It's lovely but not quite what I expected - I think the previous dresses I have purchased from Daughters of India are just slightly different, although I have not yet put them side by side with this new one to work out what the difference is!!!
Daughters of India
Thank you Maria! Your Kyra Mini Dress ~ Black Gauze is made using a cotton gauze material, rather than cotton voile, which may be the different you have noticed. If you have any questions, you are very welcome to contact us and we'll be happy to help. With love, Daughters of India team x

hi there!
I have many DOI mini dresses and love all of them, I would
love to have another inch or two in length. Is that possible? I am 5'-5 and some of my dresses are too short for me

Almost perfect
Love my new dress, as advertised. Very soft! A good fit, and looks cute on! A little bit see-through, but all good outside of work. I have worn it maybe twice and noticed that the hem is fraying already - which is disappointing, but I should be able to fix it myself.
Daughters of India
Hi Ally,Thank you so much for your lovely review - we're thrilled you love the dress and that it fits well and feels great on!We're sorry to hear about the fraying at the hem - that's not what we hoped for, but we really appreciate your understanding. Since the fabric is quite delicate, we always recommend hand washing in cold water and hang drying to help maintain their quality over time.Thanks again for your support and feedback.If you need further support with your order, please feel free to reach out to us at hello@daughtersofindia.net Much Love, Daughters of India 💫

Best dress best customer care
I've wanted this dress for so long, but my size was always sold out. I decided to try a size I thought might fit, but unfortunately it was too big. The Daughter of India representative was kind enough to let me exchange it for the correct size. When I finally received the dress in the right size, I couldn't have been happier. it's everything I hoped for and more. Coupled with the excellent customer care, I couldn't ask for a better experience.
Daughters of India
Hi Lissel,Thank you for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that you found your perfect size and that the dress is everything you had hoped for. It's truly wonderful knowing our beautiful team could support you along the way, and we're so grateful for your thoughtful feedback. 💗🙏 May your dress bring you joy for many seasons to come✨Much Love, Daughters of India

Wonderful
Was a little afraid to buy the mini because of the length. I am 163 and don’t want to wear to short at my age. (70) but it’s perfect, I bought the large. (If I buy the midi dress, I take M)
Daughters of India
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're so happy to hear the Mini worked perfectly for you!It's wonderful you found the length to be just right! We're sure the Midi will look amazing on you as well.✨Wishing you a beautiful day! 💖

Lovely dress
Just not the right dress style or fit for me. I have worn and purchased another style of your clothing and wear it a lot. I am very disappointed that you only offer a store credit for returns instead of a refund. So once I have used the voucher I will never purchase from here again.

Beautiful dress
I already have the green midi version of the Kyra which is my favourite and wore endlessly last summer so soft and versatile. Happy to add the mini black Kyra, it's slightly stiffer fabric in black but I love the style, so comfortable and love the short version in winter with leggings and knitwear.
Daughters of India
We appreciate your kind words. Enjoy your beautiful new piece!
Regiane S. · Verified buyer · 8 January 2025
easy and great summer dress
Great! for a noight out or a lunch but you will need to wear something underneath.
Jess · Verified buyer · 8 January 2025
Gorgeous dress. The guaze material is quite different to the other minis that I have. Still cool and flowy. I always go up 2 sizes for the mini to give it a fuller look as they are very short.

Lovely dress. Gauze Fabric slightly heavier than the other printed fabric. But still great.

Beautifully made, but soooo see through in the skirted areas.

Hi Lovely! Thank you for your comment 🧡 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!

Great all rounder dress
My first purchase and I am in love! This dress is amazing, so light and airy. I would say it is fairly true to size, good room around the busy area.

Kyra Mini Dress ~ Black Gauze
Love this dress. I do find the Kyra stylea little low at the neckline which l knew when buying it, so l have just sown it up a little further, no problems and looks great. It is an easy casual wear dress which is see through when the light is behind you- again something I was aware of when buying.
Daughters of India
Thank you for celebrating slow fashion with us. Enjoy your beautiful dress! 💓

Added to my collection
I recently added the black gauze, Kyra mini dress to my Daughters of India collection. I wear these for everything, sometimes even to bed. They’re comfortable, pretty and versatile. I’m a fan.

Beautiful Dress
I recently purchased my first order with DOI and am so glad I took the plunge! The dress is light, flowy and super comfortable. I can either dress it up or down, particularly being black which I do like wearing generally. I have also gone on to purchase the same dress in the Rust colour, in 2 sizes larger which makes for a longer dress and also looks great on. Very happy with my purchases so far. Looking forward to receiving my third dress, due any day now!

The dress is very nice. I wear it with and without jeans. Are there going to be any black Friday sales going on with your dresses? I don’t see much on sale on your site. ☹️

Love the dress
I love this dress, it is very comfortable but can show a bit to much cleavage if you are bigger chested. This is definitely a staple dress though!
