I do like the print and the fit with the elastic is nice, however the fabric is itchy. I plan to soak it overnight in cold water and a softener.

Daughters of India

We're very sorry to hear you have found your dress to be a little itchy! I'm wondering if it may be due to being packaged for a while. Please let us know how you go with washing your dress. It should definitely soften with wash and wear. If you have any further issues, please reach out to us at hello@daughtersofindia.net and we will be happy to assist xx

Versatile design with pockets!

Overall very happy with the purchase. Minus 1 star for a slight siluette styling problem for not giving the flattering view from the front for a curvy figure. Love how it defines the waste at the back. The pockets are huge bonus, something a lot of other Daughters of India designs don't have. It also feels more versatile, you can wear it to work or go on holiday. What i didn't realise, there is an additional internal support structure that takes away the feel of fluidity and airiness other designs are known for. The sleeves are long and very wide. Some. ay find it not practical, but i like the way they feel. Overall a very nice piece, definitely recommend it.

Daughters of India

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review! 🖤 🤍
We’re so glad to hear you love the versatility, pockets and the way the Anika defines the waist. We also appreciate your feedback on the silhouette, internal shirring and sleeve design — it’s really helpful for us to hear how different details feel and work for our customers. 🌼
