The making of Black

Our fabrics are dyed by hand in small batches using dyes, allowing colour to develop slowly and evenly. Deeper shades may pass through multiple dye baths, while lighter tones are carefully controlled to maintain softness and consistency.

Lovely Basic Black Dress

Perfect for warm weather, and will look great with a sweater and boots on colder days.
I also appreciate the armholes- haha! They're cut perfectly because they don’t dig in or ride up into my armpits, yet they’re not going to give anyone a peek either.
Love the pockets as well and the silhouette. I wear a size 4 or 6, and the small is perfect.

Daughters of India

We’re so happy to hear how much you’re loving your Nadi Dress! We love that you’ve found the armholes to be just right — comfortable, easy to wear, and with just the right amount of coverage!

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely feedback and your sizing experience. We hope you enjoy wearing and styling your Nadi through every season! 💛

This is a nice dress with the buttons in the back. But if you have a midsize to large chest, I can almost guarantee that you won’t be able to wear this with buttons in the front. I even sized up and still the buttons have a gap, there is just simply not enough give in the material to be worn in both configurations. I think it’s a cute idea to market this as reversible, but execution just didn’t work out. It’s a very simple dress otherwise so I personally don’t think it’s worth the price.

Daughters of India

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. 💛 We’re sorry to hear the Nadi Dress didn’t work as you had hoped, particularly when worn with the buttons at the front.
We understand that fit can vary depending on bust size, and we appreciate you highlighting the gap between the button placements even after sizing up. We’ll absolutely pass this feedback on to our design team, as it’s valuable for us to understand how the reversible design works across different body shapes.

We’re glad you otherwise found the dress nice, and we’re sorry it didn’t feel like the right value for you. 🌼

I love my new Nadi in black! She is easy to dress up or wear for a casual day of errands. I have a 41" bust and the XL fits perfectly. I am 5'3" and the skirt falls to my ankles. She is perfectly opaque, no need for a slip or shorts underneath. I am so happy I got her!

Nice neutral basic

A sweet dress for all occasions. I’m 161cm 55kg with a small chest and I went size small. Glad I didn’t go xs as it’s narrower under the arms than expected.

Daughters of India

Thank you Lauren! We're so glad you love your Nadi Dress xx

Daughters of India
