The Sita Maxi Dress in Green Lily has been lovingly and mindfully hand-crafted using beautiful hand screen printed fabric. This flattering feminine silhouette adorned with hand-placed florals features an elasticated scoop neckline finished with a self-adjustable tie at the bust, elasticated sleeves, and a captivating floor-length tiered design bringing the subtle green hues to life.
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.

"I should have bought a medium instead of a large. I typically wear US 8-10. The sleeves seem longer than I expected from the photos which I dont really like. That being said, the quality and color of the dress is very nice."
"Gorgeous"
"I've been waiting for this dress to come back into stock for a while, and it doesn't disappoint. Fits and feels beautiful and I love that it is lined."
"My God. This is my absolute favourite. Not as full as the others (which I hope, makes me look slimmer!). I was tempted to put it in my case with the others for Vietnam but I’m going to wear it this weekend for Summer is beginning to!"
"The colour is even better than I thought! Had to order one size or even two sizes bigger than I normally would as others were sold out, but as the fabric is very flowing, the ft looks very nice anyway - with a tighter fit this would have a very nice regency gown -vibe which I'm sure would be lovely too!"
"This dress is incredibly flattering. Large breast friendly. The fabric is so light and easy to wear."
"It’s everything you would want in a dress. So beautiful and makes you feel like a queen"
"This dress is absolutely lovely, I feel really pretty and it brightens your mood as soon as I put it on. The fabric is so soft and the green is soft and beautiful. Once again I'm totally in awe of a beautiful high quality product. Love love love 💚"
"The material is so light I feel like I have nothing on. LOL Beautiful dress, very light. Shipping was very fast here to the states. Dress has slip under so that’s a plus. Nothing negative to say just perfect/beautiful"
"I absolutely love this print—and the green is a bonus since it’s one of my favorite colors! The neckline is a bit low for my taste, but I was able to adjust it slightly with a small alteration. Overall, it’s a beautiful, flowy dress. For reference, my bust measurement is 33" and I’m 165 cm tall. The size S fit me perfectly."
