Kyra Mini DressBlack Gauze

Beautiful dress

I am 5’3” and 118 pounds , - 36 chest . I ordered a small not sure if xs would have been ok . The dress is beautiful and , it does have a lot of fabric in the body of the dress which is a bit overwhelming on a smaller person. It comes to my knees, almost a bit below which is nice because I didn’t want it too short . I will order more in prints. Would be great if the showed the dress on different height and size models . I order a lot of clothes online and always find it hard to figure out size even with the size charts as models always tall , and clothes just fit and fall different when you are short .

Go to dress for warm weather

The dress is ideal for hot weather and very relaxed and easy to dress up. Flattering and pretty. You will not want to take it off ever again. Cons: The quality of the fabric is super fragile. It needs extremely careful washing. and the occasional repair. The black fabric is a double weave but still is really transparent so you have to wear something under it. I also have the Kyra mini dress in blue, and even though that one is made from single layer gauze it's not see through and much lighter and cooler to wear. I keep buying these dresses because it is hard to find beautiful clothes for the hot climate I live in and these are exceptionally comfortable but I wish they would last longer than one season.

Ethereal

I purchased the Kyra Midi first and was so disappointed to have to return it because the dress was just too big overall. I decided to exchange it for the Kyra Mini and it’s absolutely perfect! I am 5’6” and its hits just above the knee. Also, I am very buxom and the 3x accommodated me perfectly. I am a curvaceous women and this dress hides all the imperfections I have while still offering a lovely silhouette and definition. It is light and flowy and ethereal! I also must mention how helpful DOI were when I needed to exchange my first dress. I will be buying more of these lovely dresses and will also be spreading the word to all my sisters and friends❤️

Love this dress

Just love this dress, the perfect little black dress for me. The cotton gauze is beautiful. I’m 5 ft 2 and a size 8, I bought the XS by going off the size chart and it’s the perfect fit, just above knee length. This is my second DOI dress, with the first also being a Kyra mini. I now plan on getting a midi in this colour as well. The craftsmanship is excellent.

Wanted to love it

I wanted to love this dress but it was just too much material. I bought two and returned both. I would LOVE to see this same design with a more fitted bodice//less material in the skirt. I love the sleeves and material and pattern, but even my bf took one look and was like “it isn’t doing anything for you”…… so now I’ve got store credit, and not sure how to spend it. Maybe the maxi will work better. Love the ethics of your company and want to wear your dresses if I can find one that works!

I think I’m in love

Have been eyeing these dresses for awhile. My sis bought for her pregnancy and loved how they looked on her. Only issue is she’s quite svelte where I’m a more generous build. I looked up the sizing and decided for XL as I’m a 16 at the top. I ordered Friday morning with express mail, got an update it was dispatched within a couple of hours and now I’ve tried it on by Sunday before lunch. Mind you I’m only an hour away from the factory but still impressed at the promptness. The bust is very fitted(and I don’t have big boobs) so I do wear it above the bust but it’s still gorgeous. I’m 5’7 so it’s a bit shorter at the front with how I wear it but I like how it looks. I know I’ll wear it a lot. It’s a hot day today and I feel fine it in the middle of the day. Now contemplating which block colours to get next. Love your work DOI! I’m converted.

Perfect casual dress

I don’t usually write reviews but I didn’t know what size to order so for those who might want to know:I ordered an XS and it fits great. 34” bust, 27” waist, 37” hip. I’m 5’0” tall, about 125lbs and was worried it would be too tight but it fits perfectly fine. If you’re petite, size down, if you’re busty order off the size chart going off the bust measurement.

Wonderful

Was a little afraid to buy the mini because of the length. I am 163 and don’t want to wear to short at my age. (70) but it’s perfect, I bought the large. (If I buy the midi dress, I take M)

Kyra Mini Dress ~ Black Gauze

Love this dress. I do find the Kyra stylea little low at the neckline which l knew when buying it, so l have just sown it up a little further, no problems and looks great. It is an easy casual wear dress which is see through when the light is behind you- again something I was aware of when buying.

Little Black Dress

I love this little black dress!! It's light weight but not see through and is perfect for warm weather temperatures! It feels so feminine and is just fun to wear! I'm on the shorter side 5'2" and the dress hits just below my knees. It's definitely sold me on the Mini style and I can't wait to buy a few more!!

