The Ria Mini Dress has been ethically handcrafted with 100% cotton into the most comfortably soft, billowing silhouette. Featuring an adjustable gathering at the neckline with a tie, pockets, and cuffs to finish the delightfully large sleeves. Adorned with hand printed florals, the making of this dress serves to support the preservation of hand craftsmanship and women empowerment in India.

Product Details
  • Neckline: Scooped neck with adjustable front-tie detailing.
  • Sleeves: Signature romantic, billowed sleeves.
  • Pockets: Convenient hidden side pockets.
  • Oversized fit:  If you prefer a more fitted style, we recommend sizing down.
  • Material: 100% Cotton. For the most accurate colour representation, please view the ghosted image.
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 Cambric

Smooth and crisp, light weight with a gentle, airy feel. Medium weight cotton.

DISCHARGE BLOCK PRINTED IN INDIA

Discharge printing begins by dyeing the fabric before a special paste is hand block printed onto the surface. Fine corn flour is dusted over the fabric to guide precise placement, with the process requiring warm conditions to react correctly.

The fabric is then dried and steam-cured, releasing colour from the printed areas. After washing and finishing, the design emerges as a soft, breathable print that feels seamlessly part of the fabric.

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.

This is my dream dress.

"This is my dream dress. Love love love"

Marianne G. (5/5)

Ria Mini Dress

"Love this dress. Perfect sizing, fabric is of high quality cotton and the colour ruby red is beautiful. With the billowing sleeves and gorgeous neckline this dress gets so many compliments."

Jane L. (5/5)

Love this dress

"Dress runs a little short - I recently purchased a medium in the blue. . felt a little short, so I got the large and it was still roughly the same length, or at least felt like it. For size reference - I am 5'4"" 175 lbs, 10 months postpartum - fitting in size 12 jeans USA size. fabric quality and print is just perfect - I wanted to get a shirt and pant set in this design, but the price point directed me to purchase the dress. Overall, I highly recommend if you are looking for a summer dress, vacation dress, beach dress - etc - it's truly perfect"

Morgan B. (5/5)

Love the dress- with a few caveats

"Overall experience with Daughters of India is always lovely. Their shipping is prompt and the garment is beautiful. The colour as seen in the images though, is far more 'fire engine' red than the dress itself, which I would say is more of a terracotta red- still beautiful though. Being an hourglass, size 18-20 AUS, I bought a 3XL which flows perfectly over my hips but in the scaling up of size, the neck and shoulders are huge. So much so that it's almost an 'off the shoulder' style. I'm getting this altered with a third party because I love the dress so much but to all the 3XL girlies, you have been informed. I look forward to wearing this dress as the weather warms up."

Amanda (4/5)

Gorgeous Ria Dress

"I absolutely love this Ria mini dress, it’s light and airy in a beautiful brick red colour, perfect for the wonderful summer we have been having. It will be a much loved wardrobe staple. Thank you Daughters Of India 🥰"

Ali (5/5)

Ria

"Beautiful dress. Flowy and comfortable. Love it!!"

Tia (5/5)

I love this piece

"I cannot tell you how much I love daughters of india designs, this piece being one of them. It’s airy and flowy and I love the cut."

Arielle N. (5/5)

I love it!

"It's such a beautiful summer dress! Feminine, flowy and I love the adjustable drawstring around the neckline. The red is so lovely, especially for Christmas! The sleeves were slightly longer for me but looks great when rolled up. It's now one of my favourites!"

Lisa T. (5/5)

Love but too short

"I want to love this. Beautiful print and style but very very short for me (170cm). Seems only a fraction longer than the Ria blouse. Would buy again if they were at least 10cm longer."

Koren J. (3/5)

Love

"Love the dress soft floaty and cool"
