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 blue hues upon the softest cotton voile.

Hand block printed

The making of Aquamarine

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 wooden blocks and carefully preparing the fabric.

Whimsical & flattering

I absolutely love this dress. It works well as both an effortless sundress and dressed up for special evenings for events. I have worn this dress for two family photoshoots, and it is so versatile that it fit me perfectly during my third trimester when I was pregnant with my first son and I still love it 1. 5 years postpartum.

I loved this dress so much, I purchased it in aquamarine and primrose. It seems like there was a fabric change between aquamarine and primrose, since primrose seems a bit thicker. I preferred the old fabric since it was a tad bit lighter and more flowy than the latter but both dresses are staples in the spring - summer seasons.

Most Beautiful Dresses

Love, love, love these dresses! I bought the Kyra and the Nora Mini dresses and the XS fit me perfectly. Thank you sooooooooo much. I am under 5’ and they both come to the middle of my knee. I do have two “suggestions” for future dresses. The Nora I just love because it is lined with a gauzy slip sewn into the skirt but would also love it to have side pocketsWhile the Kyra I love because it has side pockets but it isn’t linedThese are only suggestions because I love them anyway but if future dresses could be lined AND have pockets that would be ideal!

Daughters of India

Hello Lovely,Your kind words and support, it means the worlds to us!Thank you for taking the time to share your suggestions and feedback.Our Kyra dresses are designed without a slip, as we wanted to leave the flexibility of the garment up to the customer ~ many love the free flowing feeling whilst some may choose to wear a slip if desired. 💗🙏 We find it is truly personal preference.I will certainly pass on your suggestion to our team. Much Love, Daughters of India 💫🩵

Just dreamy….

This is my second DOI purchase (first was a Kyra midi), and while I still adore my first, the Nora mini has become my fav for the summer! I’d been eyeing the Nora in primrose for some time but pink was just not my color, so I did a little happy dance when aquamarine came out:)I was worried about the length but it turned out good, just above the knees (I’m 152cm and bought an XS) so it’s perfect for a walk at the beach…. I feel so airy and free, like I’m not wearing anything. I’ve seen a few complaints with the other dresses concerning how they’re quite thin and see through, but I personally think that’s the appeal of DOI dresses; I wear shorts underneath if I’m in the city or I just slip the dresses over my swimsuit at the beach. Just FYI, the Nora does have lining but it is still quite see through if the light hits from behind you. Thank you DOI for another hit! Will be back for more♡

Nora Redux

This is my second Nora in mini. I’m kinda petite. . only 4’10” so the mini on me is perfect length. It hits beneath my knees. But more than the length I just love the design and how it has more room for the girls. I may be pint size in height but the girls are not. I have Kyra as well but my heart belongs to Nora!!

Daughters of India

Thank you so much for sharing 💕 We love hearing how beautifully the Nora fits you ~ it really is such a special design! So glad she’s won your heart 🤍✨

A bit short

The material and pattern is great, but looking at the model on your page I was expecting the same length but instead arrived quite short, way too short for me. I would need to put trousers or leggings under this dress sadly.
