Finding Her Independence
Left behind when her parents and 2 brothers moved to Mumbai, Sadhna, a tailor at WARE collective, only joined them when she turned 18. Denied a decent education, she took her future into her own hands. After completing a tailoring course she worked from home. She joined WARE because being part of a group provided friends, support and new opportunities. Her earnings gave her independence and status. With her saving she was able to help her father repay debts. Now he consults her about any major expenditures.

Comfortable Sun Dress
Jun 11, 2023 | By Pattie Ann
This is a great Sun Dress. The material is light weight and stitching beautiful. I like pockets and so glad this dress has them. It is hard to find petite sun dresses with pockets and aren't made of patterned material. Thank you for offering this dress for sale and thank the people who made it.

Nafisa Dress Lapis
Jun 13, 2023 | By Susan
Just what I have been looking for-an ankle length all cotton dress in a beautiful color! The material is not thin so I can even wear it into the fall and spring with a wrap or a sweater. The embroidery is simple and lovely. Thank you, all you creative women who were involved with creating this perfect dress for me!
I am looking forward to many seasons.

Beautifully constructed, gorgeous color
Jul 15, 2023 | By Karen van Kriedt
I have never been disappointed by Handwork of India. The fabric is high quality, the workwomanship is stellar, the designs are comfortable and flattering at the same time. And all that at an affordable price tag. I'm not as tall as the models so I do take up the hem, and I size down for a more modern fit (I'm large busted which skews my sizing anyway). I love the touches of embroidery that makes each piece thoroughly unique. Handwork of India is my favorite source for clothing! I send gratitude and appreciation to all the makers involved.
