Kyra Midi Dress Lilac Gauze · A$199
Hand dyed
The making of Lilac Gauze
Our fabrics are dyed by hand in small batches using dyes, allowing colour to develop slowly and evenly. Deeper shades may pass through multiple dye baths, while lighter tones are carefully controlled to maintain softness and consistency.
I love this dress… I am trying to change all of my wardrobe to linen or cotton and this is certainly a beautiful addition. As my first daughters of India dress I wasn’t entirely sure of whether I should get extra small or small and I did go with the extra small and it fits perfectly. I am 5 foot two and it’s hits just above the ankle. UK size 8 to 10… The colour and the fabric is beautiful. These are very well-made dresses.

I live in this dress!
This is a seriously beautiful dress - flattering, floaty, breathable, can be dressed up or down. It’s my first dress from Daughters of India and won’t be the last! I’m only 5’3, and got the Midi length, which for me is basically midaxi and very, very feminine. Thank you, and till we meet again!

Delicious colour
Just perfect I love the colour would suit any skin tone. Ordered XL am pretty much always a 16 in dresses,,,, obsessed wore it Christmas Day , would like the option of a seam below bust line on the Kara but happy regardless, also loved that it is a lined bodice,, it gives it structure and no see through to bra!!
Chelsey · Verified buyer · 11 December 2024
The Most Stunning
It's exactly how it's pictured. I am a true size medium with fairly well built shoulders and I sized down because I didn't want it too baggy. . . It's perfect! There is still so much room and it's not tight anywhere which makes it the perfect dress to wear out and about anywhere. It's definitely going to be a summer staple <3
Ariel · Verified buyer · 11 September 2024
Dressed in a dream!
I adore this dress and see myself wearing it for many seasons to come. This is fantastic for breastfeeding, though I would recommend sizing up if you are on the bustier size (I was DD now FF postpartum and found that the bust line sat a bit higher than I would have liked). That aside, it is a dress that I feel like a princess in which is such a special feeling to create! I would recommend this dress!

Stunning
Absolutely love this dress - the colour compliments my cool undertones. I’ve already worn it over togs to the beach on a number of occasions. The material is lovely and soft and I appreciate that it’s slightly heavier in weight which means it doesn’t tend to blow up in the wind. Unfortunately my dress didn’t have any pockets, hence the four stars.

We’re honoured by your kind words. Thank you for supporting our vision. 🤩

I’m just shy 150cm. It’s super hard to find a dress that ankle length. But, this is the perfect dress for me!! I can’t believe I found the one!

Another lovely dress from DOI !!!
My beautiful lilac Kyra dress arrived today,less than 24 hours after ordering it! The pictures of this dress do show it’s true colour. It did have a slight smell from the dye when I opened it but after rinsing it the smell disappeared and the material has become so very soft and comfortable to wear.

Feels like I'm not wearing anything!
I received this dress today. I immediately steamed it and wore it to an event. I am also coming off of a 4 day beach vacation. I look like a pink highlighter, I am quite crispy. It looks great, I love the dramatic sleeve and it's been so kind to my sunburnt skin. Cannot say anything bad about this dress. I sized up but I probably could've gone true to my size and been fine. However I enjoy a bit of room. Very happy with my purchase!

different feeling than tha blossom
I had the Kyra Fuchsia blossom and loved it so much because of the lightness, this piece in lilac gaze however is heavier fabric and therefor not as pleasant, still ok thaugh.
Daughters of India
Hi lovely,Yes, our Fuchsia Bloom is made from airy cotton voile, while the Kyra dress in Lilac Gauze is a slightly thicker being the cotton gauze, both are 100% cotton.We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope you have many magical moments in them 💜With love,

This is for sure not my last dress from daughters of india. I like to have more of them. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

One of my favorite dresses!
The color is stunning and vibrant, and like all my other Kyra dresses it's so confortable. I put one star down as sadly this one does not have pocket.
Daughters of India
Thank you for your feedback. 💗We're excited to share we are gradually introducing pockets into our exquisite Block Printed Kyra Dresses in both Mini and Midi lengths. However, as a slow fashion brand committed to preserving traditional craftsmanship, all our pieces are meticulously handmade in India using the ancient art of hand block printing. Please understand that restocking our pieces one at a time requires time and patience. Therefore, we are unable to provide a specific timeframe for when pockets will be incorporated into all colour ways. Thanks for your support and understanding.Much Love ✨💜

Best ever!
This is the 6th dress I have purchased and it is my absolute favourite. The colour is amazing and the fabric is a little heavier than my other dresses so not quite as sheer. I also appreciate that my purchases are helping to support an ethical and empowering business. Keep up the great work and I will continue to fill my wardrobe with these fantastic dresses.

A nice dress for summer
It was lovely dealing with these lovely people. So nice!I just feel that in general for the price point, the sewing on this dress is a bit average. I'm a sewer and I'm so fussy with gathering. The gathers on my dress are erratic. Some boxy and others small. But it's a lovely colour and nice and cheerful for summer. Thanks for good service.

Lilac Dream
I get so many compliments on this dress, which is wonderful, however, I feel like wearing it is a gift to myself. From the moment I put it on, it’s like my nervous system just relaxes into feminine gentleness. I went out on a limb with this color, as I usually prefer earthy tones, creams, or whites. But I love the color! I feel like a flower.

I love this and all of my Kyra midi dresses! This is a lovely color and the fabric seems nice. I haven’t washed it, yet, so I can’t report about that.
On another note: I wrote a less-than-glowing review about the Raya top but it looks like you didn’t post it. Do you only post the positive reviews? I won’t value the reviews if that’s the case.
