The higher order solutions of dust acoustic wave in dusty plasma consisting of positively charged warm adiabatic dust, negatively charged cold dust, and nonisothermally distributed electrons are studied. The Schamel-KdV equation is derived using reductive perturbation method (RPM). RPM is further extended to include the contributions of higher order terms and a generalized KdV equation is derived to observe the deviation from isothermality. Effects of nonisothermal parameter, mass and charge ratio, ratio of ion to electron temperatures, and ratio of dust to ion temperatures have been thoroughly studied. By using the renormalization method of Kodama and Taniuti [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 45, 298 (1978)], authors have also discussed characteristics of the dressed solitons.
