The making of Terracotta

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.

Nadi Dress Terracotta Small

Love my terracotta Nadi in Small. I am usually size 8 and size small fits well and it does not pull and gape across the bust. I have the beautiful Sita in XS so I was cautious choosing the correct size in Nadi. I am wearing Nadi with the buttons at the front, and the beautifully designed dress has the labels along the inside side seam of the bodice, so they don't show with the buttons undone. The long length is perfect for my 165 cm height. Fabric is so cool for tropical FNQ 30 plus temperature. I also love a dress with side pockets. I am taking it to India next week for an 8-week summer adventure, it hand-washes and drip dries quickly, no ironing required. Just love the terracotta colour and will be wearing it constantly. Can't wait to buy more colours! Thank you again Daughters of India.

Beautifully soft, comfy and light. Currently 7 months pregnant so I sized up and it fits well with plenty of room around the belly and bust. Love that it has pockets too. Will be great to wear with the buttons at the front when breastfeeding. I’m 160cm and it’s maxi length on me so wondering whether to get it taken up a little.

Thank you for your lovely review! 🧡 We’re so happy your Nadi Dress is keeping you comfortable during pregnancy, and the pockets and button-down design will be perfect for breastfeeding, too! Wishing you all the best for the exciting months ahead! ✨

Sizing is a bit off for me. Beautiful colour.

This is my second Nadi dress and I bought a L this time due to the bottoms gaping too much and even popping open when wearing buttons on front in my M. The M fits me just right in all other aspects but I am bf and thus need to have buttons on front. Unfortunately, although the buttons on the L now don’t pop open, the dress sits quite obviously too big for me everywhere else and not just in a nice flowy way but as if it’s too big. I am a generally a size 12 with DD bust and I feel the M with a little extra room in the chest would be perfect. I love the colour of the terra-cotta and may even get it tailored in slightly as they really are a great dress.

Colour not what I expected but very comfy!

The fabric is lovely and light and it's really comfy and easy to wear. The colour was more muted than I was expecting which doesn't suit me as much but it's so comfortable to wear I decided to keep it. I prefer wearing it buttons at the back. I'm usually a S/M but I ordered the L based on the bust measurements because I didn't want it to be tight around the back and chest and I'm glad I did because any size smaller would not have been roomy enough!

lovely fabric

beautiful dress. . . . however the bust size for XL was very small- sent it back unfortunately. Have a couple of DOI dresses and love them. Will purchase more I am sure.
