The Sundress Midi in Marmalade features a warm, sun-drenched terracotta adorned with a delicate hand screen-printed grid — fine white lines forming a gentle check pattern across the fabric, beautifully subtle and unmistakably handcrafted. With a sleeveless silhouette, adjustable tie gathering at the neckline, decorative trim along the sleeves & hem, and convenient pockets, it's perfect for warm summer days or layered during the cooler months.

Fabric & Feel

Crafted from a naturally breathable blend of linen and LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose — derived from 100% sustainable forestry and produced using processes that reduce water consumption, support quick biodegradability, and ensure full traceability from source to garment. Lightweight with a beautiful drape and a soft, natural hand feel.

Fit & Sizing

This style is an oversized fit. We recommend sizing down for a more fitted look.

Garment Care

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.

Lovingly handmade in India, each piece may vary slightly in colour — a natural part of its unique beauty.

25% Linen, 75% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose

Smooth with beautiful drape and soft flowing movement. A comfortable and effortless, medium weight opaque fabric.

DISCHARGE SCREEN PRINTED IN INDIA

Discharge printing begins by dyeing the fabric before a special paste is hand block or hand screen printed onto the surface. Fine corn flour is dusted over the fabric to guide precise placement, with the process requiring warm conditions to react correctly.

The fabric is then dried and steam-cured, releasing colour from the printed areas. After washing and finishing, the design emerges as a soft, breathable print that feels seamlessly part of the fabric.

Empowering women

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.
