Hand block printing is a traditional artisan technique that uses hand-carved wooden blocks to print fabric by hand. Rooted in Indian craft traditions, the process is slow and highly skilled, beginning with carving wooden blocks and carefully preparing the fabric.
How we make our pieces184 reviews of the Kyra Maxi Dress in Coral.
Slightly generous. Size down if between sizes.
At first I was very mixed due to price. It easily became a favorite and frequent go to. It did have some snags, luckily I can sew, so I fixed them. Overall I do love it more than I expected. I do wear a small slip when it's really bright out due to the sheerness. I am 5'5". 185 lbs. This is a L and fits perfectly.
Great customer service and dress. I adore it so much, I bought the second colourway. Big boobs - size up, I did on review advise from others, and very happy. It was the only concern I had before ordering. I knew the fabric is light and sheer, I wear a light slip underneath if going out, but don’t bother at home. So nice to wear in the heat. Perfect full maxi length for me 173cms tall. Still obsessing on one other style hoping it comes back in stock soon.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re so glad you’re pleased! ✨
Another stunner! As soon as i saw this had come back in stock i snapped it up as i have had my eye on it for months! It is officially my favourite DOI dress yet (and I have two others which i love!). The coral colour is so pretty and summery it’s beautiful!It is a little sheer, but UK ladies, I bought a nude slip from M&S which works perfectly under my kyra dresses!Size wise I find the XL to be a perfect, slightly loose fit for me as a size uk 14. The maxi length is so flattering as a taller lady too, i am 5 9 and the maxis are what i go for. DOI if you bring out more maxi colourways i will be buying them!!!Also, shipping to the UK was incredibly fast, only took about 5 days! And I wasn’t hit with any customs fees! Result!10/10 cannot fault Daughters of India as a brand💕

Giving a 3 star review for 2 reasons. 1. How sheer it is. You will most likely need to wear a slip underneath or use it as a swim cover up which limits its wearability. 2. The fit for the plus sizes is off at the chest/ waist level. It sits too high so it's more like a front yoke instead of a bodice. For reference, w/o a bra the waist seam sits a couple inches above my apex (I'm only a C cup) and way too high above my waist (I'm only 5'5") so it's not a very flattering silhouette and does not match the smaller sizGiving a 3 star review for 2 reasons. 1.

Hello Jasmine, Thank you so much for reaching out about this! 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.✨ Regarding your concerns about sizing and fit, our dresses generally range from AU 6-20, and many of them have a free-flowing design. We understand the importance of finding the right fit, especially with different body types. For a more accurate assessment, we recommend checking out the detailed measurement chart available for each garment. Additionally, we have women of various shapes and sizes sharing their experiences on TikTok, providing real-life representations of how our dresses fit different body types. If you need further assistance or have any other questions, feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team at hello@daughtersofindia.net. We're here to help!The DOI Team💛🙏✨
It's just STUNNING! The print is gorgeous and the print is so pretty and soft. The images shown are very true to life in terms of how it looks when you have it in your hands. This dress is so light to wear and fits very nicely leaving you with a flowing silhouette. I wore it around London and had people asking me where my dress is from which is always the highest compliment. I got a size Large and am a UK 14. The large fits perfectly around my bust and the seam sits underneath (I think it looks better that way). I love it! Thank you so much for another perfect dress, DOI!! x
This dress is stunning - floaty, light and perfect for summer. I'm 5'2'' and was worried it would be too long, but the hem comes to just above my ankle - perfect. Have brought flesh-coloured underwear as it can be a little see-through. Neckline (seam at decolage) is a little deep so can see bra a little, but otherwise perfect!
Thank you for sharing the love! We're thrilled to have made your experience memorable. Sending love,Daughters of India xx 🧡🙏
I'm absolutely in love with this dress. The fabric is so incredibly soft, the pattern is to die for, and the the movement of it when moving is like a dream. I feel so beautiful and free when I'm wearing it and can't wait to have it for years to come. Every time I've worn it so far I've gotten so many compliments and questions about where it's from. For reference, I'm 5'2", 115 lbs, 36" bust and got a size Small. It fits perfectly!
Hi Jennifer, Thank you so much for your love and support ✨💛 You just made our absolute day!! Thank you for sharing us your positive review xxx
My first dress from DOI. Very cute pattern and beautiful. Love the design. I'm 148cm tall, and the dress was an XS size that ended below my ankles. You will need to wear something inner underneath.
