Nora Mini DressPrimrose

Fav DOI dress so far!

This is my 6th DOI dress and my favorite so far. I like how the fit is straighter compared to the fit of the Kyra dresses. I usually wear a slip with the Kyra minis and love the lightness of them but I appreciate the lining for this one as well as with the Juniper and Diya. The craftmanship is beautiful as always and it's great to know in a world of fast fashion that I'm buying from a sustainable brand. I wear XS with all my DOI items. The length measurement on the size chart is a tad longer than the Kyra minis but the length wasn't too long at all, ends about 2 inches or so above my knees (I'm 158cm). For further reference, my measurements are 34-26-36 and I am a AU8/US4. I'd say it's the perfect fit (not tight or loose). The sizing is been very consistent for me. Thanks again DOI!

Wore it for years

I bought this a while ago, wore it literally everywhere (at least twice a week) and it just finally tore. It's a little see-through in some lighting but very comfy, flattering, and breathable (uploading a photo so I can get more points to get a new one lol)

Fine and flowy

Absolutely beautiful, a lot finer/thinner cotton than I expected, but it sits really well. I got an XS as usually NZ/AU 6-8. Perfect length as I am 163cm it sits above my knee but not too high with having little kids! Could easily pull off a S though. Very delicate, and I’ll add my own slip as it’s just a little too thin for family events! Love it, glad I took the plunge to invest in this!!

Too short

I wanted to love this dress because the print is beautiful but it is way too short. For reference I am 5 feet 9 inches tall and this barely covered my bum. It also has too much volume to wear over pants, and I find it quite expensive for how thin the material is. The sleeves are also shorter than they look on the model. They sent me the wrong color so I had to return anyway. Customer service was excellent. I’m waiting for the Maxi version of this dress to re-stock so I can buy it.

Perfect Frock for any occasion

This is my fifth dress from DOI bought for my holiday (I also have the maxi in this print). For a mini it is a very decent length and doesn't feel too short which I love. I cannot express just how exquisite it is, comfortable,perfectly feminine flowing shape and super soft light fabric it's a gorgeous dress can be easily worn for many occasions - holiday/poolside,dining out. I also love that this is lined. My one critique would be the sleeves on this are elasticated - personally I prefer mine loose with a button, however they're not tight elastic or restrictive. Despite this I am totally in love with the print which is so delicate and pretty. You can see and feel that each dress is lovingly made and absolutely worth the price tag. I will be buying again!

Heavenly

Beautiful subtle patterns and colour, flattering cut with lovely puffed sleeves that protect the shoulders from the sun. Perfect length & lined for opacity. Super soft & a lightweight dream to wear! Perfect for everday with sneakers, dressed up with heels & delicate jewellery for summer evenings, or worn ‘ French girl’ style with tan leather accessories. As a former fashion editor, textile business owner & mature model- I know perfection when I see it. Just dreamy ❤️Lesley Dawn Clough.

Love it

Love this dress for maternity! I’m normally a small and stuck with a small even though I’m 8 months pregnant. There’s plenty of fabric in the mid section. My only criticism is that the dress is quite short if you are tall - I’m 5’9” and wear bike shorts under it. That said, the quality is beautiful and the fabric is a dream to wear. I’ll definitely be buying more from this brand.

Epitome of Femininity

I recently received Nora Mini Dress in Primrose, in size small. I had all my hopes set on this dress being the epitome of femininity and it has fulfilled all of my hopes and expectations. It is made with a most delicate light gauzy cotton that drapes and hangs with just the right amount of weight - and it is sewn with enough of that fabric to feel luxurious without being overly weighted down or adding unflattering bulk to the silhouette. The delicate buttons line the entire front length of the dress, allowing you to open up the neckline, and giving the dress a sophistication I particularly love. The pattern is just dense and rich enough without looking busy, and it is balanced by the pale and delicate colour palette of pinks and gauzy creams. It has a built in slip on the bottom half for thoughtful discretion of the bum area, making it a beautifully respectable dress without losing any of its fun or playfulness. The sleeves are perfectly tailored to the bodice - giving the arms full range of motion - while still maintaining a romantic puff shape. Nothing gets in the way, nothing pinches, nothing feels tight or irregular. The craftsmanship of the tailoring and sewing are extremely high-end. Even though the fabric itself is very delicate, it has been put together very reliably and I can physically feel the high level of quality that went into the design and execution of this dress. This dress is my third piece from Daughters of India, and is by far my favourite to date. I want to wear it everywhere! Thank you!!!!

Beautiful dress

Fabric was beautiful and the dress feels so good on. I love how it is lined! I'm a size 34-36 and got an XS and it fits perfectly. I was worried it might be a bit long as it is longer than the Kyra minis but the length is great too, ends an inch or so above my knees- I'm 158cm. Get this whilst you can!

