Lovely dress
I love this dress and got so many compliments. The only eeason why im ginving it 4 stars is because i feel like the fabric is a little to flimsy for the price. Other than that, I love it!

This dress is 100x better than I could have imagined. I received it in the mail last Saturday and have worn it 3-4 times already. The fabric is substantial/nicely weighted but not heavy, yet I stayed cool outside on very warm days. I would buy this same dress in several prints if it were possible. Easily my favorite wardrobe piece already.
Daughters of India
We hope the moment you received your parcel felt like a little ceremony. From India to you - carried in kindness and woven in love. Thank you for making the journey complete, from hand to heart.

Didn’t drape well, pattern and colors were strange
This item didn’t drape well at all. The fabric was stiff and itchy/rough. It didn’t fit right. I have your other wrap dress that starts with a Z and it fits great. This one was the same size and just didn’t fit right at all especially around the waist and the hem was strange. The patches of fabric laid strangely and itchy did not look good at all. It seemed well made though. I am so bummed because I am out my shipping costs from Australia and then my costs to ship it back. All in all I lost over 40$ buying this dress although I did appreciate you making an exception and giving me a refund. I don’t like that your company only wants to give store credits back and doesn’t have enough styles that truly look good and work well for a larger bust for you to spend your credit on. The sit and style is very inconsistent. I don’t plan on buying from DOI again due to these issues. I can’t afford to risk 40-50$ for something that might not work for me like I did with this garment. Thanks for all you are trying to do for the women of India though! That is wonderful and I wish it could work!
Daughters of India
Hello Holly,Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that this particular piece didn't meet your expectations, especially given how well the other style (the 'Z' wrap dress) worked for you.As a small, ethical brand working with handcrafted techniques and natural plant - based dyes, we do occasionally experience slight variations in texture, fit and fabric feel - especially in new pieces before they've had a few gentle washes. The fabric does soften and relax over time, but we completely understand that comfort from the first wear is important too.We truly regret that this led to disappointment. While our refund policy is typically for an exchange or store credit, we were happy to make an exception in this case, and appreciate you acknowledging that.✨Your feedback on fit consistency is invaluable. We're always striving to do better, and insights like yours help us grow and refine.Most of all, thank you for recognising the mission behind our work and the women we support in India. It means the world to us. We're deeply grateful for your support thus far and truly wish this experience had been more positive for you.Warmest Regards, Daughters of India Team 💛🙏

Just Beautiful
Absolutely love this dress! The fit was incredible. I got the extra large. I currently weigh 215 lb and I'm 5'6 and it fit perfectly. I wear a US size 38G at Victoria's Secret for bras and it fit well in the bust. We need more colors in this dress! I would buy them all. Maybe some green/gold and purple/gray.
Daughters of India

The most beautiful dress
I absolutely adore this beautiful Patchwork dress. The fabric is gorgeous and the cut of the dress is so flattering and feminine. It’s my favourite summer dress already and I can wear it to so many occasions. I also love the puffy arms and that it is inspired by Daughters of India’s slow fashion ethics’s. A true dream dress and good for our Mother Earth

Real life princess dress
This dress was packaged so beautifully. It came in a lovely tote bag that I was so delighted to find. The dress itself is beautifully crafted and true size. The fabric is perfect. Do not expect a very thick dress, this dress is very lightweight, but it is perfect for humidity. It is just the type of dress that I need to be prepared for a very hot summer. Best of all, I feel like a breeze passes right through ☺️🤎

Thank you so much Sarai for sharing your kind words with us. We hope you have many many magical moments in this special piece xx With Love, Daughters Of India 💙💫🦋

Poet dress, inspiration
It’s beautiful to think of the loving hands and songs sung in the making of a patchwork dress from India. I got a size too big but it’s not noticeable the cool fabric floats in the breeze, to wrap me in magic any season.
Daughters of India

The way you’ve styled it with a vest is just stunning—it adds such a unique touch!Thank you again for sharing your experience with us. We hope your dress continues to bring you joy and inspiration!With love,Daughters Of India

The dress is very long. Made for someone at least 5’6. I am 5’2 and it was dragging on the floor and way too long and cumbersome to wear.

Pre ordered this dress and was so glad I got it. Very flattering and it has pockets! Only issue I had was it being too long for me but easy enough to get it taken up.

Magical Dress!
This dress is such a special piece! I was excited to buy it as soon as I saw it online- and it is even more lovely and unique in person! The hand loomed fabric is gorgeous, and also not see through at all, so no slip required. I bought the small which fits perfectly- I am 5’8 and about 130 lbs. I think because of the wrap style it would be adjustable to a pretty big range of sizes. I’ve already gotten so many compliments on this piece and I hope to keep it for decades to come!
Alison · 20 May 2023
Magical dress!
I was so excited to buy this dress when it came out- it is even more lovely in person than in photos! The cut is extremely flattering, and the hand loomed fabric is soft and very high quality. Also it see through at all! Lots of compliments my first time wearing it out! Definitely a timeless and special piece!