Thank you for your kind words, and support. Much appreciated!🧡💫
I love the dress, but I wished it was a little longer for a maxi dress. I am 1. 74 cm, same height as one of the models, so I compared from the size chart and model height mentioned, but the one I was receiving was a lot shorter than what the size chart said and more like a midi on me. Costumer service was brilliant though, and send me an replacement there was longer. I would love the maxi's to be 5 cm longer, I know it will be too long for shorter women, but it could really be a wrap if they were made in 2 length, so the ""tallies"" can get a maxi with ancle length/almost to the floor😉 I love the light fabric and that the dress has pockets
Wow!! Stunning! Thank you for your kind words and feedback. I will pass your suggestion on to our team.Sending love 🧡💫
Such a beautiful dress in person. I am 5. 8'' and needed to size up for length. The extra fabric just hangs beautifully. If you have a very slim build, you probably wouldn't need to size up. This is a gorgeous dress you will be so happy to have!
Hello Lovely,Your feedback means the world to us! Thank you for sharing your experience. 💝
I love everything about my dress. I have two now and not only do I get a ton of compliments on the dress, but I love how I look in it. It's made with thought and quality. I love the story behind this brand and I'm now a customer for life. I will say it's meant to be a little sheer, you might need a slip. . . but I like this style. I wore it with tights (March in Canada), and I wore it with a swimsuit underneath. . . and to dinner with just nude undergarments. The print is perfect, so pretty in real life. You won't regret it. You'll have these pieces forever.
Your review made our day extra special. Thanks a million! Your words are a true gift. Thanks for being an amazing customer!Sending our love,DOI team xx 💝
Love this as much as the Kyra midi in yellow I ordered last month. So comfortable. I ordered a L in the midi to be sure my knees were covered (I’m 5’9). I ordered a M in this Kyra maxi to try and cut back on the amount of material that seems to accentuate my very large backside. If I was bigger busted, this M would not have worked. I will continue to buy from this site, but will order L’s knowing that there is a lot of material.
I absolutely love the quality, fabric, feel and print of this dress. It’s so dreamy, but as a DD gal and reading other past comments I knew I’d have to size up. I went an XL to be on the safe side, but unfortunately it’s too big on my frame and too tight on my chest - otherwise I would be buying a heck more of these in other prints!
I think I’ll like it better after washing it. The fabric isn’t as soft and “floaty” as I’d hoped but it does feel like it has some starch/dressing in it. It will also fit better when it’s softer. It arrives very large! The print and finish is very good.
こちらは、ふんわり、広がるラインで、可愛らしいドレスでした。コーラルと言う色も可愛いです。Sを購入しましたが、マキシ丈で着るには、私には少し短かった様にも思いました。素材は、カイラやシータも柔らかいけれど、それらより、柔らかい気がします。袖が長くても、軽くて、柔らかい素材なので、暑い夏でも、涼し気に着られる事間違い無しです！夏にドレッシーな服を着られるのが、楽しみです。素敵なドレスを、いつも本当にどうもありがとうございます！
Thank you for choosing our designs! We hope you enjoy wearing your dress. 💚
I love this company and their dresses. The Kyra midi is my favorite. I’m 5’4 140lbs. The large fits me perfect. It washes up nicely. The maxi has way to much fabric for my shape and feels like a tent on me. It’s beautiful but not flattering on me. Returning it for another midi. I get many compliment’s when wearing it.
The material is divine, lovely print and colours. The only issue I had was the band coming over top of breasts not underneath, it still fitted me though. Bit disappointing but beautiful fabric although would need a petticoat as it’s see through.

Absolutely beautiful handcrafted dress! Fabric is light and flows well. Definitely a Summer dress! Purchase one size down as DOI dresses run large.
Thanks lovely for your wonderful review. We're delighted to have met your expectations. ✨🧡
Nice pattern and I love how light the fabric is and the fact that the dress has pockets, big plus. I would have loved that it was a bit longer (to the floor) though. Maybe an idea of making the dresses in 2 length for the maxi dresses. I know they can be too long for the shorter women and the tallest 176 as me longer for some more cm😄 I have 6 DOI dresses and just added the new Nora in Aqua Marine today
Hello Beautiful! 😍 We're so grateful for your positive feedback. It means the world to us! I will pass on your suggestion to our team xxMuch love! ✨💛
I absolutely love this dress. The feel of the fabric, the cut, the fit, the color, the flower print - just beautiful. I feel beautiful and comfortable in it and I love the ethos behind the brand. It was shipped to Mozambique, and it arrived in perfect condition and i had no issues (which was one of my major concerns because getting things delivered here doesn't always work out). However, i do have some problems on mine with the finishing especially around the colar where the neck binding is sticking out quite visibly, the the wrist cuffs are not aligned so there is some bunching, the gathering stitch for the sleeve hasn't been pulled out or covered so you can see it. I've worn it once and i can already see some that some areas will tear especially around the wrist. Considering the fabric is quite delicate, i'm worried that this will not last and for the price it's just a real pity. I would love to order some other dresses, and I'm constantly scrolling the site, but finding it hard to justify the price for a garment that is handmade yet poorly finished.

