Hand block printed

The making of Saffron

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.

Slightly generous. Size down if between sizes.

Beautiful!

This dress makes me feel ethereal and ultra feminine. I am 5'3 with a 41 inch bust. The large fits perfectly around me, and the lowered bust line of the Kyra 2. 0 hit just at the bottom of my bust. Given that I am petite, the bottom of the dress comes to my ankles. The fabric is fairly sheer; I wear a nude half slip underneath. The dress is very well made, the printing is beautiful. I was nervous about shipping to the US from Australia, but it arrived much quicker than I expected and in perfect condition. I will definitely order again (I have my eye on a mini).

Lovely

I bought this dress in saffron just before Christmas thinking it would be lovely for the holiday. I wore it on New Year’s Day in the end. If I’m honest I could have probably gone down a size there is so much fabric and the sleeves are so generous but I like the flow and drape of the fabric . I have huge boobs and it still fits comfortably the saffron colour is fresh and vibrant without being garish pockets would improve any dress but that’s the only down side

Another winner!

This is my third DOI dress, but the first one in the 2. 0 version. I really like how it streamlines the front a little so at 5’ tall I don’t look like a ball:) I also appreciate that this one came in size XS, I don’t think the others did, and it does make a difference if you are petite. The color saffron is vibrant and just as the photo. I am especially impressed that now the shipping to the US was VERY fast. . I had waited up to a month in the past, this was more like a week! Thanks DOA, good job! And of course, wearing these dress makes you feel like a goddess!

Awesome

Beautiful dress. Well made. Great fit. Feels lovely to wear. Delivery was much quicker than I expected with no problems. I am 165cm and a size 12. The length of the Kyra MIDI is perfect. Just above the ankle. I ordered a large and am happy with the fit. The colour was pretty much the same as the pic. Love it.

Pretty dress, but not for everyone

This is a pretty dress and I was really looking forward to receiving the order. I ordered saffron because my other preferred colours weren’t available at the time, but is a lovely, striking and bold colour that should receive lots of compliments. I was disappointed to return the dress, and I thank the Daughers of India team for helping me do so. This is what I found: I’m a size 16, tall, and not big-busted. The dress made me look twice my actual size. The fabric was quite stiff (perhaps it would soften after washing?), and the full skirts and sleeves therefore billowed around me like a tent. No draping. Though the photos online picture the waistline sitting below the bust, for me it sat above (remember, I’m not big chested), and this made my chest and tummy look huge. The very full sleeves sat above the elbow, which aligned with the gathers of the skirts at the ‘waist’ line. The combination of both created a very widening profile. Like other reviewers, I found the fabric sufficiently translucent that, if I had kept the dress, would have had to wear a slip underneath.
