Celebrating our slow fashion ethos, Nora is an ode to the art of handmade. Beginning with four wood blocks intricately hand-carved to create two traditional floral designs, skilled artisans then use the blocks to slowly and carefully hand print delicate noir hues with a cacao outline upon the softest cotton voile. Tiers of printed fabric have then been gracefully layered and finished with mother-of-pearl buttons from bodice to base, forming this free flowing feminine style lovingly hand-crafted by a small group of women in Jaipur, India.
Due to this style's production process taking several months to create, each Nora mini dress is completely unique and one-of-a-kind and is only available in extremely limited quantities.
100% Cotton. This style features an underlining, covering the bodice to the base of the last tier on the mini length skirt.
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.
At the heart of Daughters of India, we believe supporting women to feel empowered is a key component of a positive future.

ABOUT NORA
OUR PROCESS
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 rosewood blocks and carefully preparing the fabric. Eco-friendly dyes are mixed by hand and stamped in precise alignment, often in layers to build the design.

"I have multiple Nora and Kyra dresses, and I have to say, I love that the Nora has a little bit more length than the Kyra, and also has the elastic around the sleeves. It means I can push them up and keep the sleeves from getting in the way when I'm at work. Probably my fave style."
"I got so many compliments wearing this dress most comfortable and beautiful looking dress"
"The fabric was so soft and the dress was really comfortable to wear. It's the perfect dress for summer."
"Hello, thank you for my Nora Min. The dress is just how I imagined. Although I have a question as to whether it used to have or is missing the tie around the waist to enable it to be drawn in for a more defined waist line?"
"Love it!"
"Love the dress but I don't want anymore."
"The dress is really lovely to wear. Comfortable and really well made. I am not very tall and the mini dress is a perfect length - no need to shorten. Will definitely be buying more in the future."
"I counted the days down until my dress arrived on my birthday. I absolutely love how I feel in it- and I received a free dress as well. It’s the perfect summer dress thank you"
"I love this dress. I now have the Aquamarine and now the black. Love the lining. I am 163cms and fits perfectly as a dress."
"I have 2 Kyra Midi dresses and after much hesitation going back and forth trying to determine what would be the correct size, ordered the Nora Mini (bust sizing is different). I am 4'11"", 115#, and 36D bust; I'm also 78 yrs, so was initially conflicted whether the DOI dresses would look silly on me. I finally ordered Krya Midi in Small and the bust ""just"" fits. I also had to have them shortened by 5"". In the meantime, I kept looking at the Nora Mini and comparing sizing info between the two styles, esp bust size, wondering how it would look on this old lady! Well, let me tell you, I adore it! I ordered in Small, but probably could have gone with an XS. Absolutely perfect and overall better fit than the Kyra. It also just grazes the bottom of my knees, which I wanted. Please, please continue to offer the Nora Mini, but in additional colors and I will buy!!"
