Happily overwhelmed by the sights, sounds and colours of Jaipur’s old city, my head was turned by the piles of brightly coloured block printed cottons for sale.

I picked up a pretty one, took it to a tailor and asked for the perfect shirt dress: pockets, tidy little collar and buttons all the way down the front. The first Daydress.

I had always loved block-print and began developing my own print patterns for dresses in 2017. I was working full-time at House & Garden magazine and Daydress was a side project which stealthily became more demanding, so in Summer 2021 I began full-time Daydress.

Although our main focus is dresses, the many other applications for our prints are irresistible so there is always a surprise around the corner!
