Ria Mini Dress Ruby Red · A$179
Discharge block printed
The making of Ruby Red
Discharge printing begins by dyeing the fabric before a special paste is hand block printed onto the surface. Fine corn flour is dusted over the fabric to guide precise placement, with the process requiring warm conditions to react correctly.
Dress runs a little short - I recently purchased a medium in the blue. . felt a little short, so I got the large and it was still roughly the same length, or at least felt like it. For size reference - I am 5'4"" 175 lbs, 10 months postpartum - fitting in size 12 jeans USA size. fabric quality and print is just perfect - I wanted to get a shirt and pant set in this design, but the price point directed me to purchase the dress. Overall, I highly recommend if you are looking for a summer dress, vacation dress, beach dress - etc - it's truly perfect

Love the dress- with a few caveats
Overall experience with Daughters of India is always lovely. Their shipping is prompt and the garment is beautiful. The colour as seen in the images though, is far more 'fire engine' red than the dress itself, which I would say is more of a terracotta red- still beautiful though. Being an hourglass, size 18-20 AUS, I bought a 3XL which flows perfectly over my hips but in the scaling up of size, the neck and shoulders are huge. So much so that it's almost an 'off the shoulder' style. I'm getting this altered with a third party because I love the dress so much but to all the 3XL girlies, you have been informed. I look forward to wearing this dress as the weather warms up.

I love it!
It's such a beautiful summer dress! Feminine, flowy and I love the adjustable drawstring around the neckline. The red is so lovely, especially for Christmas! The sleeves were slightly longer for me but looks great when rolled up. It's now one of my favourites!

Love but too short
I want to love this. Beautiful print and style but very very short for me (170cm). Seems only a fraction longer than the Ria blouse. Would buy again if they were at least 10cm longer.
