As with all of the daughters of India products I have purchased this dress feels like wearing air, it is so unbelievably comfortable and flattering. I wore it this weekend and was stopped by a few different women complementing me on it. It was a warm day and I didn’t get overly hot at all because the dress breathes so beautifully

Beautiful Dress
I loved this dress . Us sizes mean nothing. . bust size does. The US size chart is not really what it is here on the chart. Thank You for answering my questions on that. I was very informed on the shipping date and when it would arrive. Thank You !
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us ~it truly means the world 💕
Lovely dress
Just received my first Kyra mini. Fabric is so soft and comfortable and the color is beautiful and feminine. I'm 5'8 175lb with an E cup. Size L fits me perfectly and dress length hits right above the knee. Since Fabric is a little sheer and apricot color is on the lighter side, I choose to wear boxers/biker shorts underneath rather than a slip, for added coverage.
Hello Aleisis,Thank you so much for your lovely review of the Kyra Mini! We're thrilled to hear you're loving the soft, comfortable fabric and the beautiful, feminine colour. It's great to know that the size L fits you perfectly - we appreciate you sharing your experience, especially with sizing and layering tips! Your feedback is really helpful for our community. Enjoy wearing your beautiful dress, and we hope to see you soon!Much Love, Daughters of India 🧡
Beautiful fabric!
I am very happy with this dress. It is slightly see through with the lighter color, but I wore tan shorts and you couldn’t tell!
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts — it inspires us to keep creating with integrity and heart. 💝
Love love love
Beautiful dress. I’ve worn it once and received compliments.
Such a lovely dress!
Thank you daughters of India! I find the dress absolutely comfortable and still very flattering! I love that it is so loose but till stays in place where you need it. See-through is no Problem since there is so much fabric at the skirt-part. I am 1. 67m and 53kg, i ordered an xs which is nice and loose but still in the right place for example at he shoulders etc. The fabric is a nice light cotton, smells good, not chemical etc. Delivery was amazingly fast and accurate - will definitely order another one 😁☀👗
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us ~it truly means the world 🙏💕
Very nice dresses Very well organized with the shipping . I will definitely continue to buy more!
Thank you so much for sharing your kind words with us! We hope you feel amazing in your new dress! 💛
Support women's business. . . but
The dress was far overpriced for the fit and construction. I am not a large breasted woman, but it was like being in a panini press. I order larger bc I have a wide rib cage. The rest of the dress swallowed me. It was totally see through. I was a textile major and appreciate this very much. The print and concept is good. . . but ouch for the price, return policy and limited inventory of choice with a credit stinks. I want your business to thrive but women's bodies are all different and for the price of this dress I should not have to wear a slip and should be able to wear a bra. I wish your business the best.

Beautifully light and airy dress
Love the gorgeous apricot colour/print and the 'easy to wear' flattering design. The cotton fabric is light and airy and perfect for long summer days. In addition the impeccable ethics of this company means I will purchase more in the future. 💖
We appreciate your support for slow fashion and your wonderful review.

See through
I liked the pattern, however I returned this item as it was too see through for me to wear without a slip under it.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.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 find it is truely personal preference.✨
Gorgeous!
So perfect as an everyday dress. I’m a true to size 6 and not very tall (5’5) but the xs is on the shorter side. I personally don’t have a problem with the length, but you may want to consider sizing up if this would be a problem for you.
We're so glad you found something you love. Thank you for your review! ❤️
Beautifully made
It's very pretty BUT unfortunately it just doesn't suit me and makes me look HUGE. I have a maxi and a midi from DOI which suit me and my boho spirit better but the mini is just not right for me.
Hi Joanne,Thank you for your honest review! We're so glad you appreciate the craftsmanship of your dress, even though this particular style wasn’t the perfect fit for you. It’s wonderful to hear that you love your DOI maxi and midi dresses—they truly do embody that effortless boho spirit! ✨If you wish to exchange your Kyra Mini dress or need any guidance on styles that might suit you best, we’re always happy to help at hello@daughtersofinidia.net 💛With love & gratitude,DOI Team
Super soft and fine
The design and cut of the dress is outstanding, the print of the fabric and colour just stunning BUT whilst the bodice over the bust is double layer, the skirt isn’t and way too see through. When it’s not a dark colour or solid print, the dress wld benefit from either a light weight slip or preferably apply the same double layering as you have in the bodice.

