The making of Emerald
Our fabrics are dyed by hand in small batches using dyes, allowing colour to develop slowly and evenly. Deeper shades may pass through multiple dye baths, while lighter tones are carefully controlled to maintain softness and consistency.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy you love it 💛

Nice dress.
Lovely colour. Excellent value for the price as I got it on sale. I wouldn’t have paid full price for that quality. I love your dresses and have purchased previously.

Beautiful Flowy Dress
Beautiful light dress perfect for summer. My only comment is the sleeves are very tight - I don't have big arms and struggle with how tight they are. I love the colour and material though.

Love this dress, the colour is a beautiful shade of green and the cotton fabric is so light and easy to wear. I have added some embroidery stitching to the hem to make it my own.

I really love this dress
I have this dress in both the green and blue and I love both for their simple elegance. Please make in more colours, perhaps a rusty red/orange colour would look good!

Very comfortable
I bought this dress expecting to have to shorten the length. At ~5 feet in height, size small just brushes the floor. The fabric is soft and breezy.

Great spring/summer dress
Love this spring/summer dress. I have received compliments when wearing it. It’s not lined so you may need to wear a slip. Fabrics is soft and flows nicely.

Sahana gown emerald
The dress is nice and fits ok but the material is soooooo thin it’s see through ! I’m not actually sure what I’m going to wear underneath it. Disappointed as I’ve purchased another dress through you guys and the material was much thicker.
Daughters of India
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We're sorry to hear that the beautiful Sahana Gown did not meet your expectations. 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 customer ~ many love the free flowing feeling whilst some may choose to wear a slip if desired. 💗🙏 We do have a collection of lined dresses: The Jasmine Dresses in Sea Mist, Lavender and Shell, Nora Maxi & Mini in Noir + Primrose, and our Lalika Dress in Clove✨💛

Love this dress
I love the airiness of this dress. This is, I think, my favorite of the three colors I have. It's a comfortable, pretty dress. Though the elastic of the sleeves is a bit snug, I'm sure it will loosen as I wear it more. All in all, I love this dress!
Daughters of India
Hearing about your positive experience brightens our day! Thank you for sharing.
Lauren · Verified buyer · 5 June 2024
It’s pretty on the model, but hard to style and unflattering in real life. It arrived in good condition and I will keep trying to style it as this brand is so lovely and their dresses last a long time.

Fits me like a dream - for reference I am 5'6" 180 lbs muscular/curvy and got the size medium!

Beautiful dress
Overall, I love this dress! The color matches my cool undertones. The cotton wrinkles in a beautiful way! Pockets are great ;) The fit is flattering. I only wish the dress came with an optional waist tie. Since the dress is very long, I will have it tailored and use the fabric to make one. I am usually between Small and Medium. I ordered a M because I anticipated the sleeves to be tight. I an glad I did :)
Daughters of India
Hi Lovely ~ Thank you for your message and your kind words about our dress!I will pass on your suggestion to our team. Much love! 💛
Erika · Verified buyer · 13 May 2024
beautiful color and fabric!
I was doubtful if it would fit cause the biggest size left was M. Im glad I took the risk cause it fitted perfectly. I normally buy L or XL. Love the color, fabric and cut!! I love how versatile it is, wore it at home as well for dinners!

Love this dress! Super light weight and oh so soft. Easily my new go-to dress. Only downsides are the elastic in the sleeves are a little tight, and, as many other reviews noted, the pockets are oddly high on the waist. If I were to wear a belt with this dress, the pockets would be under the belt.

Sahana Gown
I bought the Emerald and it’s a beautiful slightly grey green. Like my other Daughters of India dresses it’s going to be worn to death. It seems a little smaller than my other DofI dresses in small, but still fits.

Love the design and the pockets. Very airy but too long so I had to have it altered. Quite sheer too if exposed to light. Great for dress up or down.

Soft and light to wear
Nice dress, was expecting slightly thicker material , but good for Qld heat so will get lots of wear from it . Looks nice loose and with a belt . good length, I used the measure guide and chose a Small but i think Medium might have been better on the top normal size 10 . Purchased on sale .

This dress is beautiful, and it even has pockets. Unfortunately I did not like where they hit on me or the bulk they added to my frame.

Samantha · Verified buyer · 7 December 2023
First time buying from DOI and I reeeallly love this dress! I always research companies a lot before I buy from them, so I did expect the dress to be pretty sheer from other's reviews. Their garments are very soft, gauzy, and lightweight--perfect for warm/hot weather and easy to layer! I wear biker shorts under my dress and there is no issue. You can also wear a slip. I personally do not mind sheer dresses. My only complaint about this dress is that the pockets are sewn weirdly high. I can still get my hands in them comfortably enough, but I have to lift them kind of high, and it doesn't feel like a natural placement to my body. If the pockets were lower, the dress would be perfect. I have seen some reviews complain that their dress ripped easily--I am not sure if that was just those specific dresses, bc I wore mine nannying all day and had a 32lbs baby swinging, clawing into and hanging off of it, and it did not rip. Bought my next dress already!

Emerald beauty
Love this simple beauty! I am so pleased to get this discontinued gown before it is no longer available. The tiered shape makes it feminine and the solid color with no pattern keeps it nice and simple. A great piece to add to my collection. And the soft emerald green color is beautiful! Thank you Daughters of India!
Sandra D. · Verified buyer · 25 October 2023
Sahana Emerald
I love the dress but as I am short, I need to have it cut to suit my size. Just a suggestion, maybe you can make short and long versions of your dresses similar to petite sizes. That way shorter women can buy the dress without any additional expense of alterations. In my case, I am having a scarf made out of the left over fabric as the material is too nice to throw away. Overall happy with the dress.
