Without a doubt this has got to be one of the best purchases of my life to date. What started out as a rather grim wardrobe filler (needed a dress for a funeral that also allows breastfeeding - #MULTITASKING) has become my go to, ride or die, makes me feel 10000%, absolute drop dead gorgeous bombshell of a dress. I cannot recommend it more highly. It would be amazing whilst pregnant (there is a considerable amount of fabric that would give space for a belly - and I carry giants), is brilliant for breastfeeding, and makes my husband consider how to add more bedrooms onto our house (IYKYK). Do yourself a favour, buy the dress. I would suggest don't size up necessarily, I have to do that in the Kyra to swing BFing but not necessary in this cut - it is TTS/slightly generous because of the wrap. DOI you did it again!
Oh, we absolutely LOVE this review! 😍 Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We’re thrilled that your Uma Maxi in Black has become such a beloved wardrobe staple and makes you feel absolutely incredible! We love a dress that does it all and makes you feel like a queen along the way. Sending you so much love! 🖤✨
Dress is beautiful, very light weight on also. Great for summer to dress up or down.
Thank you for your lovely review! Its lightweight feel makes it such a versatile piece for summer, whether you’re dressing it up or keeping things casual. We hope you enjoy wearing it for many occasions to come! ✨🖤
This was my second purchase of the Uma Dress in black. I previously bought an XL , my usual size in DOI. It fits perfectly but is a little low in the neckline and exposes a bit of bra, so I wear it with a slip. I wanted to see if a larger size would correct this so ordered the 2XL. The larger dress was too big, so didn't give me that lovely silhouette and the neckline issue was the same. I have subsequently returned it. Despite the neckline situation, I just love this dress. I have several other styles in DOI dresses, but this one is my absolute favourite. So stylish, so flattering, such soft fabric and so beautiful to wear, a truly exceptional dress. Just love it. I always receive compliments when I wear it and it makes me feel fabulous. It is the ultimate throw on and go dress. Instantly mood uplifting and suitable for everything from beach wear to a restaurant date. Gorgeous in the colder months with cowboy boots and a denim jacket. I am probably going to use my credit to buy the white one! Sustainable, ethical fashion at it's very best. Thanks DOI!
Thank you so much for such a beautiful and thoughtful review! 🖤 ✨We’re delighted to hear how much you love your Uma Maxi Dress and how fabulous it makes you feel. We love your styling ideas too — cowboy boots and a denim jacket sound like the perfect combination!

I love this dress so much. The cotton is so soft and high quality. The fit is feminine and flattering. One of my all time favorite dresses. Hopefully it comes back in stock so I can buy the white and clay one!
I love this dress. The material is soft and the cut is so flattering. Always a quick delivery.

Really nice dress, elegant and flowy, Im very happy with my purchase 😊

I am very happy with my purchase, every dress that I have purchased from this company has been beautiful.
This is one of my most favourite dresses of all time ! Breatheable, classic and beautifully made
Knowing you're happy with your dress makes our day. Thank you!
I bought a Black in M. I am a size US8( on the lean side). The dress fits well in the bodice with the right amount of give. ( not too tight, not too snug). I had been hesitant in ordering this due to sizing but I think I am glad, I didn’t size down. The dress has the right length( sits well above the ankles, I am 165cm tall). Yet to wear in on an occasion but seems like a good choice for a float casual black dress:). Very happy with the purchase. PS this is my 4th DOI dress:) Love them all!!
Thanks so much for sharing your love! Your continued support truly means the world to us. Much Love ❤️ Daughters Of India✨
The clothing is lovely and well-made. However, they are voluminous. I ordered two dresses and found them too bulky for me. After learning returns are not allowed, I found two pieces that were very nice to replace the dresses sent back. However, I would certainly have liked a chance to return the original pieces.

