How we make our pieces263 reviews of the Jasmine Midi Dress in Shell.
Light, airy, non- see through dress that fits well. I bought the XS jasmine midi and I’m petite, 5’3”, 32DD. If you’re any larger in the bust, size up to a S. The XS just fits, and fits like a comfortable glove in the chest. It isn’t too baggy in the body, but does have a ton of room for all types of bodies. I do hope they get some more colors, as this shell color isn’t very exciting, although it’s fine.
Loved how pretty the handmade prints & lightness of the fabric which lightened my mood in this hot summer. However I have to highlight although I lived, loved & appreciated how these delicate dresses are made. . the sewing stitches are loose at some parts . Also the sewing of the fabric into the trimmings at the bust area was not deep enough , which causes the fabric at the front bust area to fray out looking unsightly just after first single hand wash … so you do have to be really extra gentle when handwashing not pulling the dampened fabric stretching it too much . So I didn’t want to waste postage sending it back for exchange and did stitching the fraying fabric back . Overall , I feel Doi does v beautiful dresses , do 1-2 sizes up if your bust area is big for dress to easily slip on . In my case this midi is still slightly snug when I try to slip it on always worrying fabric will tear even though I already went 1 size up . Am still loving how these dresses made me look & feel pretty when I put them on, just hope it can last a few more wears before fabric starts to fray & tear easily even though I’m already consciously making sure I won’t tear the fabric when I wore them out last weekends

I love my new dress--first time I wore it, I got quite a few compliments. With the lining, it is modest (a must for teaching workwear), and it feels quite flowy, which is nice for the warm summer days. I love my new dress. I am normally an L, but in this brand, I am an XL. For reference, I am 5'10" and 185 lbs with a relatively small chest.
Your feedback warms our hearts. Thanks for sharing the love! 💜
I normally wear somewhere between sizes 22-26, and have ordered a number of Kyra dresses, which I love. So I thought I would give Jasmine a go, and I’m glad I did! I ordered a 3XL and am very happy with the fit. The silhouette is less voluminous than the Kyra, but there’s still enough room in the skirt that it skims over all my curvy bits without hugging or highlighting the areas I’d rather not focus on, and I say this as a girl with more than my fair share of bum! The chest has 2 ties which allow you to customise the fit somewhat. There’s definitely plenty of room for my D cup bust with both ties tied as tightly as they can go. I love this dress and I’m really pleased I took a chance on it. I’ll definitely be buying it in more colours.
Hello Beautiful ~ Thank you so much for your kind words! It makes our hearts full hearing that you loved your dress.Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.Much love 🙏✨💛
This dress is pretty and checks some of the boxes I was looking for. I like the way it fits in the bust and sleeve. The fabric is a bit thinner and more sheer than I was hoping for (even with the liner you can see undies through it unless they are perfectly matching your skin tone) and the skirt hits me mid calf, which is not super flattering (I am 5'10", so shorter gals needn't worry. . . ) I wore it once and saw a picture of myself in it and because it's so sheer you can see my skin through it I was really put off. . . and now it's hanging there looking cute but not something I will reach for again and again, sadly
My first DOI dress and I love it! Ordered M for my 12D Cup and fits perfectly. The material is super floaty, light and beautiful, and the color is very earthy toned! I'm short (5'2) and this dress is more like a maxi for me. Very happy and I've just ordered another style.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us Nadine!! 💗💛✨
Dreamy, exotic, elegant, bohemian. I love my Jasmine midi in Shell. I’m 51 yrs old, 5ft 7, size 14-16. The XL sits beautifully on me but beware - if you are blessed in the boobage department you might need to size up. Such a pretty frock- the owner of a local beachside boutique asked me where I bought it so I think that says something. Customer service is excellent (I had to return and exchange the Kyra in black because it sat high on the bust and didn’t feel flattering to me), they helped me choose the best design for what I wanted. Looking forward to wearing this in the Greek islands in May. Just one request- please put pockets in your dresses! Gals gotta have pockets!
