The Daughters of India signature Kyra design in soft colours of Cumin. This everyday mini dress features romantic billowing sleeves and optional front tie detailing with a full bodied skirt free of underlining, making it one of our most comfortable styles due to the heavenly-soft lightness of the material. Our signature floral pattern feels uplifting and vibrant on this maternity and breast feeding friendly design. A classic mini dress you will want in every colour! Shine your light in Cumin.

Material

100% Cotton. Depending on each individual, some find the material sheer. A slip may be worn underneath if desired.

Garment Care

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.

100% Cotton Voile

Soft and airy, very light weight with a gentle, flowing feel. Semi-sheer with a fine, soft hand feel.

HAND BLOCK PRINTED IN INDIA

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. The fabric is then washed, dried, and quality-checked, resulting in textiles that celebrate sustainability, human rhythm, and individual artistry.

Empowering women

At the heart of Daughters of India, we believe supporting women to feel empowered is a key component of a positive future.

We have pledged an ongoing monthly donation of $10,000 to support our charity partnerships Sewing the Seeds and Saheli Women.

Sewing the seeds


Sewing the Seeds is a women’s empowerment initiative that uses education and creativity in slow fashion to help break the cycle of poverty for Indian women. Their centre offers training in business, finance, and women’s health, fostering self-confidence in a supportive environment.
 
We have committed to a monthly donation of $5,000 to support their impactful work.

Saheli Women

We’re working with Saheli women to launch Saheli Kapas, a Cotton Project, to support and empower female farmers at the root of the supply chain. Saheli Women believe true fashion starts with the Earth and the women who nurture and farm it.


The pilot begins with five women and their farms, providing them with training, direct income, and ongoing support. By offering access to quality seeds and low-water sustainable practices, we aim to uplift communities while honouring Mother Earth.

We have committed to a monthly donation of $5,000 to support their impactful work.

Reviews

pretty colour

"I got the kyra in this colour because it's a nice neutral that it super versatile. The only downside (with this style), is that the fabric is really fine, meaning I really have to wear a slip under it or it really is see through. Being that I live in the tropics, wearing a full second slip layer can be make or break as to wearing the Kyra dress in the hotter months. Would be amazing if you could add a second thin cotton layer to the skirt lining of the kyra dress, the same way you do for the Nora dresses."

Jess (4/5)

Kinda Short, Very Lovely

"I love everything about my dresses-mini's-but they are SO short. Bought size xs (I am a size 4 and 5'6) and maybe should have purchased a size S just to get more length. I was due to travel abroad and knew it would be very warm. Dresses were perfection EXCEPT FOR THE LENGTH. . I could not wear as I would be exposing a whole lot. I even brought "bike shorts" but just not adding to the dress for the cities I was visiting. I did try to get the second dress coming to me to halt for a size S but bc it was a sale item they were not to be exchanged. Saving for more appropriate venue and will definitely purchase the Midi length next time. Fabric, print, cut-all gorgeous. Great for travel as they are light and easy to pack and wash by hand."

"Lovely dress, thin cotton material suitable for my hot and humid country."

Betty L. (5/5)

Lovely Dress

"Love my dress. I made a mistake when ordering which the team kindly sorted for me. It arrived quickly and was great to wear on holiday. I would say it’s true to size. Great customer service and I am so pleased I bought it."

Sharron (5/5)

Perfect!

"I love the mini! It’s the perfect length for me and I’m currently pregnant so it’s super comfortable and practical"

Ellen K. (5/5)

I love this dress

"Absolutely love this dress. Such a lovely floaty material - for it’s first outing I wore it to a festival with black DM type boots - the wasps also really liked me that day, so much so that one must have flown up the skirt. . I kept feeling something on me, little did I know it was inside the dress wandering around for a good 10 minutes… finally spotted inside the sleeve. Was ready to strip naked but luckily waspy flew out quite calmly and no harm done. Nothing to do with the dress but just a funny story. Careful of the wasps!!"

Olivia (5/5)

Needs lining

"Loove the fit and style of this dress but for the price you pay, it definitely should be lined or made with a thicker fabric as it’s basically sheer in the skirt area."

Lauren (4/5)

Im absolutely in love

"Im absolutely in love with this dress and cant wait to order another DOI dress. Its light weight but not see through. Perfection."

Amy (5/5)

Beautiful pattern. Good craftsmanship.

"Beautiful pattern. Good craftsmanship. Beautifully made by hands of beautiful women. Thank you."

Shannon (5/5)

A beautiful product !

"I love the delicate translucent cotton. The cotton is carefully printed with gorgeous colors . With so much gathered fabric it isn’t see through. I feel so elegant in these dresses. I definitely will recommend them. I love that this company is made up of women. However, with duties and tax most of my friends cannot afford these stunning dresses. I loved them so much I had to save up and get one! I would love to buy more in the future. Thanks for all you do."
