Thank you so much for your lovely support! 💛 It means the world to us to hear that you love everything about Daughters of India. We're so grateful to have you as part of our community. ✨
Looks like the pictures and feels very comfy.
My second leap
I have a maxi length dress from Daughters of India which I love. I also have too many clothes but when I saw the Ocean Blue mini dress on sale (which I didn't really need), I couldn't resist. The fabric is so comfortable, the colors bright and warm, and there's something lovely about knowing you are wearing a free-flowing and happy dress that makes wearing it a delight.
Thank you for your beautiful words. We're so pleased the Ocean blue mini brings you comfort and joy! We hope you have many magical moments in this special piece. Much Love, Daughters Of India 🩵

I love my dress. I have been on the site many, many times "just looking" finally deciding to order just one. The dress is beautiful, comfortable and extremely well made. I'm obsessed with the detail on the bottom of the tie. Waiting for the all black Kyra midi to come back in stock.

Kyra Mini Dress
Fit as well as fabric is amazing! The perfect summer dress !
That’s so lovely to hear ~ thank you for your support 💫
Beautiful dress. So feminine and flowy. I wish it was a bit less sheer but I’ll just wear storts.
Greetings from Finland!
I am so glad that I stumbled upon your website and found this beautiful and lovely dress just in time for the hot weather to start. The dress is well made and finished and has just that something I have been looking for but haven't found yet. The fabric is wonderfully thin and of very good quality and there is plenty of it!And the surprise was that the dress has pockets, which always makes me happy!This will not be the only one, I will continue to search for my second ideal dress, which may be difficult when they are all so beautiful and cute.
Hello Tuula,Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear how much you love your new dress - and that it arrived just in time for the warm weather! It's always such a pleasure to know when a piece resonates so perfectly - from quality of the fabric to the surprise of pockets (a favourite of ours too!) We're so glad you found that 'something special' you'd been searching for. We can't wait to help you find your next favourite - though we agree, choosing can be the hardest part! Much Love, Daughters of India 🩵
Wonderful dress
My Maxi dress is wonderful! Børje fabrick and the colours are excellent! The bolt tving is that the siling is a bit «short» for tall scaninavians. . I’m normalt a 36-38, but not S in there dresses. . Next I’m going for L. S is more like a midi dress (I’m 176 cm). But all over wonderful dress!
Short/small in size
I recieved my two dresses (Kyra mini dress and Kyra Mari dress) recently. The quality og the fabrikk and the parters/colors Are amazing❤️ I love them. I nougat both in size S (i normalt use 36-38 in size, and i didn’t take the time to look at the tover measurments, my mistake) Unfortunately i am quite tall (176 cm) So the maxi dess is a midi dress to me and the mini dress was so short I had to «donate» to my daughter (lucky her). So I mugge have to buy a few more in time…🙈😂🙏❤️

Cute little dress, I am looking forward to wearing it. It was easy to place the order and I had many updates as my order made its way to me.
Your review warms our hearts. Thank you for celebrating slow fashion!
Thin fabric
Nice design, but extremely thin fabric and the dress shrank in wash, even though hand washed using cool temperature. Fabrics really should be pre-shrunk prior to manufacture.
Dear Nicole, Thank you for taking the time to review the Kyra Mini Dress ~ Ocean Blue However, we are so sorry to learn about the unexpected shrinking after washing. Please know that our dresses made of cotton fabric naturally create a cheesecloth texture, which we find flattering and unique. While this texture is intentional and not considered faulty, we understand your disappointment if it's not what you were expecting.To address the texture of your Kyra dress, we recommend using an Enzyme-based detergent and fabric softener while hand washing, as this can help smooth out the fabric fibres. Additionally, you can steam or iron the dress on a cotton heat setting to restore it to its normal size and shape 💞We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope these suggestions help improve your experience with the dress. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team at hello@daughtersofindia.netWishing you a lovely day ahead! 🧡Much Love, DOI Team
Just beautiful
My dress came all the way across the world in less than two weeks and upon opening my parcel I was excited to see my dress was in the cutest DOI tote bag. I love the feel, color and the way it looks on me. I was torn between s and x’s so I got the small. They’re suppose to be loose but I think my next orders will be xs. The dress makes me feel pretty. I did have some questions about my order and I was given prompt reply’s from Kristen. Overall, im very happy with my Kyra dress and customer service.
Knowing you love your dress inspires us. Thank you for being a part of our slow fashion journey! 🤩Thank you for your support! 🤗
BEYOND Beautiful’
This dress is a dream! Soft, delicate and elegant, it is as comfortable as it is beautiful. Definitely one of the nicest pieces of clothing I’ve ever bought and I shop almost exclusively in boutiques because I love unique styles and natural materials. If you’re wondering how it washes, I washed it in my washing machine on delicate cold water, let it air dry, and after I ironed it, it was just as perfect as when I bought it.
Hello Brenda,Thank you so much for your heartfelt words! 💫 It means the world to know this dress has become such a treasured piece in your wardrobe. We’re so happy you’ve found beauty, comfort, and quality all in one. 💛With love,DOI Team
Most stunning dress
I just received my Kira mini dress in ocean blue today. I have been so exited to find out more about the quality, fit and overall look of the dress from daughters of India. And may I just say wow! I absolutely love it. So beautiful and makes me feel amazing. Comfortable and well fitted. My only regret is that I didn't buy more. I will definitely be back supporting this lovely brand🩵 Thanks a lot🙏
We're thrilled you love the quality and design. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Reordered in a different color the next day!
What a perfect dress for hot and humid tropical Africa. Airy and floaty, beautiful color, fabric and construction. I probably could have sized down from XL, but it's not an issue - my reorder is the same size because L had sold out. At five foot four, the dress hits me mid knee. Absolutely gorgeous. If you're on the fence like I was for months, stop hesitating, you won't regret it.
Hi Lovely,Thank you so much for your beautiful feedback! We're so happy to hear you're loving your dress and that it's been the perfect companion for tropical Africa. Enjoy every moment in your gorgeous dresses! ✨With love,DOI Team

