I’m 5’8 size 16, bought XL and it fits perfectly. Fabric is soft & fine lawn, ideal for a hot summer days. Colour is a soft grey blue. Feels lovely on for any casual occasion. Delighted with my purchase!Janine 💕
I love this dress! I bought it in a medium. I am 5’7 and 145 pounds with broad shoulders. The cotton is silky soft. I knocked off one star as I felt the elastic around my bicep could be just a bit looser for ultimate comfort.
This dress couldn’t be more lovely! Breezy, light fabric that’s comfortable even in a blazing Florida summer. I love the modest cut and didn’t find the fabric to be sheer, which was a concern from some of the pictures and other reviews. I’ve had so many compliments already and can’t wait to wear this around the house as well as out and about.
We're so grateful for your positive feedback. It means the world to us.✨🩵🩵
This dress is beautiful. I am 5,5 and 120 lbs and I ordered an XS. It is a little tight in the under arm area so I wish I had ordered a small instead but then I would be worried it would be too big everywhere else. Still a light weight and beautiful dress. I can’t wait to wear it!
I ordered 2 of these dresses on sale (medium & large) and they are really small across the bust and underarms. The pockets also sit unusually high. For reference I wear a US size 6 and am small busted. Unfortunately even the large is too snug and I’m stuck with 2 dresses. Too bad because the dress itself is quite lovely.
The dress is lovely - colour and style as shown in the images. I was a bit confused with the sizing chart on the website but after checking the Q & A's decided on a Small - I am a size 10 and about 5 foot 5 and the size/length is great. The cotton is really soft and the style easy to wear. My only feedback is that the pockets are perhaps slightly too high and perhaps would have preferred shorter puffed sleeves, but I am able to tuck them under and change the look of the sleeves to something I prefer.
lovely purple color. Shape may not be the most flattering on curvy girls but that is true with any tent style dress. Cotton is not sheer. Elastic was a little tight on the arms
Very pretty, gives me cinderella vibes (though the colour is more fairy godmother😛)Those with wide shoulders may find the collar area a bit constrictingXS worked well lengthwise with flats or low heels (I'm 5'6)
This is a beautiful dress and the fabric is dreamy. Although the length and width are generous for a Small, it feels hiked up under the arms. I’m sizing up next time for this reason!

I bought this dress in two colors, and they're as beautiful as I'd hoped. It fits a little tight under the arm pits, but not uncomfortable. The only downside is it's seethrough. A little disappointing given the price point. You need a slip underneath to wear it without flashing your bum.
Very happy with this dress. It is flowy and soft. I bought it in my regular size which is medium and it feels right on me. I was a tad concerned with the possible see through aspect based on other comments but I have been wearing it without a slip underneath and it is just fine for me. I feel good in it and that is all I was asking for. Lovely garment that I am please to have for many summers ahead.
A big thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted to have met your expectations. ✨🩵
An Absolute beauty. It is not sheer in my opinion. Ordered size S and it fits great for 165cm and 60kg (I am usually a 38 let s say).
Your support means everything to us. Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience.🩵🩵
Love this dress that I bought 6 pcs of this style in different colors and even twice the same colour 😊. Love the style, flow, length and pockets. It is so versatile that I had worn it many times, for example dinner with friends, shopping, bbq. Had to shorten it though not to step over it especially up and down the stairs.
We're so grateful for your support and positive feedback. It means the world to us!Much love 🩵🧡💚
I followed the chest measurements and got the M size. Presumably I'm wider at the chest area now due to pregnancy. However the length of the dress hits right at the soles, which is a too long for walking/ and a trip over when climbing steps. It would help promo pics to include information about model's height and the size of dress they are wearing? I was a little deluded cos it seemed to rise up to model's ankles in the pictures online of this dress. Still, it's a pretty dress! I'm still wondering how to tailor this, and which part to shorten
Hi Beautiful,Thank you for your love and support.We have noted that this dress does not show our model height details ~ we are aiming to have it listed under product details, model measurements. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.We hope you enjoying floating around in this beautiful Sahana Gown once you can have it altered to your height requirements.Much love xx
This is a lovely dress, gorgeous colour. I have worn it with a thick belt, cowboy boots and my Levi denim jacket ( It is still cool here) and it looked great. I don't find the fabric too sheer. No more sheer than any other of my DOI dresses ( I now have 8). I did see a comment that someone thought that the pockets were too high, I don't think they are. Another gorgeous dress! Thank you Daughters of India !
