Summer to winter
Amazing cut. I reordered the black dress because my first one was a bit ripped, because of the delicate fabric which I loooved. Like a summer breeze on my skin. However the fabric of the new one is muuuuch thicker. Cannot wear in summer. Definitely too hot 🥲
Daughters of India
Thank you for sharing your feedback! 🖤 We’re so glad you love the Kyra’s beautiful cut. The Black Gauze version is still crafted from 100% cotton double-lined gauze. The fabric may feel a little firmer when new, but it should gradually soften with wear and following the recommended garment care. We hope it becomes as lovely and breezy to wear as your first one! 🌿

This is my second Kyra dress in black
And completely differently to the first
Quality and cut - less ( cheaper ) fabric and not as flowy
sadly
Daughters of India
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. 🙏We’re sorry to hear that your second Kyra Black Gauze feels different from your first, particularly in the quality and flow of the fabric.
We’d like to reassure you that the fabric composition for the Kyra Black Gauze has not changed. It is made from 100% cotton double-lined gauze. Cotton gauze is a naturally soft, breathable fabric that can soften further with wear and with the recommended garment care.
We understand, though, that the feel and drape of a new garment can sometimes differ from a well-loved piece, particularly when comparing a newer dress with one that has been worn and washed over time.
If you’d like us to take a closer look at your dress or assist you further, please reach out to our Customer Care team at hello@daughtersofindia.net and we’ll be happy to help. 💗

No pockets!!!
This is my second black Kyra, my 6th Kyra in total. It seems odd to me that some have pockets (a necessity for me), and some don't. I have bought them to dye (since the color selection is pathetic), and have bought them to wear. I love this dress, but won't buy more unless they have pockets. And better colors. I have to find fabric and put pockets in them. It's irritating - and it's such a great dress!
Daughters of India
Thank you for your feedback and for your continued support! 💛
We're delighted to hear that this is your 6th Kyra dress and that you love the style so much.
We understand your comments regarding pockets. To clarify, none of our Kyra Gauze dresses currently include pockets, whereas most of our hand-block printed Kyra dresses now feature pockets as part of a recent design update. We appreciate that pockets are an important feature for many customers, and we're excited to be gradually incorporating them into more of our collections.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and for being such a loyal member of the Daughters of India community. ✨

I am happy with my black dress, but I do not understand why it has to be as expensive as the printed ones??
Daughters of India
Thank you for your feedback. We’re so pleased to hear that you are happy with your black dress. 🤍
While some of our garments may appear simpler in design, each piece is still handcrafted in small batches by our artisan partners using the same thoughtful slow fashion processes, premium natural fabrics, and ethical manufacturing practices as our printed styles. The pricing reflects not only the materials used, but also the craftsmanship, fair wages, and care that go into creating every garment.
We truly appreciate your support and your thoughtful comments.🙏

To Sheer
I have many Daughters of India dresses and over the years the quality of fabric has really gone down hill. The black dress is just to sheer i don't what to have to wear a slip i brought a orange one years ago which was double lined on bust and skirt which they don't do anymore.

I like but only criticism is that it has not got the fullness in the skirt as my floral dress.
Sabine S. · Verified buyer · 26 August 2025
Love it
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.

Lovely dress. No pockets. . 🥺
I love this dress. It’s my second from you but my first had pockets. I actually wore it to a funeral and a tissue pocket would have been very useful. 🥹 I will wear it lots as it’s so light and comfortable.
Daughters of India
Thank you so much for your kind words and suppor!We are gradually introducing pockets into all of our exquisite Block Printed Kyra Dresses in both Mini and Midi lengths. However, as a slow fashion brand committed to preserving traditional craftsmanship, all our pieces are meticulously handmade in India using the ancient art of hand block printing. Therefore, I'm unable to provide a specific timeframe for when pockets will be incorporated into all colour ways.✨Much Love, Daughters of India 💫💛

Kyra Midi Dress ~ Black Gauze
Already had this dress, but because I have pretty much worn it out I got another one. The dress always gets loads of compliments whenever I wear it, to the point where friends have gotten hold of one themselves.

Very easy
This is such an easy dress to throw on. Layers great in the winter as a darker color! My only complaint is that it can collect fuzz, pet hair etc which is visible on the black and since I air dry it, it doesn’t come off in the dryer like normal clothing would so I have to lint roll it. Definitely not a dealbreaker!
Daughters of India
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us ~ enjoy your beautiful dress. 💫💛

I love these dresses (& have several) but the prices are increasing which is a shame as they are just simple cotton dresses

Lovely dress
The dress itself is absolutely gorgeous. I'm just bummed that I bought it two weeks ago and now it's on sale 🤥 I'm also annoyed to be living in Norway, cause I have to pay 60$ to get it shipped here. It's an insane extra amount of money when you already pay over 300$ for an order.
Daughters of India
Hello Emma,Thank you so much for your kind words about the dress. We're thrilled you love it! We completely understand your frustration about the timing of the sale, and your concerns about the costs associated with shipping, duties, and taxes. At the moment, we conduct our quality control in Australia to ensure that each piece meets our high standards before it reaches our customers. This is why we currently ship from Australia. However, we are continuously exploring ways to make our products more accessible and affordable while maintaining our commitment to fair trade and quality. We hope to offer direct shipping from India in the future to help reduce these costs.Thank you again for your feedback and understanding. We look forward to the possibility of serving you in a more cost-effective way soon. With gratitude, Daughters of India 💫💛

Terrible cut but felt lovely
Was so disappointed with this dress…Fabric is gorgeous but the way it’s cut across the chest makes you look about 5 sizes bigger. I’m a size 10/12 and it made me look morbidly obese…The way it’s cut, this dress will realistically only look good on a rail thin frame, like all the models they use. . . unless you’re ok with looking VERY tubby. After reading other reviews it seems to be a common opinion. I replaced it with a ‘jasmine sea mist’ dress that has a more flattering fit around the chest and dyed it black although the stitching wouldn’t dye so I really don’t think it’s ‘100% cotton’. . . (I have lots of experience with dying clothes) They don’t refund, only store credit so purchase with that in mind because there is only ONE black dress. Everything else is bright colours so if that’s not your thing, you’re screwed.
