Kyra Maxi Dress in Deep Sea is our first-ever tie-dye interpretation in our signature Kyra design. Each dress is hand-tie-dyed by skilled artisans in ocean-inspired hues, using the Badal technique, meaning "cloud" in Hindi, ensuring that no two dresses are the same.
Size & fit
Slightly generous. Size down if between sizes.
Jeff is 165cm and wears XS.

100% Cotton.
100% Cotton Voile
Soft and airy, very light weight with a gentle, flowing feel. Semi-sheer with a fine, soft hand feel.
Hand wash cold, only when needed, and line dry. Each piece may vary slightly in colour, a natural part of making by hand.

Badal tie-dye technique
The making of Deep Sea
The Badal tie-dye technique begins with dampened cotton that is folded and bound by hand to create soft, cloud-like resist patterns. The fabric is then immersed in an indigo dye bath, with timing carefully controlled by skilled artisans.
This dress is absolutely gorgeous but a little see through. Iβm not sure if I am permitted to mention other labels in my review but I wanted to take the opportunity to suggest to any other purchasers who find some of the DOI dresses a little see through, Blue Bungalow make a slip thatβs so light and affordable that I throughly recommend the addition. I say this as the owner of over a dozen dresses, some donβt need the extra lining but I feel much more comfortable in some of the more sheer dresses with the slip underneath. Just a thought, the slips come in maxi and midi lengthβs aswell.

Beautiful dress
Very happy with this beautifully crafted dress. Yes it's voluminous but it feels lovely to wear and it's flattering. Colour is true to the picture, as is the style. Very happy.

Wonderful, but unfortunately too transparent
Hello dear team,I'd like to share my review of the Kyra Maxi Dress Deep Sea. I think the dress is really beautiful. The only drawback, however, is that it's very see-through, so unfortunately, with my figure, I can't wear it outside. However, I have a suggestion for you:Since many women probably feel the same way I do, could you design a dress made of white double gauze with the same cut as Kyra, only without sleeves. The dress could be offered in both maxi and midi sizes and could thus serve either as a lining/underdress for Kyra, or as a standalone dress for those who prefer sleeveless dresses. I would be happy to volunteer to be a tester. What do you think of my suggestion?I would be very grateful for your feedback. Best,Sonja

Simply divine
I am in love with this dress- the colour- the fabric and the length. Just love a maxi dress. Hoping in the future you may do more colours within the tie dye realm. It feels heavenly to wear.
