"I am happy with my black dress, but I do not understand why it has to be as expensive as the printed ones??"
With the softest silhouette and beautiful classic hue, our Kyra Midi Dress in Black 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 in a staple colour to effortlessly dress up or relax in as elevated 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.

"I am happy with my black dress, but I do not understand why it has to be as expensive as the printed ones??"
"It’s so soft and flowy! I definitely want to buy more from DOI in the future"
"Dress is perfect!"
"I have a few Daughter of India dresses. I love them all. But this one is the one I throw on for everything. So easy to dress up or down. So versatile, I just love it."
"Gorgeous dress but sent back as it was too big. I will, at some point, purchase another style but I can’t decide on the colour!"
"Ordered the XS and it fits perfectly! (63. 5" tall, 119lb) This is my 4th DOI dress!"
"Unfortunately I had to return as I purchased the wrong size."
"I have waited so long for this dress to come back into stock and it was worth the wait. Absolutely fabulous. Beautiful fabric, floaty, lovely fit, very flattering. UK size 12, brought the large and it is loose and glorious . Perfect"
"i haver 2 Kyria midi dress, i wear the white one in (French) summer, for an effortless put together look, i love the fabric, the way the sleeve are softly falling in place. the black one is my "joker" , i put it ON my yoga tights, after yoga practice, to not walk around almost naked ,-)))"
"The fabric of the kyra in black gauze is thicker and a bit heavier than the regular cotton kyras (which I also love). It‘s very soft and feels really nice. Fall is coming here in Switzerland, and to me color and fabric are perfect to (also) wear in cooler seasons. I like that it has a classic look."