Decadent Wearing
I bought a maxi and a mini and when there is a daily average temperature of over 40 degrees celsius they are floaty feminine and lovely to wear. I missed reading the note about the mini being sheer so I’m not sure its age appropriate for me (and in this heat I’m not about to be layering) but the dress itself is so beautiful.
Thank you for celebrating slow fashion with us. Enjoy your beautiful dress! 💓
Lovely Print
Bought the maxi but that does not stop me from getting the same colour in mini. No regrets!
We’re so happy you love your dress! Thank you for your kind review. 🥰
This dress is incredibly beautiful. I love how feminine and delicate it is. I am petite, so the length is good for me. However, if you have a larger bust, this dress may not be ideal. The dress is also quite sheer, and the neckline could be too revealing if you have a larger chest.
Beautiful dress but so insanely see-through!
The dress is gorgeous, so flowy, light and POCKETS! Who doesn't love pockets. However, it's such a shame how see-through it is and that it's not lined or that Daughters of India don't have a slip to purchase with it. I eventually managed to get my hands on a nude skirt so my knickers could stop showing. I've washed it a number of times and the dress has kept its shape so nicely. I will intend to purchase again if and when another sale comes around.
Flowy and Feminine
I love my new Daughters of India dress. I took it with me on a recent trip to Bali and it was perfect. I love that it's not lined - the soft flowy fabric is cool and feminine. I look forward to having an excuse to order another one. Thank you to your team and the talented women in India that are creating these beautiful garments. Sarah XX PS. have you thought about offering tours of your small factories outside Jaipur to let keen customers see first hand how fair trade works, the hand block printers, dyers, and hand stitching artists? I'd love to go on a tour with you :) XX
Your kind words mean so much to us. It's fantastic to hear you love the look and feel. Thank you for recognizing our efforts in slow fashion.Thank you for supporting our small business! 💝
Summer Fav!
Wonderful and fast service. The kyra dresses are delightful - I have in 2 colours, about to purchase a 3rd. Good length on me (I am 159cm), I am usually an 8-10/small in most things but I purchased the M for ample bust area. It's true that the dress sits nicer if you size up. The material is so floaty and cool and soft - you'll want to wear it every day in summer!
We appreciate your support for slow fashion and your wonderful review. Much Love 💛
I feel like a fresh apricot
The Kyra Mini Dress in apricot (size S) is wonderfully light, fresh, and airy. It looks beautiful on, and I'm already eagerly looking forward to summer so I can wear it!
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience! We're grateful for your support. ✨🧡
Adorable summer dress
This dress is just adorable! The softest fabric and sits so nicely. Mini dresses are usually always so short on me but this was the perfect length!It's slightly sheer on the bottom so recommend wearing some nude underwear or wearing to the beach!Can't wait to get another dress summer dress!
Your feedback is a treasure. Thanks Beautiful for choosing us and sharing the love! ✨🧡
Stunning simplicity
I love wearing this dress - it’s feminine and effortless and so comfortable to wear. It is more see through than I was expecting but it doesn’t stop me wearing it for any occasion. I know I’ll reach for this over and over again for years to come:
Hi Allira, we are so happy you love this style! Thank you for your love and support 💞
See through 🫤
I’ve bought two of these dresses before , this one is much tighter across the bust but wearable . It would be great if companies stuck to same sizes from start to finish . I love them anyway but this is a bit disappointing .
Hello Lynda, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. 💛 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 also be mindful that the size guide reflects the size of the garment and will need to be larger than your body measurement for a comfortable fit. If you need further assistance with your order or have any concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we're here to help in any way we can. Much love ✨🙏
I want this dress in every color
So beautiful. Care so fast. I wish I could afford it in every single color. Just so feminine for my ever changing body.
Hello Lovely,Thank you so much for your lovely review Hearing that you find the dress so beautiful and feminine, especially as it adapts to the ever-changing body. That's exactly what we hope for with our designs!We love your enthusiasm for wanting it in every colour ~ it's truly flattering. 😊 We look forward to continuing to create pieces that make you feel amazing!With love,Daughters Of India
Different fabric than usual.
I really love the color of the dress and the cut is great as usual. I notice that the fabric feels very different to the previous dresses that I purchased from Daughter of India. Even though it says that it is 100% cotton, it feels very differently. I think the previous dresses that I purchased use better quality fabric.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us! We're grateful for your support.❤️✨
Most Beautiful Dress
I'm in love with this dress, it's my second daughters of India Dress and it does not disappoint. The material is so lightweight and flows so elegantly. Not too see through. I feel amazing in it. Yes to having more so worth saving for. Leave the look alikes and take the plunge worth every penny. Apricot Blush Size L, I'm a UK 12 to 14

Lively so weightless
🙏💛
Perfect but see through
I have ordered the dress for the summer season , i love the touch the lightness the beautiful prints , there is really no problem but the fact that it is missing a lining which should be a basic thing is just disappointing. Unfortunately i cannot wear it in the city only at the beach , that means i will wear it 1-2x per year . . please consider the lining next time.
Hello Lovely, Thank you so much for reaching out about this! 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! The DOI Team💛🙏✨
Love it
Beautiful as expected, a little see trough but it works for me!
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience! We're grateful for your support.Much Love 💛
Very thin fabric, totally see-through
Good purchase
The dress is really pretty, with a fresh and light fabric
We're thrilled to have made you happy. Thank you for your review! 💕
So lovely and they have such great colors
In love
Totally in love with my new dress!
We're so grateful for your support and thrilled to hear that you're happy with your dress!Much Love 🩵🙏
It’s unbelievable. Beautifully sewn material is so soft.
Almost There
Love the lightness of these dresses, but can't quite find the right size and there is a cost to each exchange.