Best summer dress!
One of my favorite dresses to wear in the Texas heat. It's so comfortable and the color looks amazing! It is super flowy so in the wind the dress goes up, so I do wear biker shorts underneath
We're so happy the dress met your expectations! Thank you for sharing.
Perfection
Light and comfy. True to colour
Gorgeous color!
Love this dress and the color. So flowy, such a great go-to!
Your positive feedback encourages us to keep creating. Thank you! 💓
A beauty
A stunning dress, beautiful fabric but sadly not for me… it didn’t really suit my shape, due to the bust line! Exchanging for something else!

Love, love, love
Love DoI dresses, great colours and designs. I had my eyes on the dress for a long time and I have other DoI dresses and blouses. Thank you.
We appreciate your kind words. Enjoy your beautiful new piece!
Beautiful Blue
Finally got this colour! 😍 Love it!!!
We’re so happy you love your dress! Thank you for your kind review. 🥰
Ocean Blue Dress
Very pretty! I get lots of compliments especially when I was walking in the beach. I can't wait for the midi version. Thanks DOI!
We're so happy the dress met your expectations! Thank you for sharing.
It’s a beautiful dress. However, do not order the dress if you do not look like the model wearing it! This dress looks like a tent on me because I have large breasts. The seam that should go below my breast, cuts a right across my breast Returning the item from Canada cost almost as much as purchasing it. I really wanted to exchange it for a different style that may be more suited to my body type, but I can’t afford to do so. I really wanted to support the company, but it’s financially impossible to take the risk to purchase online.
Beautiful floaty dress
This is the most gorgeous colour blue. I bought this dress to wear in Bali as it’s light, floaty, cool and will transition from day to night easily. Im a size 14 and ordered a large and fits great Am looking forward to wearing it in Bali.

Wish it had pockets
Thank you for your message. 💛We are gradually introducing pockets into all of our exquisite Block Printed Kyra Dresses in both Mini and Midi lengths. However, as a slow fashion brand committed to preserving traditional craftsmanship, all our pieces are meticulously handmade in India using the ancient art of hand block printing. Therefore, I'm unable to provide a specific timeframe for when pockets will be incorporated into all colour ways.✨
Dress
Great quality and style.
So comfortable and easy to wear
Fabulous. Delivery was prompt Colour, design and the fabric just what I was looking for Love these dresses
Your feedback warms our hearts. Thank you for sharing the love! 🦋
A Gem to Wear
Got the ocean blue Kyra mini recently. It is the fifth Kyra mini I own. These are so comfortable and flattering on petite frames. To my surprise mine came with pockets which I love
Love it
Just feels so good on and so cool and comfortable 😊
Thank you for supporting slow fashion! We're glad you're loving your dress.
Lovely but to short
This dress is beautiful unfortunately at 5'8 it's way to short. I've got a midi and maxi but as a taller gal would also love the opportunity to add a mini to my wardrobe. Would love to see them offer these in a petite and tall version down the track. An extra 5cm would make this a perfect dress unfortunately I'm just going to have to wear it around the house as I don't fancy flashing everyone 🤣
Hi Tamsyn, Thank you so much for your feedback, we truly appreciate it 💗
Beautiful but to short
This dress is stunning I'm just gutted like other reviewers that it's so so short. I'm 5'8 and if I bend over I completely flash my bum. I've got a midi and maxi but as a taller gal would also love the opportunity to be wear a mini. Would be great to see them possibly do a petite and tall version of this as an extra 5cm would make this a perfect dress 💙
Disappointing Fit
After referring to your size chart I ordered the Small…. But on receipt of the dress, though the material is light and breezy the yoke goes across my bust and not sit under it which I was expecting… so feel disappointed
Hi Majella, Thank you for your feedback 💛 Yes our Kyra dress often sits across the bust, not below (especially for larger bust sizes), but it really depends on the individual person. Since we altered the Kyra a while back (the bust seam was lowered slightly), a lot of customers expect the seam to sit below the bust, but this largely isn't the case, as the design of this style does have a high bust seam. We are sorry the style did not meet your expectations and hope you still love it or are able to exchange it for another style such as our beautiful Nora which you may love more so 💗
My go to dress
Wonderful experience, just ordered another for my daughter. Love the blue shade and easy flow material. I bought a large but will purchase medium in the future. It worked but a bit too voluminous. I'm 5'9, usually wear an 8/10.
Hi Annie, this is wonderful news! We hope your daughter loves her new dress too
Love it
I love it
💝💝
Love it
This mini dress is beautiful! Love the blue color and perfect length- I’m 5’7”. Small works well I’m about 135 lbs

Beautiful, elegant and very comfortable!!!
Love Daughters of India dresses 🥺 I have this colourway and another one, and they are the perfect dresses for those warmer days where you want to dress comfortably but still look elegant! Such a beautiful design and will always be timeless.
Your kind words mean the world to us. Thank you for being a fantastic customer! ✨🩵
Kyra Mini Dress
I love the Kyra mini, can not wait to get another, so beautiful!
Thrilled to hear you had a great experience with us! Thanks for being a valued member of our customer family. ✨🩵
Style and cut for a larger lady
I purchased this dress for my best friend. Unfortunately, it is the wrong cut and style for a bigger woman with a big chest. We tried different sizes to make the dress work but just made her look 3 times bigger. The XL sat too high on her chest and the 2XL sat lower but was too much material around the middle and made her look huge, was not flattering at all. Very disappointed as we both loved the colour.
