Such a lovely piece! Love it 🥰
I received numerous compliments whenever I wear this out. It is light and easy to wear. The blue and yellow plaid is the sweetest combi. Love it so much :)

Love this dress
This dress is lovely, its a great length for a shorter person, the belt gives a lovely shape to it and the neck detail gives it a special touch. I’m very happy with my purchase. Looking forward to it coming out in other colours!

Gorgeous
I treated myself to this dress for Christmas day. When I tried it on it was so light, flowy and comfy that I couldn't wait and wore it that night to my daughters concert. Gorgeous quality. Cool enough for Aussie summer. Love it 😀

THE Cutest!
I love this dress! The belt is a fun option. Adore having pockets. The photos do not do justice to how beautiful the hand smocking is up top.
Daughters of India
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback 💕 We're so happy that you love the dress—pockets really do make everything better, don’t they? 😄 We agree, the hand smocking is such a special detail, so we're glad it’s even more beautiful in person!With love,Daughters Of India

Lovely Dress
This is my fourth dress from daughters of India. While I love the print, the cute sleeves, and quality of material. Dress fit is different than other dresses from I bought, the collar is tighter and length shorter than expected, it’s also a bit see through. Not sure how to wear it to be honest. Will probably need another slip dress underneath it.
Daughters of India
Hello Lovely,Thank you for your message. All of our garments have a sizing chart available for you, this is an amazing way to determine which dress will be perfect for you before purchasing. Please go off the measurements around your bust for the best determination for your size 🧡We do recognise that these beauties are sheer and have noted this on our website. This was to leave the flexibility of the garment up to our customers so they can choose to wear something under them or not. We recommend using a nude underwear set, or a little slip from your local department store if that would suit you better. It's a personal preference, but, we are certainly taking onboard this feedback and looking into another avenue as far as a slip is concerned to be able to offer another option to our customers. We hope this helps! The DOI Team💛🙏✨

A great addition to my wardrobe
The colors of this plaid fabric are great - not too bright nor muted. This dress looks great with leggings.

Lovely dress
I really love this dress. I have been looking at it for so long and finally I just couldn't resist. And Im so happy I gave in and ordered it after all. The colours are beautiful, its the perfect length, and feels light and comfy. Looks very cute and flattering. I can't wait for the weather to arm us so I can start wearing it.

A dress to brighten your day
This dress exudes sunshine and the promise of summer days ahead. Its flattering design will suit different body shapes and the colours make it easy to accessorise a summer wardrobe. Not see through at all.

My newest favourite all seasons moment
I’ve been layering this with fuzzy stocking recently and feel so good for a wintery outfit, yet I also know I’ll be wearing all summer to. The cut and colour are both so flattering and versatile!
