guide and have found each time the dresses have fitted perfectly. I have just fallen in love with the Jasmine maxi in sea mist, so it looks like I might add to my collection! Thank you DOI for such beautiful dresses.
Soft and flowing , I exchanged for a smaller size and was perfect
We’re so happy to hear that you love your dress. Thank you for your review! 👯♀️

This dress is stunning, soft and light against the skin. Beautiful pattern and so many comments on this lush beauty.
Thank you for supporting ethical fashion with us. Enjoy your new piece! 👯♀️
Love it
I picked the small but it was more like medium and I'm not that tiny, I have had to take it to a seamstress to get it fitted as it falls off my shoulders. It cost a lot so I'm a bit miffed, to be honest.
