True to size.
Almost feel like you have nothing on its so light and airy. Enjoy mine throughly.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 💛 We love that you’re experiencing its beautiful lightweight and airy feel — the perfect combination of comfort and effortless style. We hope you continue to enjoy wearing it! 🌼
Robe superbe. tout en légèreté . Je l’adore
Thank you so much 💛 We’re so happy to hear you love your Kyra Mini Dress in Cumin—it’s wonderful that you’re enjoying how light and airy it feels!🌻
I got the kyra in this colour because it's a nice neutral that it super versatile. The only downside (with this style), is that the fabric is really fine, meaning I really have to wear a slip under it or it really is see through. Being that I live in the tropics, wearing a full second slip layer can be make or break as to wearing the Kyra dress in the hotter months. Would be amazing if you could add a second thin cotton layer to the skirt lining of the kyra dress, the same way you do for the Nora dresses.
Hi Jess,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and kind words.We understand your concern about the sheerness of our garments. Depending on each individual, some may find our dresses sheer. This is noted in the product description. We wanted to leave the flexibility of the garment up to the customer ~ many love the free flowing feeling whilst some may choose to wear a slip if desired. 💗🙏 We find it is truly personal preference. If you're looking for a dress that is less sheer, I recommend opting for our darker-coloured Kyra dresses, as they appear less sheer. Additionally, we have some styles that are double-lined, including our Sita Maxi, Rooh Mini & Maxi, Nora Mini & Maxi, Bhoomi Mini and Maxi, Lalika Dress, and our Jasmine Midi & Maxi.We hope this helps lovely, and thank you again for reaching out!Much Love, Daughters of India 💫💛
Lovely dress, thin cotton material suitable for my hot and humid country.
Your review warms our hearts. Thank you for celebrating slow fashion! 💫💛
I love the mini! It’s the perfect length for me and I’m currently pregnant so it’s super comfortable and practical
Thank you so much for your kind review. We hope you feel amazing in your new Kyra dress!💫💛
I love everything about my dresses-mini's-but they are SO short. Bought size xs (I am a size 4 and 5'6) and maybe should have purchased a size S just to get more length. I was due to travel abroad and knew it would be very warm. Dresses were perfection EXCEPT FOR THE LENGTH. . I could not wear as I would be exposing a whole lot. I even brought "bike shorts" but just not adding to the dress for the cities I was visiting. I did try to get the second dress coming to me to halt for a size S but bc it was a sale item they were not to be exchanged. Saving for more appropriate venue and will definitely purchase the Midi length next time. Fabric, print, cut-all gorgeous. Great for travel as they are light and easy to pack and wash by hand.

Love my dress. I made a mistake when ordering which the team kindly sorted for me. It arrived quickly and was great to wear on holiday. I would say it’s true to size. Great customer service and I am so pleased I bought it.
Every garment is made with intention and respect — your words truly bring a smile to our hearts. Thank you 😍
Loove the fit and style of this dress but for the price you pay, it definitely should be lined or made with a thicker fabric as it’s basically sheer in the skirt area.

Im absolutely in love with this dress and cant wait to order another DOI dress. Its light weight but not see through. Perfection.
Absolutely love this dress. Such a lovely floaty material - for it’s first outing I wore it to a festival with black DM type boots - the wasps also really liked me that day, so much so that one must have flown up the skirt. . I kept feeling something on me, little did I know it was inside the dress wandering around for a good 10 minutes… finally spotted inside the sleeve. Was ready to strip naked but luckily waspy flew out quite calmly and no harm done. Nothing to do with the dress but just a funny story. Careful of the wasps!!
Thank you for your beautiful review! We're delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the floaty fabric at the festival! What an unexpected adventure with the wasp - we're so glad it ended peacefully and appreciate you sharing a memorable moment with us. 💛✨
Beautiful pattern. Good craftsmanship. Beautifully made by hands of beautiful women. Thank you.
Loving the fit. Exactly what I was after for a euro summer holiday. Light and colour is beautiful.
Your message lit up our team’s hearts — we’re still smiling. 😊
When I tried it on straight from the packaging I found the material very starchy. So I washed it knowing returning for a refund was just not doable. After it dried I tried it on again and found it had softened and laid closer. I will wear it, but it’s not what I thought it would be when I watched the videos of the dress.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. Each one of the dresses slightly varies in softness, due to the individual dye colour. We recommend gentle cold hand washing and line drying, personally, I like to add a small amount of fabric softener to ensure they're extra soft and gorgeous. Once I have completed this my dresses have softened. 💗🙏
Always happy with the service and the quality!
Thank you for sharing your kind words! Your support truly means the world to us. 💛
I love the dress in general, lovely easy material. Very flowy, feminine, looks wonderful. However, I find the sleeve cup way too tight. As the textile was neither cut on bias, nor has elastic in it, there is zero stretch on the arm cuff. If I stand fully relaxed, it is all good, but as soon as I want to lift my arm, it sticks on my elbow, cuts into my arm, making it uncomfortable or makes me afraid that I rip the textile. As a reference I am a S size person with normal arms (not super strong or chubby). This one drawback makes it harder to wear when I am about to do things, playing with kids. Making it 1-2 cm wider would make it perfect. Altogether still a wonderful dress