Beautiful Dress

I’m a size 14 and I ordered the XL but it was to tight across my bust so I exchanged for the XXL. Kristen I’m customer service was super helpful and went above and beyond regarding the exchange so I’d have my dress for Xmas day such a fantastic customer service. The dress is just as I imagined beautiful flowy and soft, I wear a slip under mine or a singlet and bike shorts as it’s a little shorter than my normal, the sleeves are just gorgeous.

So Love This Dress

Well worth waiting for - I was so glad when this little no. came back in stock. I jumped o it straight away. Being only 5ft the Mini is my go to, even the Midi is way too long. Fabric is so soft & the dress hangs beautifully. Looking at using this one for travelling. Dries quickly & no need to press. Plus as it's natural fabric it breathes.

Black gauze kyra mini xs

I love ALL my DOI dresses. I bought this one because I have the white one (my absolute fav) and wanted the same dress but an option that was less see through and a colour I didn’t have to worry so much about staining. I love having this dress in black but I don’t love the cut quite as much as my white one. i got an xs but it seems to be a bit of a bigger cut than my white one and has pockets which my white one didn’t. It’s feminine flowy breezy dreamy and elegant. Throw on. Dress up. Dress down. Can’t go wrong with any DOI dress and this one is no exception!

Lovely dress, great quality

The dress is lovely, light and floaty. I am normally a size 10-12 and initially bought the small. It was a little tight across my chest, so I returned for a larger size. It's the perfect length just above the knees. I bought a black slip to wear underneath as it's a little sheer, perfect!

Lovely dress

Such a lovely dress! I originally bought this in a medium but it was quite tight around the chest. I sent it back and exchanged it for a large and I’m so glad I did. It’s lovely, light and easy to wear. Although it be a little see through when stood in certain lights.

Black gauze mini

I love this dress and get compliments when I wear it. It’s flattering- hides my midsection and upper arms. I also like that it’s a bit longer in the back. It runs true to size as well. I gave it 4 stars only because it’s quite sheer.

My favorite dress!

I’m so in love with this dress and I want to where it everywhere every day! I’m 5’ 5 140lbs and got a large and the size is perfect. Relaxed fit and great length.

Black Kyra mini dress

Beautiful little go anywhere dress, material a little see through. Took one star off as dress arrived with front neck tie broken on one side (just hanging on by the bow). Will need to repair before wearing. Was trying to decide on size between M and L. DOI advised on L size as dress is meant to be loose fitting. Happy with the overall fit, very cute and love the pockets too.

Gorgeous dress. The guaze material is quite different to the other minis that I have. Still cool and flowy. I always go up 2 sizes for the mini to give it a fuller look as they are very short.

Black Kyra Mini Dress

Bought this for my wife and she's quite happy with it. Overall lovely go anywhere little black dress, that can be casual or dressed up for a evening out. Material is a bit sheer and the neck tie was broken on arrival, hence the 4 star rating. Recommend going up a size to get the nice loose fit that compliments the style.

Staple Black Dress

Love all the mini gauze dresses would get every colour if I could. I'm a 14 and purchased the L tried medium was too tight around bust true to size. Thank you DOI for making such feminine and flattering pieces.

Nice but. . .

This dress is nice, but nothing special. I sold it on. The style is great - the Kyra v2 has hit the spot with the new size range. The xs/s in v1 was too small, but the medium too big. The small in v2 is great! Would buy a mini in a print if they weren’t so see through.

Obsessed with Kyra Mini’s

Beautiful, soft, airy dress perfect for growing bump and breastfeeding 😍 I’ve noticed the black Kyra is longer than the printed Kyra mini’s - I have sumac in medium and it is shorter than my black Kyra in size small. Still both really gorgeous dresses though

Love it so much!

The Kyra mini is my favorite dress! I love it so much, I also bought the white one after wearing the black one the first time! I’m 5’9 and the small fit perfectly. The material is soft and flowy- I never want to take it off! Also shipping was super fast. 😊

Almost perfect

Love my new dress, as advertised. Very soft! A good fit, and looks cute on! A little bit see-through, but all good outside of work. I have worn it maybe twice and noticed that the hem is fraying already - which is disappointing, but I should be able to fix it myself.

Beautiful dress

I already have the green midi version of the Kyra which is my favourite and wore endlessly last summer so soft and versatile. Happy to add the mini black Kyra, it's slightly stiffer fabric in black but I love the style, so comfortable and love the short version in winter with leggings and knitwear.

