Slightly generous. Size down if between sizes.
Kangas aivan ihanan tuntuinen iholla ja laadukkaasti tehdyt leikkaukset. Solminta näppärä! Pituus nilkkoihin asti koossa L, olen 166 cm pitkä. Sopii hyvin myös isompirintaiselle. Kankaasta kuultaa vähän läpi, tämä on hyvä huomioida.
Your feedback means the world to us! Thank you for sharing your positive experience.💓
I absolutely love this dress. we moved with my husband's job to Thailand and its a perfect style and fabric to wear in hot tropical climate. the only thing - I have ordered L, but probably could have gotten away with M (I am 12-14 AU). it has some extra fabric in the skirt but I just tie the belt in a special way so that there are some folds. Fabric is thin and it drapes nicely. thinking about buying it in black as well.
Hi Lovely,Thank you for sharing your experience with the Uma Maxi Dress! It's great to hear that it's perfect for the hot tropical climate in Thailand. The fabric and style sound ideal for staying comfortable and stylish. We do offer a detailed size guide on our website which lists the garment measurements and we're always here to help if needed but we're happy to hear you've adjusted the fit with the belt.We hope you keep loving your dress, and happy shopping if you decide to get it in black too!With love,DOI Team
I get endless compliments on this dress - it’s really easy to wear, comfortable and while I’ve sized up to wear through pregnancy and postpartum I think it’ll be fine to wear at my normal size too (maybe a bit floaty). I’m currently 6 months pregnant and wear this dress several times a week! I’m 6ft1 and normally a size 10 but got a medium so I could expand a bit. It’s very gorgeous - highly recommend.
Lovely material as always, although definitely quite sheer so would need a slip or good nude underwear. Unfortunately I am returning mine as it didn't sit right on me. I'm 170cm tall, 66kg and usually a size 10 AU. Following the measurements I ordered a small but the waist sat a bit high up. I think medium may have been better? But the main reason was the way the material fell meant it was a bit too voluminous below the wrap, so sort of puffed out in an unflattering way. Probably great if you were pregnant or don't mind extra volume around mid section. I'll return and try again with another dress!

The elastic around the arms was really loose compared to another dress in the same size with the same style sleeve, and the material is really thin and not lined. Quite an expensive dress. . .

The fabric is comfortable and the sleeve design is cute. I'm 148cm tall and the length of the XS was just right. You'll need to wear something underneath. Love it♡
The fabric is lovely but i feel that the sizing isn't right. I ordered a medium as i am always a 38 in tops and 40 in bottoms but it is very big for me and doesn't give me that feminine feel that i see in the photos. Also, it is supposed to be bf friendly but it really only works that way on the right side. In order to bf with the left side you almost need to remove the whole dress which is a bit of a hassle.