I’m a big fan of DOI, I own several Kyra dresses and wanted to explore the Jasmine, I love the color, the print and the fit of this dress. I stayed with my Kyra M size and it fits very well, a bit more fitted around the bust but I think that is the way this dress is supposed to fit! I’m 5’2 140lbs for reference…
Man I love this dress but I made the mistake of not measuring my chest before ordering. I got my usual size (M) but it fit very tightly over my bust and gave me what I call “Bridgerton Boob”. I don’t like that look so I returned for a L. Absolutely adore the weight, the flow, the feeling of this dress when it’s on. I always get compliments! My only wish is that I lived in Aus, the shipping to/from USA is rough. If y’all ever stock in this country, please let us know :) For reference I am 5’2 (this is a maxi on me), 140 lbs, athletic build + curvy (34D).
I have purchased three other Daughters of India dresses. Since I am a US 12 I have gotten them in XL and they have been both too long and too loose. I have had a seamstress alter them all and they are still a bit loose in the bodice, but I think that is the way they are supposed to fit. The Jasmine arrived today and it is an entirely different fit and the best one yet for me. It is snugger by far in the bodice and just looks amazing. I am very happy with this purchase but be aware that this will not fit loose in the bodice. I wear a 38DD and it is almost snug but far more flattering than the looser models.
Just received this dress today and I am IN LOVE. It's seriously so perfect and so thoughtful in every way. The beautiful pattern, the cut, the ties, everything. I was worried it would overwhelm my frame (I'm 5'1" and 132 lbs) but it absolutely does not! I would say it's longer on me as a result, closer to a maxi, but still doable with ankle booties. I purchased a size small for those wondering. I love that it also has a slip attached on the inside to reduce the see-through factor of the fabric (which btw is SO SO soft and perfect). I can't wait to buy more DoI dresses and support an incredible company!! If you make this style in more colors and I will literally buy them all!!
Good morning beautiful Kris, Awwwww wow! We are blown away with your love and support. Your new Jasmine Midi Dress in Shell looks absolutely incredible! Yay 🤍✨ Much love and light to you Kris xxxxx
I've been eyeballing the shell colourway for a year, it finally came back in stock and I decided to invest. This is my fourth DOI dress and they're all so lovely. However, this is the strangest fitting one. The sleeves need some adjustments for the sizing of the bodice. Because you have to size up in this one due to the tight chest area (it's one size smaller than all of my other DOI dresses), the arms do not match the size difference. They're huge, while the bodice is the right size. For reference, I'm a size XL, but had to go up to a 2X which is true to the size chart for this dress. It's so pretty, but if I returned there would be no perfect fit for me. If I size down the chest will be too small. I do not have a large chest at a B cup, so I was surprised by this. I kept it because it's beautiful, but please adjust the sizing in the arms to match the upsizing for the bust! :)

Love this light, flowy dress! I also own a KYRA and there are a few key differences. It’s lined! I don’t mind the unlined Kyra style but sometimes more coverage is wanted. Speaking of more coverage, ready to show cleavage with this design. It’s a bit lower and more revealing than the Kyra. The Jasmine dress fits a bit more snug across the bust. It has a slightly more refined fit (less beach-day m, more garden party) but it is well made, breezy and a delight to wear.
Handmade with love, worn with gratitude — thank you for being part of our circle. 🥰
I was happy to discover that DOI have extended their sizes of some if their garments, and have changed the cuts a little bit so the dresses now also fit someone like me, who have very large breasts compared to many others. ThiS dress is fabulous! It fits me perfectly with no tight areas , and I am so happy. I love the dress in every way: fabric, cut, style, colour. . and I actually went ahead after having gotten this, and purchased two other dresses in this shop, in the same size, because I always loved DOI garments, but was waiting for the styles and sizes that fit my particular figure. I can also praise DOI for their good vibes and fast shipping. I live far away but the packets from DOI arrives faster than some from my own part of the world. Thanks💛
I absolutely love this dress, and it’s my third from DoI. I wore it today to a high tea and received lots of compliments. It was 35°c today in Queensland today and despite the dress being midi (I’m 160 cms) with long sleeves, the fabric was so light and floaty it was a dream to wear. I’m usually an AU size 8, with a 32E bust, and buy size small from DoI. The fit is perfect.
