Uma Maxi Dress White · A$239
Handmade
The making of White
Our white fabrics are left undyed to preserve their natural character. Carefully prepared, washed, and softened, they retain a clean, even finish while maintaining lightness, breathability, and a gentle feel against the skin.
This dress was bought as a surprise by my mum, for me to wear the day after my wedding. I hadn't considered what I would wear and this was just perfect. It has such a wonderful flow and shape that I didn't want to take it off. I would buy again if multiple colours or prints if available. The quality is outstanding and I know it will last. I adore that I can dress all of my daughters of india dresses up or down depending on the occasion. I love the sheerness of the dress myself, but does need a slip underneath for modesty in certain occasions.
Daughters of India

Ihana kesämekko
Kangas aivan ihanan tuntuinen iholla ja laadukkaasti tehdyt leikkaukset. Solminta näppärä! Pituus nilkkoihin asti koossa L, olen 166 cm pitkä. Sopii hyvin myös isompirintaiselle. Kankaasta kuultaa vähän läpi, tämä on hyvä huomioida.

Cute but a little disappointed
The elastic around the arms was really loose compared to another dress in the same size with the same style sleeve, and the material is really thin and not lined. Quite an expensive dress. . .

Gift for Goddaughter
I gave this sweet white dress to my Goddaughter in the last 2 months of her pregnancy in the ""I have nothing to wear, nothing fits"" phase. She put it on straight away and was immediately transformed into a Goddess! She looked stunning and serene, literally glowing. The smile on her face was priceless. We realised it will be perfect for breast feeding too.

Love this dress. Wish there was a little more room for a deep bust. Maybe I'll grab the size up next and see if that gives more room in the breast.

The most beautiful white dress
As with all Daughters of India dresses this dress is perfection! It is such. Flattering cut and the sleeve is divine! The style is perfect for pregnancy, breastfeeding and beyond. The dress is great for casual with a pair of flats but also looks beautiful with heels for a more dressy occasion
Monica · 28 July 2024
Beautiful
This dress now comes in 3 colours but I'd originally bought the white one. Material is soft & amazing, feels very glamorous to wear. Love the wrap around style, and can be warm by many women, from petite to curvaceous or even pregnant. Very generous in sizing and comfortable. Add some bright accessories to take it from day to night and some healed sandals. Great company knowing it's supporting women in India

Uma Maxi Dress white
I absolutely love this dress. we moved with my husband's job to Thailand and its a perfect style and fabric to wear in hot tropical climate. the only thing - I have ordered L, but probably could have gotten away with M (I am 12-14 AU). it has some extra fabric in the skirt but I just tie the belt in a special way so that there are some folds. Fabric is thin and it drapes nicely. thinking about buying it in black as well.
Daughters of India
Hi Lovely,Thank you for sharing your experience with the Uma Maxi Dress! It's great to hear that it's perfect for the hot tropical climate in Thailand. The fabric and style sound ideal for staying comfortable and stylish. We do offer a detailed size guide on our website which lists the garment measurements and we're always here to help if needed but we're happy to hear you've adjusted the fit with the belt.We hope you keep loving your dress, and happy shopping if you decide to get it in black too!With love,DOI Team
Monica S. · Verified buyer · 4 July 2024
Great piece but not true to size
The fabric is lovely but i feel that the sizing isn't right. I ordered a medium as i am always a 38 in tops and 40 in bottoms but it is very big for me and doesn't give me that feminine feel that i see in the photos. Also, it is supposed to be bf friendly but it really only works that way on the right side. In order to bf with the left side you almost need to remove the whole dress which is a bit of a hassle.

Is another lovely dress from DoI, tailoring is excellent. Only slight downside is that material is slightly see-through at back (front overlaps so not see-through). Dress is straight and not as flared as other style dresses.

Beautiful dress
I get endless compliments on this dress - it’s really easy to wear, comfortable and while I’ve sized up to wear through pregnancy and postpartum I think it’ll be fine to wear at my normal size too (maybe a bit floaty). I’m currently 6 months pregnant and wear this dress several times a week! I’m 6ft1 and normally a size 10 but got a medium so I could expand a bit. It’s very gorgeous - highly recommend.

Gorgeous Dress
I used this dress for my maternity photos, and it was perfect. Slightly sheer on the top, but with a nude-colored bathing suit, I couldn't see anything. Usually, an XS, but I went with a small for my growing belly. Could have gone with usual size, and the dress would have fit! Highly recommend this gorgeous dress!

Lovely dress. I have one bought 3 items.
I love the white dress. Wish the other two items recently purchased had lining (agree with other purchasers) but they are still lovely. Less impressed with lack of reply to two messages posted on Facebook Messenger many weeks ago - other than two automated messages that someone would get back to me as soon as possible. .

Hi Beautiful ~ Thank you for your feedback, we are grateful for your support 💕 Depending on each individual, some may find our garments sheer and this is something we do note on our website. We wanted to leave the flexibility of the garment up to the customer ~ many love the free flowing feeling whilst some may choose to wear a slip if desired. 💗🙏 We do have a collection of lined dresses: The Jasmine Dresses in Sea Mist, Lavender and Shell, Nora Maxi & Mini in Noir + Primrose, and our Lalika Dress in Clove ✨Sending love,Daughters of India team xx 💝

Stunning spring/summer dress
This dress is absolutely stunning and nursing friendly! I bought this for newborn family photos and wore it two weeks postpartum. It is sheer but still high quality fabric so I wore a skin colored slip underneath and it worked well. It feels so feminine and whimsical. I love it! And as a side note, I returned a different DOI dress (that wasn’t nursing friendly) and used my store credit to get this one and the customer service was fabulous!! Very happy with the company and my purchase.

I really want to love this dress but in all honesty the sleeves are a bit much. I’ve ended up tucking the frilly bit underneath the rest of the sleeve which works ok, will probably look at getting the sleeves altered slightly.

Love this
I love this dress it is so flattering, wrap dresses are so forgiving for all body types ! Love the texture of the dress. Really like the light weight fabric, it is slightly sheer in the back. The only thing I would add would be a clasp or hook and eye at the bush to provide a bit more security, and would save the fiddling with the neck line.
Daughters of India
HI Beautiful,Thank you for sharing your love and feedback with us 🤍We do recognise that these beauties are sheer and have noted this on our website. This was to leave the flexibility of the garment up to our customers so they can choose to wear something under them or not. We recommend using a nude underwear set, or a little slip from your local department store if that would suit you better. It's a personal preference, but, we are certainly taking onboard this feedback and looking into another avenue as far as a slip is concerned to be able to offer another option to our customers. We hope this helps! Much love,The DOI Team💛🙏✨

Daughters of India
HI Gorgeous, Thank you for your message. All of our garments have a sizing chart available for you, this is an amazing way to determine which dress will be perfect for you before purchasing 💗 The Kyra Dress is very soft and flowy, however around the bust can be quite fitted. If you are looking for more of a generous fit, we would recommend sizing up. Please go off the measurements around your bust for the best determination for your size Much Love ❤️

The fabric on this dress is so soft and luxurious. I could have down sized by one size yet the extra room allows it to flow even more beautifully as well as drape so elegantly. Love this dress along with all the other dresses from Daughters. It makes the dresses even lovelier knowing the wonderful artisans buying them supports.
