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.
How we make our pieces65 reviews of the Rooh Maxi Dress in Cacao.
I have several DOI dresses and love this one even more if that's possible? The fabric is soft and it is true to size. I am a small, 5'7" 135 pounds and very happy with the fit and colors. I treated myself to this dress for my recent birthday and it is the perfect spring staple so far.
Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're thrilled that we could meet your expectations! 😘
I get compliments every time I wear this dress! I am a size 16/18 with a large bust, I ordered an XL and it for great!
Your feedback means the world to us! Thank you for sharing your experience. 💝
Love this dress, great for summer/spring, going out, running errands, etc. Very flowy and airy. I usually wear a size S or M. I ordered a size S in this dress and it fits great. Only issue was the color of the white part was more of a yellow tint than a beige/off white tint. But so far, gorgeous dress.
I've had this dress for a bit now and wear it so much, always receiving compliments. I love the flowy design with longer sleeves, as I'm fair-skinned and being covered in the heat and sun is preferable. The fabric is lightweight and I'm never hot despite the long sleeves and long length, even though I live in the desert. I also love that the sleeves are slighly less billowy than other DOI designs, such as the Kyra, as I'm a tall, athletic build with broad shoulders and sometimes it's nice not to add too much 'puff' :). No matter your build, however, this dress is PERFECT.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear that you received so many compliments - and to hear that you're loving the longer sleeves and flowy design of the Rooh Maxi dress - it sounds like the perfect choice for you!✨🙏💕
I absolutely love the pattern and colour of this dress. Since having children my bust is no longer flat though and I feel that this dress is much more suited to flatter chests. The bottom of the skirt sat and flowed beautifully. I am tempted to make it into a skirt! Unfortunately, the top of the dress fits quite funny on my breasts, making me look frumpy and bigger than I am. I would suggest that this dress would fit bigger busts a lot better if the stitching after the top panel sat under the bust rather than over it or across it, helping the dress flow from there rather than frumping out over the breasts. Shattered because this dress is so beautiful and unfortunately the returns process is not great and only offers store credit - for a $200+ dress only receiving store credit is not great for those who realise that the style does not suit them. I have had 3 dresses from DOI and have loved them all, great quality too - they did flow much better on me when I had a smaller bust.
Hello Caley,Thanks so much for your lovely review - we're so glad to hear you love the colour and pattern of the dress.We're really sorry to hear the fit didn't quite work for you.

While we currently offer store credit, we understand this isn't ideal for everyone, and we're actively looking at ways to make things easier and more flexible in the future.If you need further assistance please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer service at hello@daughtersofindia.net and we will be more than happy to assist you there. 💞Thank you again for your thoughtful review and your continued support.Sending Much Love, Daughters of India Team 🙏
I wanted to buy this dress, and fortunately, I received it as a gift from a friend. I love it so much. It's a long dress of a reasonable length, not too long, and I like the feel of the thin, airy cotton fabric. However, you need to be careful because the hem can easily tear if you accidentally step on it. Make sure to wash it in a laundry bag. Even though it has long sleeves, it’s suitable for wearing in hot weather. The color is natural and elegant.
We're so grateful for your support and thrilled to hear that you're happy with your dress!Sending Love 💛🙏
The only reason I have taken a star off is because I had to return this dress, regretfully. The dress itself - fabric, colour and design - was just gorgeous but much to my dismay the XS was just way too big for me - the sleeves in particular were too long and overall it just didn't suit my frame. I think it would look lovely on a taller lady though :).
I am usually a size 18 and ordered a size extra large. The sizing was so big and oversized that I regret not ordering down and getting a large. Love the dress and wear it oversized at the beach and it is beautifully lined.
I love the style of this dress. It is so pretty and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. It is one of the softest DOI dresses I own. But do be careful. Because it is long I have stepped on it the hem while going up stairs, etc and due to its delicate nature it can rip both along the seams at the top and bottom. I love it so I've sewn them back together, but be careful with it!
We’re so happy to hear you love the Rooh Maxi Dress ~ Cacao and that it’s become a compliment favourite for you — and especially that you find it one of the softest DOI pieces you own.
We really appreciate you sharing your experience regarding the length as well. Some of our garments are made from a delicate cotton and therefore require a little extra care when wearing, particularly with longer styles.
Your feedback is very helpful and will be passed on to our team for review. It’s also lovely to hear you’ve been able to repair it and continue enjoying it. Thank you again for your support and thoughtful review. 🌼💛
The dress is beautiful & colours are just as lovely in person. The fabric is soft and lightweight which makes it very comfortable, but the dress is also very wearable due to the lining.
Your feedback made our day! We're delighted to have exceeded your expectations. 💐
This dress has the Best flow to it, while it is breathable for summer I think it would be great for fall and winter too! p. s. I thought it was breastfeeding friendly but it is Not, Just a heads up to other nursing mamas out there <3
💕🙏
I really love to wear this dress, i let me feel very feminine and elegant. I love the print and fabric. the cotton is very soft on the skin. I would loce to wear it every day. Als i’m skinny but very tall, the size L gives me the best comfort