I love the delicate translucent cotton. The cotton is carefully printed with gorgeous colors . With so much gathered fabric it isn’t see through. I feel so elegant in these dresses. I definitely will recommend them. I love that this company is made up of women. However, with duties and tax most of my friends cannot afford these stunning dresses. I loved them so much I had to save up and get one! I would love to buy more in the future. Thanks for all you do.

The photos here are extremely misleading. The color is more of a mustard rather than a bright vibrant yellow. Disappointed!

I've been wanting a Daughter's of India dress for a while now and am so glad that I finally purchased one! The quality and pattern are absolutely gorgeous. I love that it is so feminine and comfortable. Easy to slip on for any occasion. I received so many compliments! I am 5' 2" have a more petite frame so there is a lot of fabric, but the XS dress sits perfectly on my body. I love it and plan to purchase more in the future.

This is my favourite dress so far as the colour is very flattering, especially for blondes. It's one I can throw on with gold Birkenstocks and go out the door happily. Thanku DOI 🥰

I love this beautiful dress, very easy to wear and cool in the hot weather. I would love a few more dresses from here, just gotta save up
Your kind words mean so much to us. Thank you for supporting our small business!
Lovely lovely print. I am pleased that the tone is more golden than yellow! This one is good for around the house as it's understated. Very light, yet not to see thru, due to the print and colour. Thank You DOI!🥰
Thank you for supporting slow fashion! We're thrilled you're loving your dress.
The dress is so light, yet not see through, fit it perfect. I’ve waited literal years to finally be the right DoI dress for me and this is it!

Absolutely in love with my dress and cannot wait to wear it!
It’s fantastic to hear you love the look and feel. Thanks for the review! 🥳
Great service. Got it in reasonable time. Happy with the fabric even if it’s a little see through. I think I should have got the bigger size though. Usually a 10 but would have liked it more ‘flowy’
Thank you for choosing our designs! We hope you enjoy wearing your dress. 💚
The dress was very lovely. I had some issues when purchasing online, although the responses from the team were excellent!! Thank you so much DOI :))
It's wonderful to hear that you're happy with your purchase! Thank you for choosing us. 🤩
I want to love this dress so much, but unfortunately the fabric is incredibly thin and tore on my first wear. It is see through if there’s light behind you. Quality is disappointing given the price. The colours are more muted than in the photos. Absolutely love the company’s ethos and hope to see fabric quality/seam quality improve ❤️

What a gorgeous, comfortable dress. I love the colour and print, exactly as described, the material is super soft. Love it!
Beautiful patterned fabric but I had to send it back as it is so short!
My fifth purchase from the Daughters,,, this one is for my daughter…. Your service is impeccable, the dresses are divine, you feel like a princess in them. Love your work , love your products and service x beautiful Thankyou Faye
I grabbed this one in a DOI sale. It is a lovely earthy colour and super cute shape. Took one star off as there is a brown splotchy stain on the material - I don’t mind it that much though as I suspect it is from some part in the hand made process of print block dyeing and I kinda like the reminder of how this dress was made.
I love them! Beautiful material, pattern, cut, everything.
🤩💚
This is my DOI dress no. 5. It's not the best colour but it's still nice. Light, breezy and very comfortable just like my other DOI dresses. :)
I am enjoying my dresses very much thank you. And they are comfortable and look nice. They are cool and light.
Dress number 10, and as we say, wasn't going to get another one, but . . . . saw the lovely Kyra dress in Cumin and couldn't help myself. The color is lovely and fresh, flows beautifully and fits perfectly. These dresses are so easy to wear, comfortable and perfect for travelling. Thank you DOI for your great customer service as always.
Knowing you're happy with your dress makes our day. Thank you!
Is the best dress everI had it in mini roseAnd now aquamarine maxiI love it!!Sorry I didn’t like the kyra
