Kyra Mini Dress Tangerine · A$179
Hand block printed
The making of Tangerine
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.
I bought this dress in tangerine and jade both size xs. I’m obsessed with both! I found tangerine to be softer while jade was a little more rough but not in a bad way at all. Both are kind of see through but it’s more noticeable on the tangerine. I expected this and don’t mind tbh I’ll just wear neutral underwear and shorts. It’s super breezy and nice though. I can’t wait for the blue to come back in stock for my size. Fit was basically the same on both dresses except the tangerine was more fitted in the waist/the seam under the bust. For reference I am 5’1, 27in waist, 32B bra and xs fit exactly as i thought it would. The sleeves are so wonderful, i like how they sit on me, I was worried I wouldn’t like that but it really looks nice. I like that the back is longer than the front. Obsessed with these dresses, twirling in them makes me feel like a fairy.

I just love it
I have a few DoI dresses now, and I love that I can have a simple, ethical dress in a range of colours. The tangerine is a soft orange. I wasn't too sure how orange it would be, and admittedly, a little hesitant to purchase. However, the colour has exceeded expectations and it's now a firm favourite. As advised in other reviews, neutral underwear is recommended unless you don't mind a hint of inner punk showing through. The bodice is somewhat lined but the skirt is not. I'm an Aussie 12-14 (leaning into the 14) and found the xl to be a great fit.
Daughters of India
Hi Helen,Thank you so much for sharing your love for our dresses.We're so happy to hear that the tangerine colour exceeded your expectations and has become a new favourite. It's always a little exciting (and sometimes nerve-wracking) to try out a new shade, but we're so glad it worked out beautifully for you.Your kind words and support mean the world to us, and we're so grateful to be part of your ethical fashion collection.With gratitude,Daughters Of India

The material and print are absolutely stunning. However the sizing was absolutely nowhere near appropriate for the length in the bust area from shoulder. I got it as it showed up under maternity dresses and the nipple area sat just below my collarbone. I had to give this expensive dress to my 11 year old and it only just sits right on her. I ordered a large and I’m usually a size 12. This sadly just is absolutely not made for regular framed women. Perhaps petite framed/short women with smaller busts. I was very sad. Still, material and print were just gorgeous.
Tanya · Verified buyer · 7 December 2023
This dress is a gorgeous colour. I’m 5’11” and purchased the large and it fits perfectly. I was worried the length would be too short but it’s not. It is so light and flowy beautiful for warmer weather. It’s slightly see through depending on the light, but nothing some pretty lingerie, nude colour lingerie or bike shorts won’t fix if you think it would bother you. I love it so much I have also ordered in the ocean blue colour

lightweight summer dress
This dress is exactly as pictured. Lovely and lightweight, this is a great summer dress. I'm 5'2 and the length on the medium is perfect however with a 36D chest, the bust seam doesn't fit my bust and only fits smaller bust sizes. Also giving this 4 stars because the waist isn't elasticised and the fabric is very sheer.
Ana · Verified buyer · 30 October 2024
I simply love love love ❤️ this dress! I ordered this for my vacation, I knew it will be as I expected, because it’s my second DOI dress and definitely not the last one. They are true to size, and I took an xs but next time I’ll try an S, because I have a D cup. The material is really lightweight and soft, a bit see-through, but I don’t have a problem with that at all.

My lovely Kyra Mini
Hello DOI! I'm simply loving 🥰 my new dress. It's my second DOI dress. I ordered it for my vacation in Egipt. It's so lightweight and some might say it's a little seetrough. For me it's perfect, it's like a veil. ♥ I bought size xs, although my bust size is 70 dd. I recommend size S if you have more than a C cup. It's definitely not my last DOI dress!

This dress is lightweight and very beautiful. However is quite short and narrow. I usually use size L but I took XL and it´s still quite narrow from breast area.

Strange fit
Quite honestly, I don’t know where to beginThe fabric is so beautiful, and the dresses are so lovely, but the models are all small or extra small and VERY tall women. I’m normally a size medium which is a size 10 and I’m 5ft 0 or 152 cmThe dresses are extremely long on me, even the mini…. the size is completely baggy and oversize around my arms and waist, but around my chest, It’s entirely too tight and I’m small breasted. I’m not sure who the dresses were fit for, but from the looks of it, women who are small breasted, very lean and very tall, because any woman with a curve, it does not fit properlyMy dresses are very beautiful, but I wish I could wear them…

Fantastic customer service!
Beautiful light dress perfect for our upcoming move to the tropics. Individual dress measurements are on the site. I am normally 10/12 and chose a medium. Just fits perfectly, with not much room to grow in the bust. Would recommend sizing up if between sizes. The team at DOI are amazing at arranging exchanges, dress arrived very quickly. 😊 x
Tamika L. · Verified buyer · 19 December 2022
The most beautiful dress
You feel instantly beautiful and relaxed in this dress! It’s light, airy & such a gorgeous colour. Like “putting on” a holiday by the beach. My only criticism is that as a size 10-12, a M was too small and difficult to breastfeed from. If I’m still nursing, next time I would get a L which I feel would still fit nicely.
Tanya P. · Verified buyer · 20 October 2022
Beautiful dress
The colour of this dress is gorgeous. I’m 5’ 11” tall and purchased a large. I was worried it might be too short, but was pleasantly surprised it wasn’t. The fabric is a little sheer, but you could wear some cute lingerie or bike shorts underneath if it really bothers you. I loved this dress so much, I also purchased another one in the ocean blue
Jo-Ann Y. · Verified buyer · 7 February 2022
Comfortable, great dress
I'm a UK size 12 and I like my clothes a little loose - the L size was perfect. Overall the dress is beautiful and very comfortable - a bit see-through but not so much that you have to wear a slip or anything.
Honeylet R. · Verified buyer · 4 October 2024
Lovely
Breezy and lovely. I’m usually a Medium. I got it in Large because there was no M and it was on sale. Feels airy but doesn’t look big. The length is decent enough for work. I want to wear it everyday.

