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 blue 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 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. The latest 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.

Norah aquamarine maxi

Love the fabric feel and fit of this dress! The material is very delicate and needs to be carefully handled to avoid tearing

Floaty, Feminine Nora

I've worn my Nora Maxi Dress in Aquamarine dress twice since receiving it last month. Both times I really appreciated the softness and airiness of the light fabric. I also felt really pretty and feminine in it and received compliments to that effect.That makes anyone feel good. Thank you DOI.

Nora Maxi dress = maxi happiness

I’m over the moon with the fabric and softness of the dress. Even more so with a phenomenal customer care. I ended up exchanging the dress and the way how it was dealt with was just beyond professional and amazingly empathetic and human. I trust this wholesome brand with my heart and I will keep coming back to DOI to source beautiful pieces into my sustainable wardrobe. Thank you!

The. Perfect tea party dress

I purchased my DOI dress for a tea party and it was just perfect. It was a hot rainy day. It came a downpour during out outside tea party. I was soaked! The dress held up amazing and due to the lovely light and airy fabric, it dried quickly. The full flowing fabric did not cling while wet, which was an added bonus. I recieved many compliments on my dress. The fit was perfect also. I absolutely love the button detail. My only wish would be adding pockets! I have already ordered and received my second dress in Pepper,with pockets. I have two more of your dresses in my cart that I will order soon. I love the red mini dress, but wish the color came in a maxi. I’m debating the mini, due to my age,68. I prefer at least one length. I’m 5’5’ and not so sure it’s long enough. Thank you for making such a lovely dress. Mom to 16 through adoption and grandma to 30. In SE Ok, USA