I will say the dress is beautiful and I love that the sleeves aren’t so bulky like the other dresses you have but the chest area was tight where the rest of the dress was great fitting! I ordered an xl which I thought would work but because there is no give in the way the top of the dress is made I ordered the xxl which I have not received yet so I’m hoping the dress at bottom won’t be so big and too much material! Fingers crossed! This is a beautiful piece! The one thing I will say is the sizing is all over the place! I got an xl in another dress and it was a little big but I kept it the rooh dress in the pink beautiful! I ordered the poet dress in large and it was huge! So it really is all over the place! Love the prints! Wish it was sized better

I bought this thinking it was a Maxi as I have it in Lavender and so wanted it in Shell I didn't even realise it was a Midi when it popped up as back in stock, oh well. The length is still okay. Love the colour, love the fit. I wear a Small in the Jasmine but a Medium in the Kyra (just for reference in case that helps someone). The only thing I'll say that I'm not loving is the trim on the Shell Jasmine, the trim that is used to tie the front of the dress is a bit too dark, in the photos it looks lighter but in real life it a deep cream has a yellow undertone which doesn't look great but I'll still wear it. I tried to capture it in a photo but couldn't, it just looks light cream in all the photos I took which isn't a true representation of the actual colour.

love how pretty this dress makes me feel! super flowy and dreamy. i’m 165cm (ptp 32”) and size s fit me perfectly.
🥰
Soft and feminine, this beautiful dress is perfect to look put together without thinking about it at all!. I only wished it had pockets then it would have been completely and utterly perfect 💓. Does run bigger, I normally wear Medium and Small fit well , but medium would have been a better choice if you have a bigger chest
I love my Jasmine midi dress. It’s beautifully made and the lightness and softness of the fabric makes it so comfortable to wear. Initially I had trouble working out the correct size for me and with guidance from the helpful team who had my measurements, I chose the S as I’m a size 8-10 normally. It transpired I should have ordered the XS as the S was a bit too voluminous. However, with a bit of tweaking I was able to alter it to fit me perfectly and I now know to order XS in future.

I ordered the Jasmine dress and it arrived in NZ in 5 days (although feel guilty about the carbon footprint!) Super-fast delivery and nicely packaged. A truly beautiful dress in a pretty, subtle print 🧡 This dress is a more refined version, smaller and true to size but still airy with the right amount of volume. So cool to wear, the delicate half slip is brilliant as it doesn't add weight. I ordered the Kyra midi last year but TBH unfortunately found it too voluminous-I felt like a tent in it and I am 175cm tall, so I on-sold it. However couldn't be happier with the Jasmine-it will be well worn!
I love this dress. Have looked at it for a while and finally purchased the S. I am an 8 top and 10 bottom and this size was perfect for me. Probably would fit a 10 top as well. Great length and lovely light weight cotton with lining that is a good length as well. Very happy with is gorgeous dress.
Love this new style (Structured neckline, less fabric and a slip!) I was a bit nervous choosing a size as its a smaller cut than standard dresses. I went with the size chart and crossed my fingers - I'm an AUS11 and ordered M(AUS10-12) - It was perfect!Eagerly awaiting to order this Midi style in another colour :)
Nicely packed and love the scent of Indian fabric as all the dresses I’ve bought. The Jasmine dress is beautiful, soft, flowing and having less material than Kyra is very flattering. The shell colour is subtly lovely. The fit is more snug but S was true to size. There were some loose hanging threads that I had to tie and snip and a few tiny blobs of brown on the lower section of the dress pattern but hey this is traditionally hand printed by local artisans 💗🙏
I love this dress! It's my second purchase and I wear these dresses all the time. I'm 5'3"" and 105 lb and the XS fit perfectly. I get compliments every time I wear them out! So comfortable and stylish and they move beautifully with the wind.
Hi gorgeous one, thank you so so much for your love and support ✨ 😘 xx
I received this for Christmas and love it (size L) - it's a little snug to put on over my chest, but once it is on, it's very flattering. I may size up to XL when I order new ones. My height 5'0 and weight 170 lbs.
