Handloomed

The making of Vanilla

Hand-looming begins with artisans carefully preparing yarn by cleaning, spinning, and winding fibres into strong thread. The yarn is then stretched, naturally sized, dried, and set onto a traditional wooden loom—a process that takes days to complete.

Lovely dress

I’m fairly new to DoI and within 2 months I now own 5 of their dresses. The Poet in vanilla is one of my favorites. I’m tempted to buy another color. All their dresses are lovely and so comfortable making those hot summer days more tolerable. I did size down in this dress to a medium and it fits perfectly. For their mini and sheer style dresses, I prefer Boxer/biker (huha or thigh society) shorts for added coverage.

Daughters of India

Excellent, except too short for t. v.

I love to wear this item. It’s so comfortable and loose and whimsical. But I can’t leave the house or everyone will see my underwear. I’m 5’8” with a longer torso than some.