This dress is absolutely stunning and nursing friendly! I bought this for newborn family photos and wore it two weeks postpartum. It is sheer but still high quality fabric so I wore a skin colored slip underneath and it worked well. It feels so feminine and whimsical. I love it! And as a side note, I returned a different DOI dress (that wasn’t nursing friendly) and used my store credit to get this one and the customer service was fabulous!! Very happy with the company and my purchase.
Hi Beautiful! 💞We're grateful for your support and thrilled to hear about your positive experience! Thanks for choosing us and for the awesome review. We appreciate it!Sending our love,Daughters of India xx 🙏
Even more beautiful in person. I am 34/28/36. Size S fits well.
Your happiness is our greatest reward. Thank you for the wonderful review.Much Love 💕
So chic and versatile. Also found it to be breastfeeding friendly. Slightly sheer at the back but easily fixed with nude underwear or slip.
Your support for our brand makes all the difference. Thank you!
Is another lovely dress from DoI, tailoring is excellent. Only slight downside is that material is slightly see-through at back (front overlaps so not see-through). Dress is straight and not as flared as other style dresses.
I used this dress for my maternity photos, and it was perfect. Slightly sheer on the top, but with a nude-colored bathing suit, I couldn't see anything. Usually, an XS, but I went with a small for my growing belly. Could have gone with usual size, and the dress would have fit! Highly recommend this gorgeous dress!
Hello Beautiful,Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We love to hear that our dress played a special role in your maternity photoshoot. It's wonderful to know that the dress provided the perfect balance of style and comfort for such a memorable occasion. If you ever need assistance or have any questions in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all the best on your journey ahead!With love,DOI Team
This dress is simply beautiful. I am 39 weeks pregnant and have been hesitant to take it off. The wrap style allows it to sit perfectly on my bump and i cannot wait to wear it post birth, as yes, it is absolutely feeding friendly too. Adore!
Hello Beautiful! 😍Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. Your words are a true gift. Thanks for being an amazing customer!Sending our love,Daughters of India xxx 💝
I love this dress it is so flattering, wrap dresses are so forgiving for all body types ! Love the texture of the dress. Really like the light weight fabric, it is slightly sheer in the back. The only thing I would add would be a clasp or hook and eye at the bush to provide a bit more security, and would save the fiddling with the neck line.
HI Beautiful,Thank you for sharing your love and feedback with us 🤍We do recognise that these beauties are sheer and have noted this on our website. This was to leave the flexibility of the garment up to our customers so they can choose to wear something under them or not. We recommend using a nude underwear set, or a little slip from your local department store if that would suit you better. It's a personal preference, but, we are certainly taking onboard this feedback and looking into another avenue as far as a slip is concerned to be able to offer another option to our customers. We hope this helps! Much love,The DOI Team💛🙏✨
Dress runs small through chest. I have several dresses size large that fit…this one too small
HI Gorgeous, Thank you for your message. All of our garments have a sizing chart available for you, this is an amazing way to determine which dress will be perfect for you before purchasing 💗 The Kyra Dress is very soft and flowy, however around the bust can be quite fitted. If you are looking for more of a generous fit, we would recommend sizing up. Please go off the measurements around your bust for the best determination for your size Much Love ❤️
Beautiful dress . Fits well and versatile but for the price it needed a lining as it is very see through
Hi Lovely,Thank you for sharing your love of the Uma and feedback with us 💞 Depending on each individual, some may find our garments sheer and this is something we do note on our website. We wanted to leave the flexibility of the garment up to the wearer ~ many of our customers love the light, free feeling our dresses and choose to wear nude underwear whilst, others may prefer to wear a slip. We find it is truely personal preference!We also do have some other styles on our website that are double lined including our newest dress the Sita, the Nora in Mini and Maxi, Jaya Mini & Midi, Diya Mini & Midi, Lopa Dress and our Jasmine Midi & Maxi.Much love xxx
This dress now comes in 3 colours but I'd originally bought the white one. Material is soft & amazing, feels very glamorous to wear. Love the wrap around style, and can be warm by many women, from petite to curvaceous or even pregnant. Very generous in sizing and comfortable. Add some bright accessories to take it from day to night and some healed sandals. Great company knowing it's supporting women in India
Your support means everything to us. Your words are a true gift.Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience. ♥
This dress was bought as a surprise by my mum, for me to wear the day after my wedding. I hadn't considered what I would wear and this was just perfect. It has such a wonderful flow and shape that I didn't want to take it off. I would buy again if multiple colours or prints if available. The quality is outstanding and I know it will last. I adore that I can dress all of my daughters of india dresses up or down depending on the occasion. I love the sheerness of the dress myself, but does need a slip underneath for modesty in certain occasions.
Thank you so much for sharing such a special story with us! 🤍
We're truly honoured that your Uma Maxi Dress ~ White was chosen as the dress you wore the day after your wedding. It means so much to hear how much you loved its beautiful flow, shape and versatility.
Wishing you every happiness, and thank you for being part of the DOI family! 🌼
I adore this dress. I ordered my normal size & im 34weeks pregnant & wore it for my maternity Photoshoot. It fits perfectly & I’ll be able to wear it for many years to come. Beautiful material & I love the sleeves!
Hi Alexa,Thank you so much for your wonderful review 💛 We're so happy to hear that the dress worked perfectly for your maternity photoshoot!Wishing you all the best as you prepare to welcome your little one.With love,Daughters Of India
Beautiful dress and the work into this dress is just stunning. Slightly too big but due to the tie inside and outside the dress, I’ll be keeping this. Cotton is beautiful, soft against your skin.
The fabric on this dress is so soft and luxurious. I could have down sized by one size yet the extra room allows it to flow even more beautifully as well as drape so elegantly. Love this dress along with all the other dresses from Daughters. It makes the dresses even lovelier knowing the wonderful artisans buying them supports.
In dieses cremeweiße Kleid mit seinem klassischen Baumwollstoff mit eingewebten Streifen wickelt man sich hinein und fühlt sich mit den leicht gepufften Ärmeln wunderbar feminin.
We're so happy the dress met your expectations! Thank you for sharing.
I loved my Uma Maxi in black, and had to get in white also. Beautiful fabric, need a slip underneath, but that’s all good. Choice is yours.
We’re delighted that you’re pleased with your dress. Thank you for your review! 🪷
Love this dress. Wish there was a little more room for a deep bust. Maybe I'll grab the size up next and see if that gives more room in the breast.

