Nadi Dress Amber · A$179
Hand dyed
The making of Amber
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 was a bit unsure about this dress after reading some reviews about sizing issues in other colours but I was so impressed when it arrived! Amber colour is a beautiful warm tone and fabric is soft and light. I am size 8-10 and S fits very well with some room in the bust so the dress drapes nicely. No issues with buttons pulling or tightness around the bust. Length is more like a maxi on me as I’m 162cm but I don’t mind! Can’t wait to wear this as the weather warms up! Love!

It's so lovely to hear you love your Nadi Dress, Caitlin! x

Totally love except I find it gaping between the buttons when having the buttons at the front -I have had to pop small safety pins between the buttons-the dress isn’t to small-I think if you were small chested it maybe ok -I’m not large chested but its enough to cause the gaps
Otherwise it’s sensational 😫
Daughters of India
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad you love your Nadi Dress, though we’re sorry to hear about the gaping between the buttons when worn at the front.
We appreciate you sharing this helpful insight, as feedback like yours helps us continue to improve our designs. Thank you for your support of Daughters of India!💛

It seems like the bottom hem of the dress tapers in which makes your hips look bigger. Wish it didn't taper inward. Give it more fullness at the bottom hem too.
Daughters of India
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback! 🧡
We appreciate your comments about the shape and fullness of the hem, and we’ll certainly keep this in mind when developing future designs. We’re glad you took the time to share your experience with us. 🌻

Fabulous
Beautiful colour, love the option to wear buttoned front or back and hand embroidery around neck and armholes is a wonderful detailing.
Sharon · Verified buyer · 22 October 2025
This dress has a beautiful, relaxed and natural aesthetic. Here’s a short review:The sleeveless button-front midi dress in a warm ochre tone exudes effortless, bohemian charm. Made from what appears to be a lightweight, breathable fabric (likely cotton or linen), it’s perfect for warm weather or resort wear. The gathered waist adds a soft, feminine shape without being restrictive, and the functional pockets are a practical bonus. The simple cut, earthy color, and flowy silhouette make it versatile — easy to dress up with accessories or wear casually with sandals.

Beautiful dress.
Almost everything about this dress is excellent. The only complaint is that the bust/chest area was slightly snug.

So lovely!
This dress is beautifully made, and the color is gorgeous. I’m currently wearing it with buttons in front and using for nursing, the fabric is beautiful and lightweight but does not need a slip- perfect! Looking forward to purchasing another color, and will enjoy for a long time.

Perfect fit
Beautiful dress, I'm so proud to wear it knowing it was made from the heart
Angela · Verified buyer · 10 May 2022
I am in love with this dress!
This is the most comfortable dress ever! It’s stunningly basic and can be dressed up or down. The fabric is very soft and I love that I can wear it both ways. This will be my go to breastfeeding dress for sure!For reference I got a large and I have a 108cm bust, 91cm waist, 108cm hips and I am 5’3 - dress sits at ankles. The buttons are slightly taught when I have the buttons at the front. But From experience with this fabric it will slightly stretch, so I’m not concerned.

Flowy, breezy and oh so comfy
In love with the Nadi dress - clay colour. Super comfortable and the fabric is so soft, after having a baby I was a bit worried about what clothes I could wear and fit into, and this dress made made me feel confident and stylish. I love how I foresee wearing this dress for many many years.

Promptly delivered. Beautifully, sustainably packaged. And the dress is divine. Thank you.
Megan M. · Verified buyer · 12 January 2022
Much bigger than anticipated
The quality of the dress is great but the sizing is really oversized on this one. I got the smallest size available which I would normally be and expected it to be a comfy loose fit but I get totally lost in it to the point that it doesn't look good anymore. Be great if there was smaller sizes and more of a warning about how big it is.
Tracey I. · Verified buyer · 20 December 2021
New favourite dress
I was a little unsure about how the colour would look - but it is the most perfect burnt rust shade and it is so comfy and versatile. I absolutely love that you can wear it either way (with buttons to the front or to the back) and the fact that it has pockets. I want it in every colour.
Nadia S. · Verified buyer · 17 December 2021
Nadi dress
Love this dress, I have it in two colours. It’s super comfortable and so versatile. Shrank a tiny bit when I put mine in the wash on a gentle cycle (needs to be hand washed) Would still highly recommend
Eliza O. · Verified buyer · 8 December 2021
Beautiful and versatile
I LOVE this dress. Bra-friendly, flattering, flowy, and such soft fabric. I love the pockets and how you can wear it buttons to the front or the back, great for breastfeeding! Such a nice length too. I'm a 14/16E and I got a 16 which was the right fit for me, I def couldn't have gone a 14 because of my bust. I want one in every colour!!

I want my whole wardrobe made up of these!
I’ve been searching for sustainable slow fashion brands and I’m so stoked I finally took the plunge with a Daughters of India dress. The fabric is magic, it has pockets, & I’ll be wearing it through my entire pregnancy. I also consider their garments to be pretty reasonable with price considering the cost some other brands have! I’m so in love & I’ll be back for more dresses ASAP

The XL was still too small!
It arrived promptly but I will now donate to charity as it’s not a good fit.

I love this dress!! The linen is just gorgeous and the colour is beautiful. The delivery also didn’t take to long.
Virginia J. · Verified buyer · 30 September 2021
Lovely dress, bought other colours
Gorgeous colour, very comfortable. Not reversible unless you're flat chested, but that's fine. Just big enought in the bust for me, and arm holes great size. The fabric's very soft and lightweight (but not seethrough). Not sure how well it will wash (says wash only when NEED to - is it not colour fast? too delicate?). Will be wearing a lot.
Jensaas · Verified buyer · 20 September 2021

Exceeded my expectations
I was really nervous this was going to be too big or the fit would be weird. It was perfect. I’m super flat chested and a small build but somehow it draped wonderful!! I will be back for more

I love this dress so much, I purchased in my 3rd trimester, was unsure whether to get a small or medium, but went with the medium and it is perfect. I will be living in it over summer and breastfeeding days. The fabric is so soft and beautiful! Would love it in a shorter style too! 🧡

This dress is SO beautiful, light and airy. The craftsmanship and detail is perfection. And to know it is fair trade, supporting small communities and handmade—it’s slow fashion worth the price tag. I look forward to purchasing another Daughters of India dress in the future. Thank you!

Nadi Clay
I have several of the Nadi dresses. I loved the Clay colour but only a smaller size than the others was available and I hoped it too might be suitable however it was too small. I am hoping a similar dress in the Clay will become available soon.

Nadi dress in clay and teracota
Great dress and reasonable price. However the teracota color in reality is much more pink than I expected. I also bought the clay color one which one website appears to have more yellow tone to it than in real life. But I still like it. I dont like the teracota color much in real life as mentioned above.
Lyn H. · Verified buyer · 22 February 2021
Beautiful and comfortable
I purchased the Nadi dress in white some time ago and loved wearing it due to how comfortable and adaptable it is. White is a little bit see through which is fine but decided to purchase another that can be worn alone on a hot day. Clay is stunning, lots of compliments. These dresses are easy to wear in a variety of ways and dress up or down situations. I love that their manufacture supports women Lyn
