Celebrating our slow fashion ethos, Nora is an ode to the art of handmade. Beginning with four wood blocks intricately hand-carved to create two traditional jaal and buti floral designs, skilled artisans then use the blocks to slowly and carefully hand print delicate pink hues upon the softest cotton voile. Tiers of printed fabric have then been gracefully layered and finished with mother-of-pearl buttons from bodice to base, forming this free flowing feminine style lovingly hand-crafted by a small group of women in Jaipur, India.

*Please note due to this style's production process taking several months to create, each Nora maxi dress is completely unique and one-of-a-kind and is only available in extremely limited quantities. Colour variations may occur due to the handmade nature of this garment.*

Material ~ 100% Cotton. This style features an underlining, covering the bodice to the base of the second last tier on the maxi length skirt. This release of the Nora maxi dress has been crafted with a slightly more full bodied cotton - we hope you love the update as much as we do!

Garment Care ~ 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.

Hand block printed and handmade with love in India.

Long time looking at the dress that I wanted

For a very long time I had been wanting this beautiful dress then while on vacation in Fiji, I saw a lady with it on. Naturally I told her I knew that her dress was from Daughters of India. She laughed and couldn't believe that I knew where it was from. I told her that I had been wanting to get the dress for many months. She said that she was the same then told me just to get the dress!! So I did - and I love it. The fabric is lovely and soft, the design flows so beautifully and I feel so elegant in it. If you've been considering getting the dress...get the dress!! You won't regret it!

It’s amazing how these connections happen! ✨ Thank you for sharing your journey and for encouraging others to take the leap too! With so much love, Daughters Of India

My stunningly beautiful Nora maxi dress in Primrose arrived the other day, and am wearing it today for the first time. I think I received over 20 compliments on how gorgeous it is. The soft cotton is like nothing I've ever worn before. Now, I want more. Hopefully the black one comes back in stock. ❤️

So flattering and feels amazing. Very feminine. I suggest sizing up. I’m usually a medium but bought the large and there’s room in the bust without it being too big.

Fabric is different from the original

I had high hopes for this Nora Maxi because I absolutely loved my Nora Mini — it was perfect. While the maxi looks beautiful, the shipping was super fast by the way, the fabric felt noticeably different the moment I touched it. It’s heavier and stiffer when worn, lacking the delicate, flowy feel I expected. It seems similar to the Kyra dress fabric, possibly more durable but not what I was hoping for. I’ll likely return it due to the fabric change. Please consider bringing back the original fabric and offering petite sizes!

We're truly sorry to hear that the Nora Maxi didn't live up to your expectations - especially after how much you loved the Nora Mini. That means a lot to us, and we never want to disappoint our returning customers.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we'll be sharing it with our design team as we work to improve future collections. We also really appreciate your suggestions about bringing back the original fabric and offering petite sizing - both are on our radar, and hearing this directly from you helps us prioritise what matters most to our customers. If you decide to return the Nora Maxi dress, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at hello@daughtersofindia.net. � Thank you again for your honesty and for giving us the chance to make things right.
