"Love it. The colour is gorgeous"
With the softest silhouette and beautiful natural hue, our Kyra Maxi Dress in Lilac has been crafted for comfortable, everyday wear. Capturing the very essence of femininity through its maternity and breast-feeding friendly design, Kyra features romantic billowing sleeves and an optional front tie to compliment its flowing style. A timeless and versatile shape with in the sweetest colour to effortlessly dress up or relax in as casual wear.
100% cotton double lined gauze. Depending on personal preference, some may find the material slightly sheer. If desired, a slip can be worn underneath for added coverage.
After washing, this garment will take on a beautiful cheesecloth effect. We recommend a gentle, cold water hand wash using natural detergents, and hang drying in the shade. Handcrafted garments are delicate, however, designed to last when treated mindfully with love and care.
Lovingly handmade in India, each piece may vary slightly in colour — a natural part of its unique beauty.

"Love it. The colour is gorgeous"
"Beautiful dress. Superb quality and felt so comfortable and elegant. Lots of compliments. Intend to buy many any item from DOI. Thank you to all of your team. X"
"こちらの、ガーゼのライラックが、ずっと気になっていて、やっと、先々月、フクシアと一緒に、購入出来ました。こちらは、思ったより厚手でしたが、秋口にぴったりで、外出時には、毎回、着ています。ストレスもなくて、本当に重宝しています。又、着心地も良いですが、何と言っても、色です!着る度に、女性らしい色を纏えて、とても、幸せな気持ちになります。素敵なドレスを本当にどうもありがとうございました!"
"Very beautiful and comfortable dress, very feminine and elegant as well. A little long for my waist but I will do something. In Corsica, I wear it all indian summer long."
"The Lilac Kyra is very pretty and cool. It is light, but not at all see-through, (important as I can't be double layering in the summer heat). In fact, the dress is sturdier than it looks. It is also well cut. I ordered the XL and am usually an AU 16, though my bust can push me to wearing larger sizes, my shoulders are comparatively narrow. The dress fit well across the shoulders, but the seam hits mid bust unlike on the models. However, it still looks fine to me given the voluminous fabric and cool baggy style. Would love to see this in an indigo blue or mint green with pattern. I appreciate the covered arms, but they are loose enough for free movement too. Given the quality I expect to have this a while. Well done! A really great online shopping experience."
"I was so happy to reveive my new Lilac Dress. This is moré than beautiful ! : the color itself is so pretty. The dress itself, the fabric, are incredibly beautiful ! This is my fourth dress and I love them all ! 😍‼️😂"

"Although my dress was delayed the communication was excellent and the dress was so worth waiting for. I put it on straightaway. The shape, fit and fabric is perfect. Cool and floaty. I love it and hope to buy more when I can ."
"Incredible I have the lilac maxi and every time I wear it I get compliments. It's so beautifully made and the material incredible soft. I would definitely purchase more from this brand!"
