(SPOT.ph) Here's a telltale sign that you're becoming a tita: You like wearing Mom's or lola's dasters now. But regardless of age and design preferences (they usually come in bold, colorful ones), they're really comfortable AF. We totally get it if you want these day dresses for yourselves. You can continue borrowing from mom, but just in case you want to stock up for yourself (and with a more simple and sophisticated look that you can wear outside), you can check out local brand Owa Sylvia and their latest day dresses.

Local brand Owa Sylvia has new dresses like Mom's dasters.
Leave it up to Owa Sylvia to make chic "indoor dresses for going places." The brand seamlessly blends vintage and nostalgia into function and style with their day dresses (with pockets!) through their daster collection. Recently, they added two new silhouettes to their roster, plus new colorways on some of their classic styles.
The first new design is the Bubble Daster, a gathered mini-dress with a garterized neckline and a bubble skirt (also called a balloon skirt or tulip skirt).
The second is the Grocery Daster, a peignoir-inspired day dress with an extra puff on the skirt. Like the daster, the peignoir is a light dressing gown. It's their version of a no-bra, grab-and-go dress. This one is more likely at the same length as the dasters you have at home, sans the patterns and designs, but with pockets and an added gothic feel.
Both look light and freeing, which is exactly what we need under the heat we're experiencing right now—and with functional pockets.
The dresses are available in their usual fresh summer colors like white, mandarin, and pink. They also added two "new-ish" colorways like the canary, which is this bright, eye-catching yellow, and, if you want a more versatile look, go for the navy, which is a deep blue.
Who is Owa Sylvia?
Owa Sylvia, whose real name is Sylvia Borja, has been making dresses for over 50 years. Owa is what her grandchildren fondly call her. The IG cult-fave brand started when she made PPEs (personal protective equipment) for her family during the pandemic. They became a hit. Then, the dresses followed—and became an even bigger hit.
