Hand block printing is a traditional artisan technique that uses hand-carved wooden blocks to print fabric by hand. Rooted in Indian craft traditions, the process is slow and highly skilled, beginning with carving wooden blocks and carefully preparing the fabric.

Slightly generous. Size down if between sizes.
I grabbed this dress and the colour is so beautiful. Style is great too. I do love all my Daughters of India clothes. I’m getting quite a collection of them now
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 💛 It means the world to us that your Daughters of India collection keeps growing! 🙏
This is my fourth Daughters of India dress and third in this silhouette. I get so many compliments on this style, and it makes me feel powerful in a lovely, feminine way— this style of the dress commands attention. Tip: I wear flesh-tone bike shorts under all my Daughters of India dresses because the fabric is thin. The dress itself is very comfortable. However, let it be known that the Apricot Blush color is indeed a cantaloupe-colored, almost sherbet-orange— not a muted, shell/blush pink as depicted on the model. It’s not bad, it’s just not accurately represented in my opinion, even accounting for the handmade nature of this dress. I probably would not have ordered this color if I knew it was more “Apricot (orange)” than “Blush (pink). ” It’s still nice, but it’s not what I originally wanted— a delicate pink. The color has grown on me, and I plan to keep it. However, I think this Cantaloupe/Apricot color isn’t as versatile and wouldn’t suit some people. Hope this helps. Still a loyal customer!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review, and for being such a loyal part of our DOI family! 💕
We love hearing how confident and beautiful the Kyra silhouette makes you feel. We also appreciate your honest feedback about the Apricot Blush colour and understand you were hoping for a softer pink shade. We’re so glad the colour has grown on you, and thank you for continuing to support us! 🌸
I returned this dress. The skirt felt too full and unflattering.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. 💛 We’re sorry to hear the full, flowing skirt of the Kyra Midi wasn’t quite right for you. We understand that the silhouette isn’t everyone’s preference.
If you’d like to discuss an alternative design that may be better suited to your preferences, please reach out to our Customer Care team at hello@daughtersofindia.net. We’d be happy to help! 🌼
I bought my first Kyra dress as a maxi size which I loved and wear it all the time. I bought my second Kyra in this apricot blush color but the midi size - and for some reason I look completely frumpy in this cut. Not sure if it was the cut or color or both but I returned it and will not be getting another midi dress, will stick to the maxi size moving forward.
Thank you for sharing your experience! 💗 We’re so glad to hear you love your Kyra Maxi and wear it so often. We’re sorry the Midi in Apricot Blush wasn’t quite right for you, but it’s wonderful that you’ve found that the Maxi length works best for you. 🌼
Soooo gorgeous! Perfect for the summer weather! And ethically positive! A win win!
Thank you for your beautiful review Linda! We are extremely grateful for your support. 💕
So effortlessly beautiful!
Thank you! We're so happy to hear how much you love your new Kyra Midi Dress ~ Apricot Blush dress!🌸
Beautiful light and swishy dress in a gorgeous colour. Absolutely stunning and it feels si special to wear it.
Thank you so much for your beautiful review! 💛 It means so much to know that wearing your DOI piece feels special — each garment is thoughtfully handcrafted to bring a little joy and beauty to your wardrobe. 🌼
Lovely dress, the quality is fantastic. I do wish it had a slip or something underneath as it is a bit more see through than I would like.
Thank you so much for your review! 🧡 We're delighted to hear you love the Kyra Midi Dress ~ Apricot Blush and appreciate your kind words about the quality.
As our dresses are handcrafted from lightweight cotton, some of our styles are intentionally designed with a soft, breathable, and airy feel, which can mean they have a more delicate or slightly sheer appearance, especially in lighter colours. Many customers choose to pair these styles with a slip or nude undergarments for additional coverage depending on their preference.
We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy your beautiful dress! 🌼
Love the color and print. Needs a slip underneath because it is sheer. Comfortable and cute.
Thank you for your lovely review! 🧡
We're so happy to hear you love the colour and print and find the dress comfortable and cute. We appreciate your helpful feedback regarding the sheerness, and hope you enjoy wearing your beautiful piece for years to come. ✨
Wore this dress for the first time at Diocletian’s Palace in Split, Croatia & it just felt special 😊 The style is versatile & comfy enough to go from sight seeing to a fancy restaurant!
Thank you for your wonderful review! 🌸
We're delighted to hear that your Kyra Midi Dress ~ Apricot Blush accompanied you on such a special day at Diocletian’s Palace. What a beautiful setting to wear it in!
It's lovely to know that you found the dress both comfortable and versatile enough to take you from sightseeing to a fancy restaurant with ease. That's exactly the kind of effortless versatility we hope our pieces provide.
Thank you for sharing this special memory with us, and we hope your dress joins you on many more adventures to come! ✨
This dress feels so feminine, soft, and effortlessly beautiful. The fabric is incredibly light and breathable, which makes it perfect for the hot and humid weather here in the Philippines. Even while walking around the city, I still felt comfortable and fresh all day.
The soft peach color gives such a calm and pleasant feeling — elegant without trying too hard. I also noticed how people would look and compliment the dress because it flows so beautifully and has such a graceful presence when worn. Definitely one of those pieces that makes you feel both comfortable and confidently feminine at the same time.
Thank you so much for your review, and sharing your beautiful photo! 💕
Love the color and love the quality of this company. Fits great and I feel nice wearing it.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re so glad you’re happy with your dress! 🤗
Beautiful, light yet lush dress which is like a soft hug to wear. It’s great on a hot day as it somehow feels cooling , what with its flowy lightness. I am happy DOI now creates dresses that fit my size, since I have very large breasts. Discovering this recently has been a major gamechanger in my ‘relationship’ to this brand and I have purchased a lot of dresses almost at once, after I found out that sizes have improved for me in many of the styles. . . but especially the Kyra dress. ( and the Jasmine style)This and the other dresses from DOU are my favourite sort of clothes and I feel like wearing it every day. 💛🧡
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy you love it 💛
The fabric is very pretty and great for the heat, but completely see through. It’s a pretty dress, but cut for a smaller frame and was flattening and unflattering across the chest. I expect it has been made with modesty in mind. I am 5ft 9, slim European 10/12. The sleeves are perfectly voluminous, but the cuff is tiny which makes it hard to wear. I don’t have huge arms, but had to remake the cuffs. I felt the pattern cutting could be better as this dress could be a lot more flattering considering how much fabric is in it. I however, do not think I am their target size. Probably good for tiny, skinny people at the beach or fine to wear at home when it’s hot.

