Dresses for Women, Pooja Aggarwal
Explore hand-illustrated dresses made for daily wear, travel, and festive occasions. At Pooja Aggarwal, every dress begins as an original illustration before it ever becomes fabric. Founder Pooja Aggarwal, trained at Chelsea College of Art in London, brings an artist's eye to every print, translating hand-drawn detail onto breathable, wearable cloth. The brand launched in New York in 2012 and opened its New Delhi store in 2023, carrying the same philosophy across both cities: fashion should feel like art you can live in, not something mass produced on a factory line.
Each dress in this collection is made in limited runs, so no two seasons repeat and no print becomes overly familiar. Whether you're dressing for a regular weekday, a weekend trip, or a festive evening, the range is built to move with you through different moods and occasions, without ever losing the hand-illustrated character that defines the brand.
Shop the Range
Daily Wear Dresses: Comfortable, breathable cotton with subtle illustrated detail woven into the print. These are the dresses meant for real, everyday life, running errands, working from a cafe, or meeting friends without needing to overdress. Pair with sneakers or flats and let the print do the talking. Ideal for everyday errands and casual outings, these pieces are designed to be worn often, not saved for special occasions.
Resort Wear Dresses: Light, flowing fabric with vibrant, original prints that capture the feeling of a getaway. These dresses are built for warm climates and slower days, whether that means a beach in Goa or a hillside resort. Style with flats and a wide sun hat, and let the silhouette move freely. Perfect for vacations and resort days, this is where the brand's illustrated prints feel most at home, easy, unhurried, and full of color.
Summer Dresses: Airy silhouettes designed to keep you cool through the hottest months without compromising on the hand-illustrated detail that sets the brand apart. Breathable fabric choices mean these dresses work as well for a midday errand as they do for an evening out once the sun goes down. Great for warm-weather days and brunches, the summer dress edit is where comfort and print come together most naturally.
Designer Dresses: For moments that call for something more considered, the designer dress collection offers statement illustrated pieces with elevated tailoring. These are the dresses built for evenings that matter, dinners, celebrations, or nights when you want the outfit to carry the room. Pair with heels and minimal jewellery so the print remains the focus. Ideal for evening occasions and dinners out, these pieces sit at the more elevated end of the collection.
Printed Dresses: Bold, original hand-illustrated prints take center stage in this edit, each one designed to stand on its own without needing much styling. These dresses work equally well layered under a denim jacket for a casual day or worn alone for something simpler. Perfect for everyday layering, this range is for anyone who wants their outfit to start a conversation.
Cotton Dresses: Breathable, easy-care fabric made for all-day comfort, whether you're traveling, working, or simply moving through a busy day. Cotton remains one of the most versatile materials in the collection, holding illustrated prints beautifully while staying practical to wear and maintain. Ideal for daily wear and travel, these dresses are built to be lived in, not just admired.