Beautiful Ethos & Dresses

When I first saw Daughters of India on social media I was attracted by the beautiful boho style dresses because this is how I love to dress in the summer. After learning about their ethos I was even more intrigued and began following them. For a long time I was hesitant to order a dress since I live in Europe and the dress ships from Australia, and worried that I'd get the sizing wrong and I didn't want the hassle of returns etc. . . but finally I did order the Nora Mini in Primrose and I absolutely love it. I must admit it runs a bit small, the bodice is a shorter than I expected and it's a tad shorter than I expected in length as well. I still wear it and love it. I really want to order the Kyra but I'm not sure about the sizing.

Nora Mini Dress ~ Primrose

Beautifully created dress, I'm 169cm and normally would wear a Large, but I went the next size up cause I much prefer loose fitting garments. Also the length of the dress is better for size XL based on my height.

Very nice summer dress

Very nice dress. It fits me good I ordered size up L and I am happy because I was affraid of the lenght but it is ok for me. Maybe should be 10 cm longer but never mind. I am 176cm and i usually wear M. I keep them. Nice material, print and also colour. Quick delivery.

Amazing quality but seems bulky for sort girls

The dress is absolutely amazing and I will figure out a way to style it for my body type. That being said, I'm 5'3ft and 120lbs and it's just not as flattering as I'd hope? It's A LOT of material and I kind of feel like I'm drowning in it? It HAS to be styled with a belt otherwise it's just very bulky. I ordered the size small.

Nora Mini dress Primrose

Beautiful, light, well made, at the beginning I felt it was a bit too short (I have M size and am 170 cm tall), but then I got used to it and now it seems very good length to me. I also have tried using a belt on it and it also looked very nice belted. The upper part could be cut a bit less wide for me so it would make the upper part of my body look smaller, but this current cut is also nice and lovely. I recently purchased my second DOI dress (Jasmine in sea mist, M) and this one I like even more, the cut on the bodice/upper body. :) Thank you for these wonderful dresses, DOI!

Nora Mini Dress ~ Primrose SMALL

This dress is so floaty and pretty. I love the slightly longer length than the two Kyra minis I have. It says the dress features an underlining, "covering" the bodice to the base of the last tier but the underlining is actually only from the seam "under" the bustline down which is a bit disappointing as I now have to wear a bra. The elastic on the sleeves is also a little tighter than I would like and I have skinny arms so I push it up a bit and it is more comfortable. Despite these little things I do love this dress and it makes me feel gorgeous. I have been eyeing it off for quite a while now.

Beautiful Dress

This dress is so feminine and the fabric is floaty, light and slightly sheer. I can dress it up or down. The Billow sleeves make the dress really flattering hitting just beautifully at the waist. The fit is generous and comfortable, the chest accommodates an ample bust.

Schönes Kleid

Es ist zwar auf den ersten Blick schön aber das Material ist wirklich sehr dünn. Trotz der Unterlegung im Rockteil es ist durchscheinend. Ich finde man hätte auch ruhig mehr Stoff nehmen können. Ist wirklich kurz, ich würde es nur mit einer Radlerhose anziehen um nicht den Schrittbereich nicht sichtbar zu machen. Ich bin 170 cm gross keine Modelmasse, habe relativ sportliche Figur. Ich bin insgesamt nicht zufrieden weder der Stoff noch die Länge überzeugen mich nicht. Vereinzelt auch gezogene Fäden, ich muss es korrigieren und sehr aufpassen. der Stoff ist eine Mimose. Preisleisung passt einfach nicht.

Stunning dress!

The dress is absolutely stunning! The color is gorgeous, and the fabric feels so soft and delicate on the skin. I chose size L to make it a bit longer, and it turned out perfect — elegant and feminine!

Flowy and feminine

Love the fabric and design, perfect flowy trans-seasonal piece. I’m 5’1 but still it sits delicately between my thighs. Bought this for pregnancy and postpartum wear. Buttons are a great feature to help with breastfeeding too.

My 9th DOI dress. Didn't dissapoint, beautiful.

Lovely pink colourway, flattering for large bust. Cool flowy dress, built in under slip so it's not see through.

Love my Nora & Kyra mini but…

Nora wins out (my 2nd Daughters of India dress) bc of lining! Don’t get me wrong - I love my Kyra too! At 5’ tall both minis are perfect right over knee length on me & all the material in skirts doesn’t overwhelm me!

Love! I’m 5’1” and tiny . Got the mini. Sizing is true. So feminine and pretty. My go to for hot days. Might even get a spare. Well made.

Love love love

Now, I have read material is “too” light, maybe even see through!Uggg, that what I love so much. Not see through, it is lined with the most delicate cotton. Perfect for hot days in Australia & around the world when everything seems too hot. Not too mention look pretty too xx

Love this dress!

I now have 4 of these dresses and this is my favorite. I love the button detailing down the front, the fit, and the liner so the dress is not so shear as my others. It is a beautiful dress!