I haven’t worn it yet. I’m looking forward to wearing it on my daughter’s birthday which is next month. I own several dresses so I added it to my collection. It is a great addition to my dresses. I like how the dress is very lightweight and I will style it with boots and a waistcoat. Looking forward to shopping again in the future!Thank you
Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad the dress is a lovely addition to your collection and hope it makes your daughter's birthday extra special. 💛✨
I love the cut, how it flows and the colour is stunning!
Your review warms our hearts.💗 Thank you for celebrating slow fashion.
Es ist perfekt, ich liebe es , danke
The dress was so nice but unfortunately I had to return it. It was far too big. What I did not realise it came from Australia and had to pay nearly 30 pounds to return it. They do not have a free return, on top of that they only issue credit note, so I have to buy something else and hope it fits. Will be reluctant to use their service again.
I purchase the Kyra dress in white gauze. Loved it, so I ordered the same size in the peach. Way too large. . . gave it to a friend that loves it. Be nice if sizing was more accurate. Peace
Hi Nancy,Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear you loved the Kyra dress in white gauze - but we're truly sorry to hear the apricot blush version didn't fit as expected.While we aim for consistency across all colours and fabrics, slight variations can sometimes occur due to the nature of different materials. Your input is incredibly helpful, and we'll be sure to pass it along to our production team as we're always working to improve accuracy and consistency in sizing.We're glad your friend is enjoying the dress, and we hope we can help you find the perfect fit next time.If you ever need sizing advice or support before placing an order, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer service at hello@daughtersofindia.net with your measurements and styles you are interested in and we will be more than happy to assist you there. 💞Much Love,Daughters of India Team 💫🤍
Response and customer service is refreshingly good. However!!! If you are not happy with your dress the return postage is £22. Also you don't give refunds which is unheard of in the UK. I have ended up paying around £200 for a dress I don't really like and will never wear. I'm sorry but this does not function for the UK.
Hello Sue,Thank you so much for your kind words and support. We truly appreciate your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you're disappointed with the shipping costs. We hear you. 💗Please know that we actually offer a subsidised rate for our UK orders as shipping costs are genuinely far more costly than the amount that we offer.If you need further assistance with your order or have any concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at hello@daughtersofindia.net.

Ich liebe das Kleid! Die Qualität ist sehr gut und das Kleid trägt sich einfach wunderbar!
You wear our dress with such grace — thank you for sharing your radiance and for you support . 💞
Beautiful dress with a nice drape. The smell of the packaging was a little strong,but hanging in the closet a couple of days took care of it.
Beautiful! I love it 🤍
😍
PERFECT !
🙏
This company provides excellent workmanship and beautiful fabrics!
The workmanship is excellent and the fabrics are colorful and cool!
I really like this dress, especially how flowy it is. However, the quality is comparable to items that can be found online at much lower price points. At this price point, I was expecting a higher quality garment.
Great, love it!
We're so glad you found something you love. Thank you for your review! ❤️
Wore it for the first time last night. I like the flow of it. The dress fit very nicely. I now need to purchase a slip to wear underneath it.
We're so pleased to hear you like the flow of the dress and how nice it fits. Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words. 🧡
Although the dress is very pretty indeed the high waist sits right on my bust line and does not hang well at all . It is such a pity. The second one which I bought in blue and the maxi length is perfect and I am thrilled with it .

