Lovely fit!

Yes, I recommend this

Initially wasn’t sure about the colour but in real life it’s a lovely chocolate brown. The fit is very flattering and have been complimented every time I wear this dress. Material feels light and airy great in hot weather - more colour please!!

Beautiful dress

Very classy. Material is very soft and not inclined to crease. The shade of brown is gorgeous and goes well with gold coloured accessories. The folds are flattering.

Good quality and colour

I didnt buy the dress for a specific occasion, but it fits nice and is a lovely dress to wear. The material is soft and clingy and gives a nice shape to the body.

So comfortable

Yes, I recommend this

Versatile dress, nice colour, good weight, perfect midi length on (5’5’). Dress up or down. For me, cut of top/arms needs a strapless bra. Normally a 14-16 and 14 is perfect.

What a beautiful dress

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this dress for a golf function. I felt so comfortable in it. It hid all my lumps and bumps. I am only 5ft and ordered a 12’s petite. I can highly recommend this dress

Comfy, flattering, dress down, dress up.

Yes, I recommend this

Comfy and easy to wear. The drop waist panel in the front and back gives a long flattering line. I am a size 12 but the 10 was a better fit around the arms. I tried the tall version but the body length was the same as regular - only the hem length was longer. Dress up or down. Watch out the fabric pulls easily.

Beautiful dress made from fluid material.

Yes, I recommend this

The dress material is lovely and fluid moving as you walk. The weight of the material is slightly heavier than cotton but I will be able to wear it in the autumn with a jumper over it or with a cardigan.

Highly recommended!

Yes, I recommend this

Gorgeous flattering fit - this didn’t look great in the hanger but is gorgeous in. I was worried when arrived about what looked thick marking across the mid section but a quick steam sorted this out. Drapes beautifully and is so light to wear in the hot weather highly recommended
