As seen on you

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 jaal and buti 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.

Lovely

First I ordered a size XL, fits great but was more midi than maxi. Otherwise I ordered the Primrose in 3XL because there were no other sizes in stock and I want it so bad and it is a great floating oversized fit. So I send the Aquamarin back and changed size in 3XL. The customer Service saved me a dress in 134cm length- thanks a lot! I love it. It is my 4th dress from DOI. I wear a German 44/46, have the Noras in 3XL and the Kyras in XL. Works great, they are gorgeous!

Light as air!

The lightest, prettiest, comfiest dress I've ever owned. I wear it constantly and wash in the machine on delicate. It says hand wash but I don't have time for that. So far no damage to the fabric and it dries in a few minutes hanging inside or in the sun. So easy! I am going to buy another as soon as my size is available again. I'm 6ft tall and the maxi comes to my mid-calf. Perfect!

SO FEMININE

This dress is so soft, flowy, light, and dreamy. Fits beautiful, I can go XS in this (smaller size) as it is roomy for small busts. The colours are soft and dewy, I'd say a very light dusky blue, not so much aquamarine, more like a Wedgewood. Already has lining but I tend to always use a slip too. Looks good belted as well, awesome under a long denim coat dress and boots.

Words can not express how this dress will make you feel - it is unexpectedly super soft and light and allows air to circulate around you to keep you feeling cool. It falls and moves beautifully and is incredibly feminine. It's ruined me for all other clothes as I never want to wear anything else! Stepping away from the romance of the dress, here's the logistics - I'm a 5ft 3, large boobed big bum near 50yr old female. I was a tad concerned that my. . . endowments. . . would ruin the elegant fall of the dress. But the dress seems to glide all around them quite nicely without bringing attention to them. This is a great dress. I'm going to buy a lot more!

Not good for larger breasts and taller girls

Not suitable for girls with larger breasts. the design is such that the line on the dress stops not under your breasts, but right on them. and even if you have a slim figure and waist, all this will not be noticeable, since the dress falls from your high chest down and you look like a barrel. in addition, the dress is quite short, the model in the photo is short, the dress does not reach the ankle. if you are taller than 160 cm, the dress on you will be more of a midi than a maxi. So adding a belt is also not an option for taller girls otherwise the dress will jump up about you knee level. It is still beautiful, but not as you expect, looking at the photo.