The team is kind, fast, and patient. I got my dress in a lovely package. The dress has beautiful color and fits so comfortably. But the best part is the fabric! It is so soft and cozy. I have worn my dress at least once a week from getting it a month ago.
Hi Beautiful!It's wonderful to hear that you're happy with your purchase! Thank you for choosing us. 🤩🧡
Pretty design, currently unique design. I always love the sleeves and the light material. Just be careful not to get the material snagged. Will wear during the cooler months.
I bought the XL to make sure I had the length so it’s a smidge larger than I needed given my other DOI dresses were L. It is, as usual for this wonderful brand, a dress that makes me feel that I am wonderfully me while I’m wearing it!
Stunning dress made from the softest cotton and feels divine to wear. Absolutely love the hand blocked print and colours. Beautiful quality. Size guidelines are accurate.
Knowing you're happy with your dress makes our day. Thank you!
The dress is absolutely lovely, so light and airy. 🥰 The quality of the work is really good. The only flaw was that the neckline strings were missing finished ends. Delivery to Finland was surprisingly fast, only a week. I will probably buy another dress from this brand if it becomes available in the color and size I want.

Excellent, very easy to order from abroad (Sweden). Freight company took care of the tax declaration. Update of shipping was frequent and it was delivered in only one week from Australia to Sweden. Super!
Hi Lovely ~ Your feedback means the world to us! Thank you for sharing your experience. 💝🙏
I love how airy this dress is. The fabric feels amazing on the skin in the hot days
Great coverage yet so light weight!!!! Absolutely LOVE the Rooh Maxi ✨
Another beautiful dress by Daughters of India. I was so excited to see a brown boho dress that I just had to buy it. So glad I did. It’s perfect. I went up a size as I prefer the flowy look, but I would still say the dress is true to size
My item arrived so quickly and it’s exactly what I was expecting, lovely soft fabric with a beautiful light print, not over the top, it fits perfectly and I know I will get lots of wear from daytime, nighttime and weekends
This dress is light and dreamy to wear. Love the 70s style print. She is my favourite dress for the remainder of Summer.
🥰💐 Your love and support means a lot to us. Thank you so much
Bought this dress 2hand in size M and I'm so happy with my purchase. It feels amazing, is soft in touch, very light and flowy. Paired it with white cowboy boots. ""Verliebt"" means infatuated or in love in German.
🙏💕
Design: I love the dress! Beautiful flowing fabric. Size M : It fits perfectly for my 10-12 size. Quality issue: I have an issue with the quality of stitching of the top part. There is not enough of over lapping of fabric at the back. The ""skirt part"" (being heavy ) is pulling the fabric from the stitch. It creates holes at the back and I need constantly to repair it. Very disappointing as I have 4 other dresses from Daughters of India and never had a problem with quality.