As with all Daughters of India dresses this dress is perfection! It is such. Flattering cut and the sleeve is divine! The style is perfect for pregnancy, breastfeeding and beyond. The dress is great for casual with a pair of flats but also looks beautiful with heels for a more dressy occasion
I love the Uma dress😍 I think I will wear it like forever. It is so comfortable and feminine, I had to order the black one too. Love the wrap style, the sleeves, the fabric and the pockets! Thank you for the new dresses - great work!❤️
I love this dress! It looks fabulous and fresh ~ looks just as great to the beach as it does out to lunch. It’s is rather sheer but that to me adds to the appeal of the dress. It is so beautiful, cool and light to wear ~ especially for summer in Queensland.
Your positive review made our day! Thanks a million. ❤️
I gave this sweet white dress to my Goddaughter in the last 2 months of her pregnancy in the ""I have nothing to wear, nothing fits"" phase. She put it on straight away and was immediately transformed into a Goddess! She looked stunning and serene, literally glowing. The smile on her face was priceless. We realised it will be perfect for breast feeding too.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful message with us.Your feedback warms our hearts, and has made our day! We hope your Goddaughter enjoys many magical moments in this special piece xx Sending Much Love ✨🤍
I really want to love this dress but in all honesty the sleeves are a bit much. I’ve ended up tucking the frilly bit underneath the rest of the sleeve which works ok, will probably look at getting the sleeves altered slightly.
Its whimsical, comfortable and keeps you cool on even the warmest summer days. Works perfectly over swimwear for a poolside cover up
Thank you for sharing. We're delighted to hear that you had a positive experience with us!
I can't wait to wear this on my upcoming maternity shoot. it is absolutely beautiful, the fabric is very high-quality, and the style and design is perfect! It's great for pregnancy, nursing, and beyond!
Hello Beautiful!Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. Much appreciated!💕Sending love,Daughters of India xx 🙏

Beautiful feminine style dress in all white, very fresh and elegant, light cotton fabric so perfect for hot days, love the billowing sleaves , the attention to detail makes this a very special dress
Your satisfaction is our greatest achievement. Thanks for the glowing review!Sending our love,DOI team xx🙏💝
It fits like a dream! It is see through like the description says so make sure you have a slip to go under. I love the design and the craftsmanship
This is an ethereal goddess dress. We used it for our maternity shoot and it was perfect.
I have sent this dress back as it was a little big for me. The dress itself was stunning.

A dress for any occasion. With a very pleasant and cool fabric for summer days.

Beautiful dress my sister was really happy with her present.
I so wanted this dress to work for me. Unfortunately, I have a decent bust, and the dress didn’t give the coverage I needed. So it went back, looking out for my next DOI dress ♥️🙏