tunic dress
My height is 170 centimeters, bust B. I planned to wear this dress to the sea, but unfortunately this is not my style of dress. My figure is deteriorating in this dress, there is no silhouette of femininity. I look like a pregnant woman, and for my height it seems to me that I am I borrowed a dress from a child. The fabric is very beautiful, the shade is not as light as in the photo, more of a delicate peach with a pink tint. I would really like you to develop a style with an accentuated waist. For now these are not my dresses

Beautiful colour and style! I’m 5’7” with a long torso and it works. Definitely shorter but great with a pair of nude bike shorts underneath!
Lovely dress but consider your height
I'm 5' tall & mini Kyra hit just below knee (which I hoped for). The dress is very well made. The opening slit at neck is very low due to my height. I will wear tied & with nude colored camisole. In order for dress to look beautifully voluminous & flowy after its travels to Miami I had to iron it carefully - took at least 1/2 hour. I ordered according to bust measurement as instructed by Daughters of India & the size was correct. Suggestion: PETITE SIZES PLEASE!!
Thrilled to hear you had a great experience! Your feedback is a treasure. Thanks for sharing the love and for being a valued member of our customer family.I will pass on your suggestion to our team. Much love! 💛🙏
Kyra Mini Dress
I wanted to love this dress so much. However, it took a very long time to iron it, and then when I put it on, I realized it was see thru. So I now wear as a cover up. Fabric design is so beautiful
Hello lovely, Thank you for your feedback and kind words🧡 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 wearer ~ many of our customers love the light, free feeling of our dresses and choose to wear nude underwear whilst, others may prefer to wear a slip. We find it is truely personal preference. 💕
Absolutely perfect
I could wear it all the time, so weightless and beautiful 😍
💛✨We're thrilled to have met your expectations! Thank you for your kind words! xx
So beautiful and flowy. It is more than I would usually spend…but I’m glad I did. The quality is worth the price. This is about to be a staple item for me. I originally ordered the wrong size. The r return was easy and annoyance free.
My new favorite dress!!
This is not only a beautiful made dress but it is so comfortable! I always receive compliments when I wear it!
Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. Much appreciated! 🧡✨
Perfect summer vibe
What a beautiful dress. It is a bit seethrough, but it doesn't bother me. Perfect summery dress a bit flirty and girly. Love the colour, the feel when wearing it, just blissful.
Hello Lovely ~ We're thrilled to hear that you're happy with your dress! Thank you for taking the time to share the love and your experience.Much Love 🧡✨
Worth the waiting!
It was out of stock for so long ! So when it was back online, I immediately made the order!! I love everything about it ! The color, how it sits on my body ! It is sheer but with with shorts underneath or with a bikini at the beach, it will look good! Of course at home I am wearing only this !
We're delighted to hear that you're happy with your dress! Thank you for choosing us. ✨🧡
My New Favorite Dress
I just wore this dress for the first time last night to a party. I received so many compliments that I came home and ordered the same dress in Sapphire and Pepper. I absolutely love it and can’t wait for more to arrive. Thank you DOI!
Hello Lovely ~ We appreciate your support and are thrilled to hear that you're pleased with your dress! ✨🧡
Beautiful, But Too Short
As always, the dress feels beautiful on, light and floaty and absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately the length is just too short for me. I’m about 168cm tall and usually wear somewhere in the realm of a size 22-26. I ordered the 3XL as I have with my other DOI dresses, and it fits nicely in all aspects except the length, which *barely* covers my nether regions. As a plus sized girl I think I’ll have to stick to the midi and maxi styles :’)For the DOI team: thank you, as always, for another beautiful dress and super prompt shipping. Maybe for the larger sizes a few extra inches on the length would make the dress much more wearable for larger ladies <3
Hello lovely! Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us.💗Due to the nature of how our garments are being crafted each design is constructed by hand individually and through this process there may discrepancies from time to time. Each piece is limited and unique, for this reason 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 💗 Please always feel free to email our girls before placing an order and we can hand measure the garment for you before you place an order to ensure its the perfect fit. Thank you for your love & support xx 🙏
Fell in love instantly
I absolutely adore both of the dresses I bought from DOI. I have the same style of dress in both Olive and Lilac, and every time I wear one, I receive so many compliments. The quality of the fabric, the vibrant colors, and the unique designs of the clothing never fail to impress me. I have a deep appreciation for this company and the positive impact they are making.
Hello Lovely ~ We're so grateful for your support and thrilled to hear that you're pleased with your dresses!Much love,Daughters of India ✨🙏❤️