Your feedback is a treasure. Thank you for your support and sharing the love! Love & Appreciation 🩵🩵
From purchase to delivery to wearing this beautiful dress, the service provided and quality of the garment has been excellent. Despite living halfway across the world from Australia I received my dress within 5 business days of ordering it. . . amazing! The fabric and colour are beautiful and the cut is perfect for my size. . . UK 12, so I bought a medium. Personally I like where the pockets have been put, so that they don't interfere with the flow of the dress. Thank you DOI. . . . I will definitely be purchasing more items!!
Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted to have exceeded your expectations. 🤩Sending Our Love ✨
This is nearly perfect! I have three of these and I love them all! I’ve worn two so far and the blue lagoon one is one of those. I do find the pockets a bit high, but they are spacious and it just takes a bit of getting used to in order to use them. I love dresses with pockets. The dress fits well and I love the airiness of it. I don’t find it too sheer either and that’s good as well. Overall, I find this a wonderful dress. All I need to find out is how well it washes.
Hello Lovely ~ Your feedback means the world to us! Thank you for sharing your positive experience.Garment care Instructions: We recommend a gentle, cold water hand wash using natural detergents, and hang drying in the shade. Handcrafted garments are delicate, however, designed to last when treated mindfully with love and care. Much love,Daughters of India xx
I love how soft and breezy this dress is. It's lightweight which is perfect for these hot Florida summers. It is see through so you'll need a slip. There are no pockets which is a disappointment but overall, it's a great dress!
Thank you for sharing. Hearing about your positive experience brightens our day!
The colour is more grey than blue (I feel anyway) but I’ll still keep it as the style is flattering. I thought I’d need to take it up cause I’m a shortie, but surprisingly the length is perfect. Fabric, as always with the DOI dresses, is gorgeous 😊
Pockets. A dreamy shade of blue. Not too baggy not too tight. Pockets. A light-weight and crisp cotton fabric. And pockets.
Sounds just perfect for you honey! Xx
The fabric is a lovely soft cotton, and will be a great to wear in warmer months. Unfortunately the elastic in the sleeve is just little tight. I am usually a size 12.
This dress is gorgeous. The color is a refreshing summer blue and the material feels light and luxurious. I wear it with a belt to cinch in my waist. Love the at it has pockets! I get so many compliments when I wear this dress.
The dress looks nice on but the elastic on the sleeves feels uncomfortably tight and I do not have fat arms. Also the dress is too sheer to wear to work without a slip, and finding a long cotton slip is a pain and extra expense, added to the expense of taking it to a tailor to do something about those tight sleeves. I am still unsure about whether or not to return it as it was expensive especially with delivery to the UK. Returning will be another £20 at least so I’m on the fence. I do love the flowiness and the colour. Bought a medium and I’m 22 weeks pregnant and was a size 10-12 before.
This is the first time I’ve bought this design and I found it a very comfortable and flattering dress so I was disappointed that I had to return it because the colour wasn’t as shown. I was expecting blue but it was grey which didn’t suit me at all. I can’t wait for you to restock this dress in the green and blue because I shall definitely be buying it again!
Delivery was perfect. The dress is absolutely divine. Flowy, not too sheer, can be worn as it is. The handcuffs are indeed a bit tight in case you have fluffier hands:)
Thank you for your feedback and kind words. We’re thrilled to hear you’re happy with your beautiful dress 🩵🦋
Delivery was quick and very happy with the fit it is true to size. Not that sheer and an absolute delight to wear !!
Thank you for supporting ethical fashion and for your lovely review! 💙
I love the color and look but the fit seems off. I usually am an XS or S and ordered a S. The sleeves hit in a weird spot and the dress doesn't have much stretch. Still beautiful just wish it fit better.
Absolutely lovely dress. It is a bit sheer. A slip for just the skirt part works just fine or you can wear a unitard underneath. Looks great with a wide belt. I love it!
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience! We're grateful for your support. ✨💛
This is my first Daughters of India dress and I am glad I bought it. It’s very comfortable and flowy. Plus, it’s easy to style. It could also be maternity dress. This dress has a thin fabric so it’s a great dress to wear in summer especially when you go to the beach.
Your feedback is a precious reminder of why we do what we do. Thank you for walking this path with us.
I bought this dress a size down from usual and it fits perfectly. Colour is a lovely blue grey.