Thank you so much for your review! We're thrilled to hear you love your dress. Please refer to our detailed size chart, here you will be able to use your measurements against ours and help determine your perfect size before purchase 💛
Perfect lightweight summer wear. The dress is flattering while also being comfortable and non restrictive. I was worried about it possibly being see-through in the sunlight but the built in slip did its job well.
Thrilled to hear your dress fits beautifully and adds effortless grace to your sunny days. 💫🩵
The dress is lovely, brings back nice memories of my summer vacations in India during monsoon months of July. The fabric is the light cotton we do not find so much here in Scandinavia, with patterns of Indian folkloristics. I ordered size L, just to be sure it would not be too small. I am size M. My dress maker did small alterations in the upper part as I often need to have done, without touching the fine handicraft of the embroidery. The length was just perfect for this season. Now I'm waiting for the sunny days to be able to wear it. I did not want to send it all the way back to Australia to be changed to size M. I did not need to pay taxes or vat extra.
Thank you for sharing your experience 💗🙏 From India to you — carried in kindness and woven in love.
Rather disappointed. I sent back 3cxl due to being so loose & gaping in the bust despite the reviews saying it was tight in bust. I received the 2xl & the size difference is crazy different. It felt 3 sizes smaller in the bust & was way too tight. I’m giving up & sending this one back too.
I have worn the Jasmine midi in Shell once - so pretty, so lightweight, so perfect for the heat of the American South. Unlike another reviewer's experience, my dress looks to be very well made. I had to handle it a good bit putting in an opera hem to shorten it by a couple of inches and didn't notice any sketchy seams. The sizing chart seems to be quite accurate, my dress fits perfectly. Tempted to buy another!
Thanks so much for your lovely review! We're so glad to hear the Jasmine Midi dress was a perfect match - especially for that Southern heat! It means a lot to know the fit, quality, and feel all met your expectations. We love that it's got you tempted for another, and would love to have you back if you decide to add another to your collection!Sending Much Love, Daughters of India 🙏💕
A beautiful midi dress that's lined so can be worn as a day dress. Runs true to size. Design could be improved by accomodating larger busted women on larger sizes. I'm DD and it is quite low and revealing.
Love how breezy this dress makes me feel, but as a larger chested gal, I do wish it had a zipper involved. It is a little difficult to get in and out of without fear you’ll accidentally tear it in the process. My dress also had a tear in the neckline where the cords are. The left side of the neckline also does not lay flat, which is not an huge issue when I wear a cross body bag, but is pretty evident when worn as is. I was disappointed by those details, but otherwise, dreamy dress.

I have quite a few Kyra’s and this is my first Jasmine. Being busty I had to wait until they made an extended size for this style and I’m thrilled they did! While the Kyra bust line sits above the bust this sits below and is so flattering! Hoping they come out with extended sizes for the other colors of the Jasmine so I can add those too! My DOI dresses are my go to everyday!!
I love this dress - the fabric, the print, the design - everything is carefully considered. The longer bust line (than the Kyra which I also own) is perfect for a larger bust giving the waist a nice shape. Would love to see this in an Olive colour way!Customer experience in the Byron boutique was exceptional. Excited to see future designs
I really love the fabric and the length. . . I am only 5ft2" so this is the perfect length for me. I found it a little big around the chest but I think it is supposed to be loose. . . Otherwise I love it and will be wearing it often in the Spring and Summer months
I purchased the largest size for Jasmine Midi Dress. . . I would prefer the 2XL, but your dresses do not accommodate for ample bust size. . . so I'm forced to size up to accommodate my chest which means the dress is way too wide at the shoulders, so I have to make alterations. Please consider larger bust sizes. . . I'm a DD. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback. I will pass your suggestion on to our team.Wishing you a beautiful day! 💛💫
This is my second Daughter's of India dress. I already have the Kyra midi. I am a plus sized woman and wear a 3x. When I tell you that finding quality clothing that means something is difficult, I'm putting it mildly. The fit of these dresses is so incredible. The sleeve cuffs are big enough, the bust is big enough, the shoulders are wide enough. The fabric is lovely. My favorite things to wear. Bravo!