We appreciate your glowing review. Cheers to more happy moments! ✨🧡

I bought a L and it was way too tight across my chest I’m usually a 14/16.
Lorelei · Verified buyer · 7 December 2023
Super cute! Material is soft. I love the big puffy sleeves and full bottom. Chest area is a bit snug. I ordered a size up on a recent order. Other than that dress is perfect!

I wanted to love it. . . .
I have tried to write this review many times, but it seems that the website doesn't allow ratings under 5. . . well I try again. I really wanted to love this dress and this company. I bought four for my sisters, mother and myself for Christmas. The designs are beautiful and the fabric is so soft. However, for the price, the thickness of the cotton is a big disappointment and very frail. This is not a dress designed to last, even with the most delicate care. If you have children, pets or wish to wear this dress outside - don't. Even the slightest twig will puncture a hole in the fabric, a pets nail will pierce through and cause threads to run, if your child pulls on the dress, the seams come undone at the bust (I'm an A-cup and this still happened!). It's really disappointing because the ethos of the company is wonderful, however the quality does not match with the price or other ethical slow fashion brands. If only the cotton was thicker. . .
Veronica L. · Verified buyer · 19 January 2023
My first of many, I’m sure!
I ordered this in time for my daughter’s first birthday party and loved it from the time I put it on! It’s flowy, airy, and so comfortable! Not many clothes make you “feel good”, but this dress sure did for me! I’m 155cm and the Kyra mini dress is perfect in length for me. I took a size S as I wasn’t sure but I’m happy with this size. Also love the story behind these dresses and how they are supporting artisans in India. I can’t wait to get my next dress!
Kiah M. · Verified buyer · 25 December 2022
Tangerine!
The tangerine colour is stunning! I'm so glad I chose it for myself, I love it on. There is a lot of fabric on the dress. I do feel myself in it which is lovely. Excited to wear it more. I was unsure about the breast feeding capacity of it so I sized up. It's a tad big but still seems perfect esp for breastfeeding now. The tangerine colour is my favourite, seems underrated!
Lina S. · Verified buyer · 23 December 2022
Simply beautiful!

Aisling R. · Verified buyer · 9 August 2022
Sizes are confusing
I am in love with the quality of the fabric and the Kyla Mini Dress in general, that I wanted to add this colour to my collection as well. Unfortunately the sizes in the chart are varying depending on the colours. So according to the Tangeringe-sizing-chart I should have been a S although I am a M in Jade. That’s why I unfortunately had to send the dress back, since S was too small on the shoulders. It would be great, if the sizing charts could be reviewed, since I’d love to shop again soon with you! ❤️

Isabelle R. · Verified buyer · 14 December 2021
Just divine
Living in Darwin, it is hot all the time! I wanted something that made me feel slightly more dressed up even on those hot and muggy days, as opposed to always wearing strappy dresses. As the sleeve comes in at the waist, there is plenty of airy space around the parts of us that get the hottest; armpits, back and chest. The fabric is light, no lining, and it hangs beautifully. Would absolutely recommend!

I got the Tangerine Kyra mini on sale and so glad I did. Had been thinking about it for ages. These dresses are floaty yet feminine and elegant. Always go xL a size 16 and always get so many compliments
Natalie K. · Verified buyer · 13 October 2024
I love it alot but the v neck is slightly too low for me but it still works really well if i keep adjusting it through the day:)
Very nice airy fabric but it is a little see through and you will have to wear some sort of safety shorts underneath the dress

The color and style of this dress is perfect! Love it! It’s shear but with the right under things and the airy flow of the dress is just so fun for summer.
Rita P. · Verified buyer · 12 September 2024
Too sheer material and too short
It might be because of my height, but this mini dress is unwearable for me without shorts underneath, which is a bummer. Furthermore, the material is super sheer and see-through, so in fact, I would not even try to wear the dress without shorts or else I would risk ppl literally being able to see my underwear. I like the color, the patter and the fit of it, however the sewing is a bit poor quality.

I love this dress!
I got 4 compliments the first day I wore the Kyra dress. It's so light and floaty. . . but it fits nicely on top, so it doesn't look like you're wearing a baggy nightgown. The fabric is so soft and the way it gathers is very well done. It's super comfortable. It's definitely a winner. Also, I ordered the wrong size and the exchange was so simple and quick. I'm happy that I'm not buying fast fashion and supporting women who are making something great.

Elegant dress for summer days
This dress is an absolute dream for warmer weather! From the moment I slipped it on, I knew I had found the perfect piece for summer days. I ordered the Kyra Mini Dress - Tangerine in the size XL and hoped it would fit. I have a large/big bust and often have trouble finding a suitable dress or top. I debated between size L and XL. Then I decided on the larger version to be on the safe side. I will definitely order more of these beautiful dresses over time. I love the hand-dyed patterns and hand-crafted workmanship. A very beautiful summer dress.

See Through
Love the colour and the fit is amazing! Definitely not low cut on me! The website does not make it clear enough just how sheer these dresses are though! Somewhat frustrated at having to buy a slip to avoid indecent exposure given the price point! I’d hoped to just throw on and go and not have to layer it! Maybe the darker colours aren’t so bad but it really should be lined! Otherwise it’s gorgeous!