Bought this dress on sale. It feels like something worn in a fairytale or childrens book. I love its other-worldly and other timely character. It's modest and feminine. It has pockets and while that normally really excites me and makes me love a dress or skirt more, in the case of this cut, the placement of the pockets widens the figure a little, rather that slimming down. Doesn't bother me too much, as I don't find this dress is trying to be sexy or slimming - it feels like something you'd wear at a cottage or on the countryside, walking to town to buy cheese and eggs. Sweet, homely dress.
I am going to enjoy this dress, material is great and it falls beautifully. Weather not quite warm enough to allow me to wear it just yet. It only just fits me across the bust and is generous, flowing every where else. I am sure that I would like the long version of Kyra style as I prefer v neck styles. Are you able to increase bust size (a little) in future designs?
I’m an Aussie size 10 so based on sizing guide, I ordered a medium which was enormous so changed it for a small which is still extremely big in the back. It’s a very pretty colour but to make it work for me, I will need to get it altered. I didn’t feel it was worth the price tag.
I was intrigued by the flowing designs and the story of fair treatment for workers creating hand crafted garments. I was delighted to receive my first purchase and feel the butter soft cotton that is feather light. The length is even perfect for my 5’10” frame. Well done—I’ll be back!
I got the same dress in a different color, same size, but this color is slightly smaller for some reason. I can still fit it, but it's more snug. something to keep in mind when ordering. color is beautiful.
This dress is a very pretty shade of blue and wearing it made me feel confident and relaxed. The material is very soft and washes beautifully. It can be used for many different purposes, love the versatility! A day out or an afternoon nap, it works for many things.
We love hearing this! Thank you for taking the time to share 💕
I ordered this in Blue Lagoon and the color is gorgeous, fabric - ethereal and as is everything DOI, lovingly and quality made. The singular drawback is that the elastic on the sleeves slightly detracts from how comfortable the rest of the dress is. I will still wear endlessly so know I'm nit-picking.
🙏🩵
I love my Sahana dresses which I have in the green and blue. My only comment is that the elastic is a bit tight on the sleeves. Seems to be a recurring issue as its mentioned by others. Otherwise its a great product.
Very happy with my purchase. This dress is lovely and comfortable, made of soft fabric and can be worn loose or with a belt. Perfect for summer days.
Love the lightness n coolness of the fabric. . . . but the opening of the side pockets are placed too high up on the dress, so i have to lift my hands a bit further up to get them into the pockets. Not a deal breaker tho. Still a no fuss, easy breezy dress that somehow makes me feel like I am surrounded by a cloud. Am considering getting the brown dress too.
Hi Beautiful!Your words inspire us to keep delivering the best. Thank you!Sending love,Daughters of India xx
I love this dress and the fact that it is light weight. It even has pockets! Please make it in more solid colors!
It is see though. I didn’t realize it before buying. Also, get your normal size. I sized down, but while it still fits, it’s a bit tight in the arms and chest
Love this style. Fabric and color perfect. Being a short peron I needed to take up the hem but that was easy. Lovebwhat DOI stands for. X
Thanks for sharing the love, and for the awesome review. We appreciate your support! ✨🩵
Love this dress so much, got a lot of compliments. The blue color is beautiful and the fabric very soft and good quality.
We're so grateful for your positive feedback. It means the world to us.🩵
This is my second Sahana gown in blue. I wore the first one so much I needed to renew it. That is how much I love it. I now have one for around the house and one for wearing in public. I absolutely love these dresses, not just the Sahana. I get asked what brand they are quite often, particularly in the humid weather we are experiencing at the moment. I really don't wear much else. They are the perfect option.
Love it since I put it on . It’s so fluid and feminine and my body just opens when I’m wearing it ❤️
Thank you for sharing your love and beautiful photo with us. We hope you have many magical moments in this special piece xx Much Love, Daughters Of India 💫💙
love the colour and that it is super flowy. the sleeves are a bit frilly and bulky though.
The neckline on this dress is different than the neckline on the two print Sahanas I bought previously. It doesn’t flatter me, so I sent it back. I was shocked and dismayed that I had to pay the cost of mailing it to Australia! Refund not yet received.
The perfect summer dress, light breeze fabric , protects me for the sun and looks great on .
I bought the Sahana Gown - Blue Lagoon recently and from the moment I put it on, I loved the soft cotton and the swish of the generous skirt! Super finish, fit and colour. My dream dress!
Awwww Natalie! You look soooo very beautiful. Thank you so much for your support and love. Appreciate you so much! xxxx
