Great dress

Yes, I recommend this

I love the Dress, the material is amazing. I have a white dress in same material. It goes anywhere. It’s lightweight in the heat too. It packs a dream for holidays. Unfortunately I need a smaller size. Only because the armholes are too low. It’s very unforgiving with sizes so try either side. Just waiting for my size to come into stock 🤞

Lovely dress

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this dress to attend a funeral. Hottest day of the year and it kept me remarkably cool. I chose petite and length was perfect for a 5’4” . Slightly stretchy so fits well. Very pleased with my purchase.

What a find

Yes, I recommend this

I am delighted with this dress. The textured material has a gentle stretch which gives a flattering fit. The low back is a lovely feature. I ordered petite and it's a perfect length. A great dress for any occasion. Would love this in other colours too.

What a bargain

This dress is amazing. Stretchy, not clingy. Can be worn with scoop at the front. I was surprised it worked with my curvy shape. I would definitely buy in another colour.

Lovely black dress was surprised how nice it is as hard to see in pictures. Just a shame it came inside out surely whoever packed it could have soared the time to make sure was in the right way

I saw a lady trying this on in the changing room, which was lucky as I’d walked straight past it. I ordered it in petite and it’s a great fit and I love the shape. I’ve bought it for my holidays as will pack well

Sooo much better than the website shows !

Yes, I recommend this

A great dress. I wasn't sure at first as the photos on the website aren't brilliant but it truly is a lovely dress. Perfect to be dressed up or down, really nice sleeve length and you can even wear it back to front if you prefer a lower cut at the front. Washes well too. Quite a slim fit through the waste so if you want a looser fit, size up

Not proportionate

This was too long in the upper body and it flared out on the hips in a very strange way. Another case of a petite dress just made shorter rather than proportionate. I liked the back scoop, it came right down to the bra line but I don’t think it was supposed to.

Great summer holiday dress

Yes, I recommend this

Comfortable and non-restrictive. Looks smart as well. Easy" to pack and non-creasing - what's not to love. I'm 5' 3" and ordered the short version - to be honest I think I'd prefer the standard length as it's a little short (on knee) and not as long as shown on the model. Lovely dress though and good price