Soft and flattering

Love the soft fabric and the way the fabric falls. I am small and don’t feel overwhelmed in this dress. A soft underlining keeps it from being see-through and the buttons are a nice detail.

Incredible

So well made and so flattering. Inner lining hides undergarments. Material is light and soft. Feels like wearing air!

Favorite Yet

I have a large chest and the cut of this dress is MUCH more flattering on me than the Kyra. It is whisper light, and I wore it constantly on vacation in Hawaii from the beach to dinner. . . Total perfection.

Gorgeous dress

Great and fast delivery. Beautiful material and great made. How ever I brought the mini and was very short for a taller lady 5ft 8

Nora mini

I absolutely love this dress and have it in the maxi but I'm so disappointed with the length in the mini so am sending it back!Im only 5'7 and ordered xl and found it embarrassingly short. When I wore it I heard 2 women talking behind me saying I was brave to wear it out at this length. I dont normally care what people think but even I felt uncomfortable it in. Imo it needs another 2 to 3 inches!

So feminine

I really love this romantic and feminie dress. Love the warm toned primrose colour and buttoned front allows some variations. The material is pleasant on the skin and perfect for our hot summers

Beautiful and light as a cloud

I adore this dress. It am 172cl and took XL as I found the L to be a little short for day to day living.

Beautiful Dress

I love this dress however it is quite short - I feel I need to wear something under to save me from flashing with this flowey fabric. So for that I don’t dream to wear it often. It’s nicely lined so not very see through.

Best Dress ever

Super cute feminin and comfy! It’s my 3 Dress from DOI and the Quality is just perfect. I have to handwashing the dresses but they don’t smell so I don’t have to wash them very often. They dry very quickly because of the material.

Nora mini dress pink

My favourite DOI so far. Hangs beautifully and so comfy. Bought in size M but def could size down. Please make these in more colours esp teal or lavender.

Love the dress 100%

I wore it to my friend's wedding in Sicily in July. The dress felt light, flowy, stylish, and comfortable. The material is of such good quality that it's perfect for the hot Mediterranean weather. It absorbs sweat nicely, and even after wearing it for two days, the dress still felt and smelled fresh. I will definitely purchase more of these dresses for the Mediterranean summer.

Beautiful and Feminine

Love this dress! It's so soft, beautiful button closure on front, double lined top part and lining in the skirt. True handcraft! You will feel super feminine!

Beautiful only took one star off because…

Dress is gorgeous love the fit flow details and comfort especially love the added slip underneath only disappointment is it has no pockets and also I have purchased the kyra as well and the seam has already ripped first wearing 🥲

I don’t want to take it off

This was my first dress from Daughters of India and won’t be the last. I chose this one over others because of the cut and style, length of this mini was a little longer, second lining, and buttons to cover cleavage if I want to! I hope there will be future dresses with these qualities! Also in a midi or more colors??!! Love it and I never want to take it off when wearing it!!

Beautiful

The Nora dresses are more expensive but they are BEAUTIFUL and so flowy and lightweight. They are lined which I greatly appreciate. I live in these during the summer and year-round in the Bahamas. They are perfection.

Stunning

Love it! I especially like that this one is lined, making it more versatile than the Kyra (which I also have and love, but feel the sheer nature of it reduces its versatility).

Lovely print but too short

A little short, would have loved it to be a little longer. Print and fabric is beautiful. I wear it as a beach cover-up and the shortness of the dress works there.

Love love love

I have this dress in the darker colour . . . and loved it so much I brought this colour as well!It's absolutely beautiful I had to size up because my normal size was sold out and I actually prefer the looser fit. You wont regret buying this it's just beautiful

Love this light dress

This georgeous mini dress was a life safer while on holiday with humidity and high degrees. I love my daughters of India dresses and I have 7 in my collection so far:-)

So beautiful!

Amazing quality and just so very comfortable! This dress falls so beautifully in all the right place, and I don’t feel a need for a slip.

Most beautiful dress

Bought this dress for my boy's 1 year photo shoot and it was just the best choice! So lightweight and beautiful, also breastfeeding friendly, love at first sight!

Beautiful dress!

The fit and flow of this dress are incredible. Although it has a lining, I still found it somewhat sheer.

Nice Twist

I already have a couple of Kyras (Minis and Maxis) in my collection and the Nora is the perfect addition - it's like the Kyra with a twist. I love how the rubber band helps keep the sleeves from catching the fabric in your elbows.

Beautiful

The pattern and quality of the garment were both lovely. However, as a bigger busted lady, this style was not for me. I'm hopeful that my next order will accommodate me better as the dresses are beautiful.

Nora Mini Dress

This dress is just gorgeous. Quality exceeded all expectations, material is so soft, beautiful colour & love that it is lined. I'm only small, but it was the perfect fit as well. First time shopping with Daughters of India & I will definately shop here again.