I finely bought this beautiful dress and boy how I love it!! I feel so beautiful in it. Daughters of India thank you for making these lovely dresses. It is my first but not the last one. I'm obsessed with a lot more dresses. I'm now looking for my second dress but which one?! 🤣 For the measuring; I'm 1. 67 and a size 40/42 and I bought an L. And it fits great!
Hi Lovely,We're delighted to hear that you're happy with your dress!Thanks for choosing us, and sharing the love! 🧡
Love this dress as the materials light and floaty. It is sheer but there's enough fullness in the bottom it doesn't look too sheer. I'm a size 14 and bought a large. I have a few DOI dresses now and love the mission of DOI supporting people of India in employment, reskilling and supporting wellbeing.
Hello Lovely,Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so grateful for your support and thrilled to hear that you're pleased with your dress!Much love 🧡
This dress is so light and perfect for the warmer days. I'm a usual 18/20, and the xl fits perfect. The arm bands around mid arm are not stretchy. I would love to this in more of your dresses. Also maybe shorter sleeves. . but it doesn't ditract from the beauty of this dress. I also love that it's unique.
This dress is just heavenly! It feels wonderful to wear and the print is beautiful. The material is super soft, and I love that it has pockets! Not my first DOI dress and it certainly won’t be my last. I’m wearing a small which is a great overall fit (I’m a UK size 8/10).
OMG - my second DoI dress, and I love it! Perfect fit, beautiful floaty fabric (I have a light cotton petticoat that I wear with the dress). Washes beautifully, and a few minutes with the iron and the dress looks perfect.
Hi gorgeous, Awww this is so sweet. We really appreciate all of your love and support. Kind regards, DOI team 🤍 ✨
I have had my eye on this stunningly beautiful dress for sometime and finally decided to treat myself in the Mother’s Day sale. It arrived very quickly in the UK and I wore it the same night!! It is true to size and the fabric is luxurious, light and stunning. I feel lovely and cool in it. It’s perfect - you equally wear it with flipflops in the daytime or you can dress it up with gold jewellery for dinner. I adore mine!!! Thank you Daughters of India. Very special dress - I have a feeling I may need more! 🥰
Pros: It is a beautiful, light, airy, cotton dress. The color is perfect for me. As described the bottom is a tad sheer but not see through. It arrived about five days earlier than expected. They serve a good cause. I received a first time buyer discount which made it a good buy for me. Cons: It does have a chemical smell. I would usually get it out by leaving a garment in the sun but it says do not leave in sun so I am not sure how I might try to remove it, yet I've used it a handful of times and the front string is coming apart. I considered buying a second (or more) and the price significantly went up (aside from the discount code). I checked from a different browser and it had a lower price. This leads me to believe peoples data are stored and price changes based on likelihood of purchase. Taking that into consideration, I would recommend one purchase. I'm in the fence about a second.

This dress is even more lovely in person—flowy, feminine and beautifully made. I can’t wait for the weather to warm up so I can twirl around in the sunshine. I have been eyeing this dress for a long time and so glad I finally pulled the trigger. It’s gorgeous. One note: It is *very* sheer (I got it in coral), so get those nude undies ready!
The Kyra dress is gorgeous to wear it’s as light as a feather. The material is the finest cotton only problem for me as an older lady I have to wear a slip as it’s so see through.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It makes our hearts full hearing that you loved your dress. 🥰
こちらは、スカート部分が広がる、可愛らしいラインの、ドレスです！コーラルと言う色も、凄く可愛いです。Sを購入しましたが、マキシ丈で着るには私には少し短かった様です。素材は、カイラや、シータも柔らかいですが、それら以上に柔らかいです！袖が長くても、軽くて柔らかいので、夏に涼しく着られる事、間違い無しです！夏にドレッシーな服が着られるのが、今から楽しみです。いつも素敵なドレスを、本当にどうもありがとうございます！
Thank you for supporting ethical fashion and for your lovely review! 💙
The dress is amazing One of the most beautiful dresses I’ve ever seen, and the feeling of it is so soft. The only thing is it’s very see-through and as a bigger lady it’s really conscious of the shape underneath so I haven’t worn it yet to my disappointment but the dress is so beautiful thank you
I was very nervous about ordering after reading comments on bust line, being a busty lady E cup. Delighted with my gorgeous dress it fits well, is soft and so pretty
Beautiful and perfect for summer!At 1. 60m it comes to just above the floor, for me a perfect length for a maxi dress.
It’s great to hear you’re happy with the fit and style. Thank you! 🪷
Love it - lots of fabric, flowing and feels nice on! Get loads of compliments 🩷Only thing it that it sits on top of the bust not under the bust (which isn't that flattering for bigger chested girls)I brought 1 size up hoping it would sit lower on the bust and be more flatteringWill wait for the blue to be restocked and will get that too 🥰
We appreciate your kind words. Enjoy your beautiful new piece!