Beautiful Dress

I recently purchased my first order with DOI and am so glad I took the plunge! The dress is light, flowy and super comfortable. I can either dress it up or down, particularly being black which I do like wearing generally. I have also gone on to purchase the same dress in the Rust colour, in 2 sizes larger which makes for a longer dress and also looks great on. Very happy with my purchases so far. Looking forward to receiving my third dress, due any day now!

Beautiful dress

I pursued this beautiful dress for a summer event. The day happened to be the hottest day in Sydney 41• The dress was gorgeous on. Free flowing, airy & extremely comfortable. I loved the fabric. The length was perfect, as Iam 5. 4"", the dress came just above the knees. I we'll definitely be buying another one soon. Thank you 🙏

Beautiful simple dress!

I have a few daughters of India dresses. I love the fabric and feel of this one it’s the perfect throw on and go little black dress. I’m a sz 10-12 and a M is perfect. Not too sure but I will wear black bike shorts underneath when travelling, bike riding etc.

Kyra Mini Dress in black

The dress was pretty. . . but I wish I had ordered the XL as the fit was smaller than expected and was really tight across my lower arms leaving marks. I don't have fat arms, so this maybe is a design issue?Angi

hi there!

I have many DOI mini dresses and love all of them, I would
love to have another inch or two in length. Is that possible? I am 5'-5 and some of my dresses are too short for me

Versatile Easy Wear Dress

Soft and floaty - perfect throw on for autumn, and could warm up with boots and coat, and style with a belt.

perfection!

I’d been looking at this dress for a long time and finally decided to go for it and I’m so glad I did! It’s perfect! The fit and fabric are wonderful and the shipping was super quick! I’m 5’9” and ordered the small. I may never take it off! ☺️

Love the dress but was actually shocked the bottom/skirt area isn’t lined. For the price I expected it to be lined, wearing it at work

Love it!

I love my black Kyra mini! Such a beautiful and comfortable dress :) I originally bought a size too large but it was very easy to exchange for the size down

Great all rounder dress

My first purchase and I am in love! This dress is amazing, so light and airy. I would say it is fairly true to size, good room around the busy area.

It's lovely but not quite what I expected - I think the previous dresses I have purchased from Daughters of India are just slightly different, although I have not yet put them side by side with this new one to work out what the difference is!!!

Black Gauze

Love this as a classic dress, wear anywhere! Great fit I am a size 12 ordered medium.

Love the dress

I love this dress, it is very comfortable but can show a bit to much cleavage if you are bigger chested. This is definitely a staple dress though!

You can't go wrong with this stunner!!

The perfect little black dress is right here! Don't hesitate - you'll wear this Kyra Mini Dress with sandals and sneakers all season! And the cotton fabrication just gets softer & softer!

Kyra mini black

Perfect easy dress out. Size down,Pricey.

Obsessed!

I’m not usually a “dress person” but I recently purchased two Krya Mini Dresses and I love them. They are so lightweight and comfortable, I’ll be living in them this summer! Just be mindful that the material is quite see-through but I’ve just been wearing a slip underneath.

Love it!

Easy purchase, fast delivery. Absolutely gorgeous lightweight fabrics, flattering easy to wear, boho style fit. Perfect for our hot weather in Broome! Have purchased my third dress and can’t wait to get it in the mail. Also love the authenticity and sustainable origins.

8th dress I've bought - they just keep getting better!

I love this dress style so much I've bought it 8 times in different colours for myself and my mother! We both love the light weight feeling of the fabric whether it be linen or cotton fabric, the way it suits both of our very different body figures so well and the range of colours they all come in. If you're umming and arhing about purchasing from here, this is your sign to! You won't be disappointed!

Great Dress

This dress is very well made, fits true to size. I was glad I checked the sizing chart. Sizing varies from US sizing . It took a while to arrive, but I was very happy with the dress.

Great potential but…

I wanted to love this dress but it was just too much material. I bought two and returned both. I would LOVE to see this same design with a more fitted bodice//less material in the skirt. I love the sleeves and material and pattern, but even my bf took one look and was like “it isn’t doing anything for you”…… so now I’ve got store credit, and not sure how to spend it. Maybe the maxi will work better. Love the ethics of your company and want to wear your dresses if I can find one that works!

Breezy perfection!

Easy to throw on and dress up or down. Low cut, flattering, effortlessly cool and so versatile in black gauze. Way cuter than pictured.

Its so comfy , cool , flowy my favourite design. Such beautiful fabric.

Soft and Beautiful

I love this dress! It breaths with you and flows beautifully right out of the suitcase. I felt comfortable and beautiful all day!
