Inspired by a vintage silhouette and crafted with handloom fabric ~ a rare and exclusive sustainably handmade textile in modern times. This flowing oversized maxi length design features sparkling gold lurex and white detailing on a deep sapphire blue base, classic poet-style collar and optional tie, romantic billowy sleeves finished with soft elasticated cuffs, thigh high split on both sides and pockets at the hip.

Material ~ 100% Handloom Cotton.

The Poet Maxi is designed to be an oversized fit. If you prefer a more fitted style we recommend sizing down.

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.

Ethically handmade with love in India, The Poet Series serves to support local traditions and the preservation of the ancient artistry of handloom weaving.

The only of its kind

Our order of hand loomed fabric was distributed throughout an entire village in Southern India, roughly 100 homes worked on piecing the fabric for these garments together, providing employment and supporting the continuance of this tradition that holds an expected life-span of only 10-15 years. The Poet Series styles are destined to become vintage due to the rare exclusivity of hand-loomed fabrics in modern times.

They are truly an ode to slow fashion, watch the video below to learn more...

SO GORGEOUS!!!

I couldn't decide between this one and the red plaid - so I followed advice my sister gave me very early in life. I got both! Very lovely dresses, and so unique, special and handmade with love! ❤️ I'm planning to buy one for the same sister because it will look fabulous on her and I know she will love it! You may want to size down one on this.

Poet Maxi Dress

I've admired this dress for a while and was inspired by the recent sale to purchase it. The fabric is very pretty, but unfortunately a bit too sheer for me to wear day-to-day, which wasn't evident from the pictures. As I'm unable to return it, I'll be using it as a beach throw-on. I love the ethical practices of this company and have three or four of their dresses, and while pretty, they're all sheer, so that might be it for me.

Hello Lovely, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the beautiful Poet Maxi ~ did not meet your expectations. Depending on each individual, some may find our garments are sheer and this is something we do note in the product description.� We wanted to leave the flexibility of the garment up to the customer ~ many love the free flowing feeling whilst some may choose to wear a slip if desired. We find it is truely personal preference! We also do have some other styles on our website that are double lined, including the Rooh Mini & Maxi, the Uma dresses, the Nora Mini & Maxi, the Lalika and our Jasmine Midi & Maxi. I would like to confirm that all Clearance items are final sale: no returns, store credits, or exchanges on clearance items. This is a standard practise, by adhering to a no-refund policy, we can ensure the longevity and stability of our small business. This, in turn, allows us to continue collaborating with our artisans, supporting their families and communities, and preserving traditional Indian crafts and art forms. Thank you again for your feedback and for being a part of our community. Much love, Daughters of India ✨

Very amazing!!!!

I recently purchased the Poet Maxi Dress in Sapphire and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! The fit is perfect and very flattering, hugging my curves in all the right places. The material is high quality and feels luxurious against my skin. The color is absolutely stunning and the dress is even more beautiful in person. I've received so many compliments every time I wear it. Overall, I highly recommend this dress for anyone looking for a stylish and elegant option for any special occasion.

So comfortable yet classic

I recently wore my Nora Noir Maxi, to a 3 hour long theatre production, in hot and humid Sydney. Some people were more dressed up and some people were more dressed down, but I am sure that I was one of the most comfortable members of the audience!
