Perfect Summer Dress!

Yes, I recommend this

I love this dress because the material is breathable, the shape is flattering, and the pattern and color are perfect for summer. I wore it on holiday but found it to be too large in the waist. I came home and immediately ordered it again but two sizes smaller than my normal size. Because it's a-lined the bottom is very loose, but if you're pear-shaped/hourglass shaped, you might need to size down one or two sizes. The top is very stretchy so do take that into account with sizing.

Lovely summer dress

Yes, I recommend this

As soon as I saw this dress I knew it would be perfect for my upcoming holiday. I particularly like the v shaped bodice, it is a very flattering shape. I had to wait quite a while for my size to become available & never saw it in store. I am 5ft 2 & ordered a short length but it is fairly long & comes to my ankles. Still lovely & can’t wait to wear it!

Lovely dress!

Yes, I recommend this

I ordered my usual size but had to downsize as it was far too big even though I read all previous reviews. The top is stretchy anyway so after downsizing I kept the dress as it feels really good on the waist as I found a few similar dresses felt too high waisted so I had to return them. I am looking forward to wearing it when the sun returns!

Fabulous summer dress.

Yes, I recommend this

Fabulous summer dress, it has pockets too!!!! I am 5’7 and a size 8/10. I bought a size 10 to avoid it clinging and showing all the lumps and bumps. It fits perfectly, a definite keeper.
