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💛🙏✨
