Truly, my new favorite dress
"The most beautiful feminine dress I’ve ever owned. It’s so comfortable and handcrafted so well. The best quality and so worth every penny!!!"
The Anika Maxi Dress in White Cosmos 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.

"The most beautiful feminine dress I’ve ever owned. It’s so comfortable and handcrafted so well. The best quality and so worth every penny!!!"
"Overall very happy with the purchase. Minus 1 star for a slight siluette styling problem for not giving the flattering view from the front for a curvy figure. Love how it defines the waste at the back. The pockets are huge bonus, something a lot of other Daughters of India designs don't have. It also feels more versatile, you can wear it to work or go on holiday. What i didn't realise, there is an additional internal support structure that takes away the feel of fluidity and airiness other designs are known for. The sleeves are long and very wide. Some. ay find it not practical, but i like the way they feel. Overall a very nice piece, definitely recommend it."
"I do like the print and the fit with the elastic is nice, however the fabric is itchy. I plan to soak it overnight in cold water and a softener."
"Lightweight and dramatic and beautiful!"
"The dress is very beautiful and comfortabel, love the cotton , very soft"