Very feminine dress, but because it only comes In a maxi I had to then pay $70 at dressmakers to get shortened. This makes the dress quite expensive.
Apart from that lovely. It’s my 8th dress.
Thank you so much for your love and support Karen! I'm sorry to hear you had to have your dress altered to be better suited in length. While we don't make our Coral colourway in Midi length, we do offer it in Mini, and have a range of other colours and styles in Midi length. We're very grateful for your support - and hope you will love the new styles and prints we have been working on 💓.
This is my 3rd dress in less than 2 months. Beautiful coton , it is transparent and I wear a light white petticoat. I love the project of DOI
Thank you for brightening our day with your positive feedback! We're thrilled to have met your expectations.Sending Love 💗
I’ve been looking for a ‘nurturing mother type-boho- spiritual kinda dress’ for ages. This is it. I love the dress, it is beautifully packaged, presented and really well made. The dress is unfortunately quite see-through which I wasn’t expecting, so I’m going to have to buy a slip to go underneath. Aside from that stunning and fits true to size. The material and pattern is really beautiful.
Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful review! 🧡 We’re so happy to hear that you’ve finally found the nurturing, bohemian style you’ve been searching for, and that you’re loving the quality, pattern and fit of your dress.
Depending on each individual, some may find our garments sheer and we have noted this on our product pages. This was to leave the flexibility of the garment up to our customers so they can choose to wear something under them or not. Many customers love the free flowing feeling whilst some may choose to wear a slip if desired. We are certainly taking onboard this feedback and looking into another avenue as far as a slip or lining is concerned to be able to offer another option to our customers.
We’re delighted that, aside from this, you’re loving your dress and that it feels true to size. Thank you for your support and for choosing Daughters of India. 🌼
Lovely and light, looks cute belted as well. Very see through but lots of fabric so I find it ok. Also cute worn over jeans.
I love how breezy and flowy I feel in this dress! So thin but not see through at all!
Thank you Courtney! We're very happy to hear you love your Kyra Maxi Dress!
Incredible fabric. . runs large but it’s perfect for the style
This dress is gorgeous and very well made! It is quite see through, I had to buy a petticoat to wear underneath but it is light, flow-y and beautiful and it fits like a dream! It will be hard for me to resist not buying another in the future.
Very happy 😊 the print and fabric is just beautiful! I am a size 16, found it slightly firm around the bust, otherwise a really good fit. 💖
Hi Kim, Thank you so much for sharing and your love of our Coral Maxi Dress. Lots of love x x
I love this dress. It is light, loose, easy to style, comfortable and understated. It is a bit shear so I do wear a liner dress under it.
Hello Lovely, Thank you so much for reaching out about this! 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💛🙏✨
It’s too big! I ordered small and I definitely need Xs
Thank you for your feedback 💛 We're sorry to hear the fit wasn't quite right for you.
If you feel the size Small is too large, you are very welcome to reach out to our Customer Care team at hello@daughtersofindia.net, and they will be happy to assist you with your exchange options.
We also recommend referring to the size guide and garment measurements on the product page when selecting a size, as fit can vary slightly between styles and colour-ways due to the handcrafted nature of our garments. ✨
This is my 5th dress from Daughters of India and, again, it’s absolutely divine. The fabric is light and crisp and moves beautifully. The fit, tho loose, still provides a bit of shape and colours are soft and pretty.
Hi Nina,Wow! your 5th dress! That absolutely makes our day - thank you so much for all the love and support! 💗🙏We're thrilled you're loving the fabric and fit - light, and floaty, and still a little bit shaped is exactly what we were going for. And we're so glad the colours are a hit too!You're honestly the best - thanks again for being such a fabulous customer.Much Love, Daughters of India ✨🧡
Amazing fabric, lovely design, feels like a princess gown! Absolutely elegant! (Size XL / Hight 1,63)
Your words reached us deeply. With every stitch, we hope you feel our gratitude.
I love the dress! It's so wonderfully light and soft. Perfect for hot days—you're well-dressed, yet it's so airy. It feels like a touch of nothing.
We're delighted to hear that you're loving your beautiful dress! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words!💫🧡
I love my midi Kyra Dresses. I found with the maxi that opening is way too long so way too much breast is shown for my comfort. The way it sits is just different from my 3 other Kyras and even though the material is beautiful I won’t be able to wear this one till I sew up the front. I wish I had tried on earlier because I would have returned this one.
I have a few Kyra dresses and all of them fit beautifully. They feel breezy even on the hottest of days. The coral pattern is beautiful. The trim gives it this standout look.
We are over the moon to hear how happy you are with your special pieces ~ thank you for sharing your love & support, it truly means the world to us. 💫🧡