My favourite DOI dress!The fabric is gorgeous and the fit is perfect! l am obsessed. I need all of the colours
It’s great to hear you’re happy with the fit and style. Thank you! 🪷
The dress was lovely but it just didn’t suit my daughter when she tried it on. So we returned it and I bought something for myself which is perfect! I am very pleased with how easy and efficient it was to return it. Thank you for being so professional!
We’re delighted that you’re pleased with your dress. Thank you for your review! 🪷
I'm so impressed by the fit and quality of the garment. It's such a flattering style with the v-neckline and puff sleeve combination, and you can't beat a dress with pockets! X

Love the simplicity, style and fit. Just perfect!
Love this dress! it’s giving shape and comfort- I love that I can dress up & dress down plenty of wear Always first thing I pack when traveling
Your feedback is invaluable ✨ Enjoy your beautiful dress 💝
This is hands down my favourite DOI dress so far. The style is so flattering and the texture and sleeves add so much to the dress. It has a tie on the inside as well so you don't need to worry about windy days. I'm a size 8 and went the xs. Perfect fit and love that the elastic in the sleeves is so soft and not tight.
It’s fantastic to hear you love the look and feel. Thanks for the review! 🥳💕
Love the look and quality.
Thank you so much for your review! We're thrilled to hear you love your dress.
This is a beautiful wrap around dress. A little low in the cleavage for me, so a cami fixes that. A truly gorgeous dress.
Your review warms our hearts. Thank you for celebrating slow fashion! Enjoy your new piece! 👯♀
Only tried this dress on but it is absolutely me, love it and know it will be a favourite once I wear it fir that special first occasion, makes me feel fabulous. Love how you have incorporated pockets (yea!) and first wrap dress that sits perfectly and gives shape at same time. Perfect. Thank you. 🙏

I returned dress no. 1 as it was a bit snug and really didn’t suit me. The company were really helpful with the return process. I thought this style would suit me better. It does but it’s too big. I’m not paying another postage to return to Australia as there is nothing I want to exchange it for and a refund is not an option. Lovely company, great product just not for me.

The little video of the gorgeous customer dancing up & down the stairs sold this dress for me! Thank you. It is such a gorgeous dress that can be dressed up or down. Very flattering.
Your feedback is a treasure.💃Thank you for choosing us and sharing the love!Much Love ✨❤️
I felt incredible wearing this dress! Love that it's a true wrap dress and I was able to make it as form fitting and as low cut as I preferred depending on how tight I tied it! A true wardrobe staple!
We're so grateful for your positive feedback. It means the world to us.✨
I debated about purchasing this dress bc of the cost but when it arrived I was so pleased. It is gorgeous and so so beautiful on. I wore it once and before I knew it, there was a rip in the skirt part. I have no idea where it came from. The fabric is thinner in some areas so perhaps more vulnerable. I was so sad and surprised to see it. I will still wear it but bummed about the rip.

Stunning, I feel like a goddess in this dress it’s light a beautiful elegant spilt. The sleeves are feminine and the waist band is a perfect complement bringing it all back in so it’s not to bulky. Dress up with boots or heals down with converse or slip on

Love this dress for the larger Lady very flattering shape but not enough material in the top had to wear a tank top underneath still love the dress though
Thank you for your feedback and kind words.Much appreciated!
Love it !
Thank you for sharing the love!
This dress is very pretty and can be dressed up or down. I normally wear a large but had to return for an X large because it didn't cover my chest. Even with the larger size I still need a camisole which probably would not be an issue on a small breasted woman. Still love the dress and fabric.
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience! We're grateful for your support.💛

This is a beautiful dress, which I haven't been able to wear yet. I need to carve out time to hand wash and lay it down to dry. I wish the company would give the dresses a wash before selling. Smells a bit funny.

We appreciate your support and are thrilled to hear that you're pleased with your dress! 🥰
I love you this dress. At 5'1, the length is just right, and the pockets are a great bonus. My only complaint is that the neckline is a bit low - I need a camisole underneath so it's modest. Overall, I'm very happy with this dress and always get compliments when I wear it!
