Fabric Details

95% organic cotton, 5% elastane
Light / medium weight fabric - 185 gsm

Garment Care
  • Wash separately (or with other like colours), as your piece will bleed a little colour in the beginning. 
  • Wash only in cold water. Warm or hot washes will make your piece bleed more colour. Machine wash is fine.
  • Dry only in the shade. Direct sunlight will fade your piece.
  • Do not soak - this will cause dye to transfer around the garment, causing patchiness or stains.
  • Ironing is not necessary, simply hang your piece correctly when drying.

Customers love this flattering dress made from soft organic cotton. Many praise the "beautiful colour" and "perfect fit," with adjustable drawstrings for waist emphasis. Shoppers recommend sizing up as it runs small and can be "a bit tighter than wanted." The fabric is thin but comfortable. One customer noted the pale blue stains easily.

I am so very happy with this dress. It’s fits perfectly and looks amazing. The colour is slightly darker than I imagined, but I assume it will fade a little with the first wash. Absolutely delighted with all my purchases, you have a lifelong customer now

Stunning colour

The colour is just gorgeous, the fabric feels really lovely and has a quality feel to it. It falls well and I'm loving wearing it. The side toggles allow you to add complimentary shape to it if you're belly isn't flat. Surya's service was fantastic. The first size I had was just a bit small for me (size 12) I found sizing up 2 sizes ( to the extra large) worked best as I didn't want it tooooooo clingy. If you don't mind things being a little snug I'd just size up one. I received the replacement yesterday and I'm really comfortable with the fit. it was a super easy process to return and they got me the new size very quickly. Thanks for your friendly help and quick turnaround team Surya.

I love this dress! The drawstrings on the side can be adjusted to emphasize your waist. The cut is flattering. I ordered up a size and it is perfect—the fabric is a little spandex-y, so I didn’t want it to cling too tightly.

Love the dress

A beautifully made and well fitting dress. Sizing is definitely on the small size, but because I read the size guide on the website, I knew to size up. Great berry colour, and it's so comfortable to wear. I only wish you made it in some other colours - blue, black?

Organic Cotton Priya Dress

I bought this dress in the red shade and loved the style, fit and quality so much I bought it in beige. Flattering and easy to wear either casually or dressed up.

I love your clothing and the ethics behind your business. In the interest of diversity and inclusivity, which I am sure you would support, would it be possible to please show some of your clothing modelled by women who are larger than the 6 - 10 size range. The majority of women do not fall into this range and it would be helpful to see some of the clothing on other size models.
Many thanks.

Surya

Hi Gillian, you're absolutely right, and yes we will be having different shaped models in our next campaign (in around August this year). We also place huge importance on this and cannot wait to show you all a fuller range of body shapes, ages and heights on our pieces so everyone feels represented and confident on how it might look on them. Thank you, and watch this space a little later in the year! Mel

Is this dress suitable for breastfeeding? Does it stretch at the neckline? It's hard to tell.

Surya

Hi Coriander, while the fabric is quite stretchy, I'd say no to being suitable for breastfeeding. You may be able to stretch it that far, but if you do it repeatedly it eventually may not go back into shape as it's not really designed to do that. I hope that helps! Mel

I adore my clothing so far. I want to buy the Priya Dress. I am tiny and don't mind wearing tighter styles. My breast measurement indicates I should order an extra large!!! I usually wear small to medium clothing. Advice?

Surya

Hello! The organic fabric in our Priya Dress is very stretchy, and when measuring the size guide I have only measured the piece at rest (not stretched). All our models are wearing the size small so you can see the natural stretch on the dress, especially at the bust / chest area. I hope this helps!
