Hand screen printed
The making of Daffodil
Screen printing is a skilled process using large stencils stretched across printing tables to build designs layer by layer. Two artisans work in unison, pressing ink evenly through the screen to ensure consistency across the fabric.
This is my favourite dress from Daughters of India so far. It is a great length (I am 163cm). What I especially like is that it is fully lined. 3xl fits well so I was very pleased.
Daughters of India
Thank you for your lovely review Jacqueline! We're thrilled you love your Sita Maxi Dress ~ Daffodil! x
Chloe N. · Verified buyer · 17 March 2026
Beautiful dress. The only thing I wish is that I sized up. The elastic around the neckline is really tight so pulls the arm seems up and does not sit as low as the model. I’m a NZ size 8 and ordered a small. Once the elastic stretches a bit it will sit correctly.

Sita Maxi Dress - Daffodil
Stunning dress. It’s lined all the way and not see through at all. So comfortable and lightweight!True to size. I’m normally between a 10 and 12 for dresses and a size M fit perfectly with plenty of extra room.

lovely
I've worn this dress 5 or 6 times now and it makes me feel so pretty. The daffodil color is so cheery and is a true golden yellow. The lining is lightweight and just right so things don't feel see-through. This dress is cut a bit differently than some other DOI styles: as recommended do check the size guide specific to this dress, as you might need to size up. Also, the neck tie is not adjustable so the cut is a bit low but not indecent in any way. I'm a bit busty (C cup) but am fully covered up in this dress. Overall, I love it so very much and the fabric and fit are a dream! Plus, this company is just a wonderful place to spend your money while supporting others' excellent work. Win-win.
Daughters of India

Colour not pictured accurately
In person, the shade of yellow is much darker than what is pictured on the website. It is more like a dijon mustard tone. I don’t like it nearly as much as the pale buttery yellow that is shown. Also, the fit of this dress is much smaller and more tailored than the Kyra so you might wish to consider a larger size if you prefer a loose fit.

Rachael · Verified buyer · 19 March 2025
Beautiful and soft! I’m so glad they came out with this style and these colors! The other original style makes me look puffy. Very light and airy, but not see through because its double lined. I orderd my normal size (M). I have a bustier chest (36D) and there is plenty of room, which also helps with breastfeeding. The only con is it’s long… I’m 5’2” and it touches the ground (doesnt drag, but skims the ground). Still worth it and now I want in every color!
Peggy M. · Verified buyer · 12 May 2026
The dress fits well. I am 5'6" and the length is perfect. It is also well lined, however, the color is not what I expected. It is not what I would call daffodil. It is more gold or mustard. From the picture I was expecting something closer to yellow so I will be returning the dress.
Daughters of India
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Sita Maxi Dress Daffodil.💛

I am 170cm tall, bust: 105 cm, Hips: 120 cm and the daffodill messurements are: bust 104-106 cm and the hips 150 cmSo the size messurements are correct - go with this!I love the Company (slow fashion from women for women)I love the supportI love the qualityI love the structureI love the size messurementsAll dresses, bottoms and more are so beautiful.

Love my dress!
I’m so pleased with the dress, it’s so light and floaty but not sheer at all. I’m currently 3 weeks post partum and it makes me feel really beautiful - I also wore it at the end of my pregnancy too so worth the investment! I will say the yellow is slightly darker than the pictures but it’s still lovely

Beautiful dress. Made of the most beautiful soft fabric so light and silky. Size L fits me perfectly and I'm a size 14. Only thing is the colour is slightly more brownish yellow than shown in the pics.

Perfect for spring/summer
The fabric is soft, not see-through die to the lining, and very breathable. I’m tall so I wish it was a bit longer but otherwise it’s my new go-to summer dress.

This dress is very pleasant and easy to wear. I got it in Large (followed the size guide) for a fitted look I could have sized down. Loose still looks beautiful. It is lengthy (I am 5’5”) I wear heeled sandals with it.

DOI's best design yet
I am obsessed with this dress and would happily wear it 24/7. The material is lightweight and perfect for the warmer climate I live in but it also just sooo beautiful. The lower cut of the Sita dresses is especially flattering to women like myself who have a larger bust and I would love there to be several more colours in this design or potentially even a shorter version too. I'll cross my fingers in the meantime xx

Pregnancy-Friendly, Breathable & Beautiful
Dresses from Daughters of India have been on my wishlist for years, and I finally treated myself - it was absolutely worth the wait! Being pregnant, I really wanted a breathable cotton dress, and this one is perfect. I'm pretty sure it will also work wonderfully for breastfeeding later on. The lining is such a bonus - no more see-through worries!I own quite a few block-printed dresses from Jaipur, and while they often have pockets, they usually don't include lining. Maybe pockets could be a great addition for future designs (since we women end up carrying so much - not just emotionally, haha, but also in our bags!). All in all, I truly love this brand and this dress!
Daughters of India
Thank you for supporting slow fashion! We're glad you're loving your dress.

Akiko L. · Verified buyer · 9 April 2025
Sita dress
Size M is a great fit, only that the elastic around the top shoulder part came quite stretched, I am thinking of sending it off to a tailor; hence a 4 star. I thought it would be a drawstring top just like Ria dress. Actually perhaps that would be a better choice, a drawstring instead of a long elastic as it just won't hold up on a long run
Daughters of India
Hello Akiko,Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're really glad to hear that the Medium fit you well. We truly appreciate your feedback about the elastic on the shoulder, and we'll definitely share this with our design team.If you do decide to take it to a tailor, we hope it turns out just the way you want it.

More mustard yellow than bright yellow
I've been looking forward getting this dress in the mail and I have to say I'm a little bummed. It's not bright yellow like it is in the photos shown. It's like a mustard yellow almost green that is not bright at all and just kind of blah. Bright yellow is definitely a more flattering color, especially for summertime. But oh well. .