Hello Beautiful!Your feedback means the world to us! We're thrilled to hear that you're happy with your dresses!💕 Thanks so much for sharing the love and your positive experience with us!Much Love xxDaughters of India ✨🙏
I just love my Jasmine dress. It feels like I'm wearing a beautiful cloud, it's light and so feminine. No issues about it being see-through because it has a slip! Check out the size chart details because the top is nicely fitted. Thanks again DOI, I love what you stand for and the uniqueness of your product.
I love it , the material is lovely and light. I unfortunately bought my normal size L and it’s a little tight in bust and I’m really hoping it doesn’t shrink !!I usually buy an L in all clothing and have lots of room 😢
I really love the dress however it took ages to come and when it eventually arrived I felt that it was a bit tight just under my bust! It isn’t as roomy as some other styles however as it took so long to arrive I daren’t send it back! I got a medium, I’ll be purchasing a large in future
Love this dress it flows and falls nicely from under the bust. I get lots of compliments when I wear it. The underskirt makes it more versatile as it is not transparent. The colour is lovely
Easy to order with informative sizing guide. Light and floaty material, well cut. Colour, design and fit as represented by advertising. Very comfortable to wear. I did find that the band on the sleeve was quite large, but easily fixed by threading some elastic into banding.
I bought this as a present for my daughter. She absolutely loves it. Thanks to a previous review I went a size larger and this was good advice for those with larger chests. The dress is beautifully made, the fabric is light and floaty and exquisitely lined to above the knee which still allows for a twirl if you feel so inclined! (As in a spin, not a chocolate😂!)
YAY! Thank you so much for your love and support Stacie, we really appreciate it. Such a gorgeous gift for your daughter 💗✨
This dress has a very pretty print and colour, unfortunately it was too tight across the bust (I did follow the measurement guide but just hoped It would fit with the tie up front😢). I have bought 4 of these dresses to date, they are light, breezy, pretty and comfortable, the other style fits my DD bust with lots of wiggle room. Absolutely wonderful for travel too
Hi gorgeous! Thank you so much for your continued support, we appreciate it so much ✨ We recommend sizing up with our Jasmine Dress, as it does sit slightly more fitted around the bust. If you need to exchange your dress for a replacement or different design, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Much love always xx
It’s beautiful material and it’s feminine and flowy everywhere except under the bust. I know I’m a “cuddly” size but it seems disproportionate to the sizing of the rest of the dress. I sent back for a bigger size but under the bust hardly changed so now I have massive sleeves and extra material everywhere but where I wanted it. Im unsure what size to order other dresses in now. No doubt though that the dresses are beautiful and the customer service is amazing.
Not as long as it looks online, but lovely that it is lined from the waist down. SO many of these dresses are completely see-through!
I had to send the first dress back because it fitted not as i expected and the color mango was not as bright as the picture , than Australia is so far away and both packages had to travel the world . No money back is okay but than i had to choose another one and another big travel of the dress but the jasmine xl is okay for me , a size bigger . It is a nice dress but somehow i expected more quality for the price i payed.

I love this dress…my only suggestion is to size up if you are large chested…the bust is much smaller than other DOI dresses.
Hi gorgeous one, Thank you so much for your recent purchase and message ✨💖 Our Jasmine dress is a completely different style to our other dresses and sits slightly smaller around the bust xxxx
I couldn’t wait for this to arrive and it’s just stunning. I love the style and while I’m a Kyra Midi devotee I love this as it has less fabric in it. The neutral colours are perfect. I hope this comes out in different colours. I’m an 6-8 and got a small, I like a bit of extra room. It has a 1/2 slip attached which is great.
Hi gorgeous one, Thank you so much for your review honey, we appreciate your continuous support always! You are the best xxxx
I have 7 or 8 Daughters of India dresses and this one is already going into heavy rotation! The style of this dress is a perfect balance between ease and elegance. The colors are understated, adding to the versatility of this piece. As a petite person full sleeves and longer styles can be overwhelming, but that's not the case with this dress. The drape is very soft and flattering.
AWWWW! Angel Terri, we appreciate you and your kindness and support so very much. Thank you beautiful woman. LOTS OF LOVE ✨😘🙏💛💕
