uncomfortable buttons under arms!

No, I don't recommend this

Style of dress is nice, fabric is nice but a row a heavy, chunky buttons under the arm is really odd, and makes dress uncomfortable

Dress ready for next summer

Yes, I recommend this

Smart navy dress but too long for me. Although a midi it was almost a maxi on me as i am 5' 2." I will definitely shorten it to wear next summer. The fabric is a mix of linen and viscose so it should not crease as much as pure linen. The style will not date as it is a classic staple in any girls wardrobe. Have not washed it as i am going to alter the length.

Disappointed

No, I don't recommend this

My dress had a white mark on the front,but the reason for my return was that the side buttons did not lie flat.The overall fit was good.

Lovely, and great value

Yes, I recommend this

Although I will probably not get to wear it until next summer I'm glad I bought it. The relaxed style could suit anything from poolside to a hot day at work. Only slight issue is that I had to move top buttons to stop the armholes gaping- probably not an issue for the smaller busted.

Nice idea, wrong fit

No, I don't recommend this

Loved the idea of this,simple dress so was very disappointed with the fit. I ordered a size 8, the smallest available. The dress fitted reasonably well on the hips but was not right at all above that so it looked baggy in places.

A lovely cool and stylish summer dress

Yes, I recommend this

This ticked every box and was one of several dresses bought at the same time. The only issue was that it was bigger than the other dresses of the same size, so I ordered one in a size smaller. Otherwise, delighted with the purchase.

order 3 sizes smaller!

No, I don't recommend this

I ordered a size 10, even though I have a 38" bust. It was way too big. The dress sat very oddly under my armpits, in folds and the buttons made it uncomfortable there. I returned it.

Lovely dress - size down

Yes, I recommend this

This is a classic shaped dress that can be dressed up for evening or dressed down for day wear. I went down a size as recommended by other reviews. This will be a new summer holiday staple.

Useful summer dress

Enough cover to be useful for any outing; particularly in navy. It doesn't have metal side buttons as advertised, but I am rather glad about that!

This is a smart summer dress which can be dressed up if wished. The style is lovely and material is linen but it does not crease as much as is usual - a bonus!

Comfortable dress

Yes, I recommend this

I purchased this as I have a 25+ year old dress pure linen dress in a similar style that I absolutely love. This is okay. I like the tortoiseshell type buttons (I’d have changed shiny metal ones), but I was a bit concerned about the rather odd dipping hem. Partner says it looks alright on so I’ll keep it.

It looked great but

No, I don't recommend this

I was excited to receive this as I love the look of it and I love navy but this is very dark, I was disappointed. I ordered a 12 and I am a big 14 and the fit on the body was good. The armholes are a bit baggy but I could have fixed that but why I didn’t keep it was the deadness of the dress. There is something very flat and dead with the fabric possibly too dark so sadly it is going back. What a shame as it looked so promising.

Lovely dress

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this dress on reading the reviews. I’m quite large in the bust. After reading a review they the dress is big at the top I was able to get the next size down whoop whoop and it was perfect. My new favourite dress light and very comfortable. Can be dressed up or down.