Just received my strawberries cream top and pants. OMG so in love with them. Nice addition to my 3 gorgeous dresses. 😍
I have had nothing but compliments for my flown dress. It is so comfortable and pretty that anyone would love wearing it. It was sent quickly, and the quality was excellent. Probably I will buy a few more.
I adore this dress, I bought a size M for some extra volume but it really wasn't necessary. I kind of regret not buying it in XS size, since I bought the Kyra in XS and fits perfectly, but I love it either way!
I ordered this dress to wear to a party during a wedding weekend in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and it was perfect, dressy enough for the party, but nice and cool and floaty. I received many compliments, and look forward to wearing it again!
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us ~it truly means the world 💕
I wasn't over the moon with this dress so i returned it for a credit. The colour was a bit too pale for me
Same as photo. . . liked so much, şadies with curved body can buy 1 size larger.
Thank you for the fast delivery (within 4 days to Europe)! I like the dress, in abricot it looks lovely, the fabric seems pretty (still wet) and the quality is fine. But as other Reviews said, the dress seems to me very big in l. When I washed it with mild bio detergents, a smell like Mineral oil appeared, even after a second washing. I hope the odour disappears and the dress can be fitted with a few stitches.
Amazing dress , light texture and color.
I wanted to buy this dress for the longest time but with that price really wish that you could consider adding a slip underneath so that we don't need to add extra piece, especially when summer is hot and people would love to just wear one piece of clothing. Thank you.
I wore this dress on Easter at a country club. I received more compliments. It is beautiful. Highly recommended
I'm absolutely in love with DOI dresses! They're incredibly soft, comfortable, and make me feel so feminine every time I wear them. I especially appreciate that this particular dress has pockets-such a practical and thoughtful touch! My previous Kyra midi dresses didn't have them, so this is a wonderful addition that makes a big difference.
Hi Rie,Thank you for reaching out and sharing your wonderful feedback with us. Your continued support truly means the world. Yes it is a great addition having the pockets, and we aim to eventually have pockets in all of our block printed Kyra dresses! We are thrilled that you are happy with your purchases. 🤗With love, Daughters Of India
Ik ben heel blij met mijn prachtig kleedje. Fantastische stof, mooie kleurent en fijn afgewerkt. Tevens een leuk gevoel dat het door dames in India is gemaakt. PROFICIAT!! 👌👌
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us ~it truly means the world 💕
I have 4 o the Daughters of India and enjoy wearing all of them. They are soft, easy to maintain, great to wear around the house - look dressed but are very comfy,
Thank you for sharing your love 💗 Your continued support truly means the world to us xxMuch Love, Daughters Of India 💕
The dress was great until I washed it. Some colour washed out and it is difficult to iron.
Hello lovely, thank you for reaching out about this 🙏💛 The cotton fabric is very delicate and requires extra love and care. We recommend a cold, gentle hand wash, using natural detergents and hang drying in the shade. Please avoid machine washing & drying to protect the delicate fabric of your pieces. Xx
Beautiful dresses, well-crafted, a delight to wear. I would love to see you create cotton - full or half slips - to be worn underneath the midi/maxi dresses, as they are quite sheer. ❤️
Your feedback is invaluable. Thank you for supporting sustainable fashion! 🙏 I will pass on your suggestion to our team. Much love Daughters of India 💛
Beautiful fabric, beautiful dress!I would like the bottom part not to be seen through but that can be fixed with an under dress. Still feel like a queen with it! Thank you! Cant wait to order another one in the future
Its a very beautiful dress, l am very happy about. And l am very interested in everything you do and produce over there. Thanks a lot

I originally ordered this dress in black but it was too small. I returned it and got a credit and waited for 2 months for a larger black one. I gave up waiting last week and ordered a different colour. I'm still hoping the black dress becomes available again and I'm waiting for an email update on that. The apricot blush colour that I bought arrived very quickly and I'm over the moon with it. It's absolutely beautiful and feels luxurious to wear. I would definitely size up in this style. I'm just hoping the black one will be available again soon. I had the opportunity to buy 2 and get one for free but unless the black one becomes available I'll probably miss out on that deal. Highly recommend this beautiful dress!
Hi Beautiful! Thank you for your kind words, and recent purchase with us.✨ As a slow fashion brand, all of our garments are handmade in India by our valued artisans. We restock our pieces one at a time and this is something that can take time and patience. All our dresses are on order however, we are unable to determine exact restock dates. To be the first to know when the black Kyra dress in your size returns, please select the 'notify me when available' option on the product page.Much love, Daughters of India 🧡
I just received my first order from DOI and while the dress itself is gorgeous and well made, I was a little disappointed with the fit through the bodice. I ordered my usual size L but the waist seam ended up hitting my bust in a very unflattering way, I think I'll be able to make it work with some strategically placed boob tape but I'd definitely recommend triple checking your measurements and sizing up if you're looking for something low maintenance.
