Beautiful dress

I bought this thinking that it would be a good dress for every day wear. It is very flattering and drapes well. The length is good on my 5ft 9in frame, sitting between midcalf and ankle. I almost returned it as I feel it is too dressy for everyday wear, but it is such a lovely dress that I've decided to keep it. I'll just have to persuade my husband to take me out more often!

Flattering fit

Yes, I recommend this

I quite like this dress, it fits well and is flattering. I would say that it is good for work but a bit boring for a night out

Pretty dress

Yes, I recommend this

Nice summery dress, fabric is light and floaty, fully lined and well made. This is a very nice dress, unfortunately a bit tight for me so it has been returned.

Very Stylish

Yes, I recommend this

Really easy dress to throw on, lots of compliments and the petite length was a good fit for my 5’2 height. The armholes were a bit gappy at the front so needed a little adjustment but worth it!

Pretty dress

Yes, I recommend this

The dress fits very well and I have received compliments wearing it. The only downside is the material which doesn’t “breathe” in the hot weather

Smart summer dress

Yes, I recommend this

Interesting and flattering shape with dropped waist and draped front. I went up a size as I didn’t want the lining to cling . The arm holes were large in both sizes , but a dart rectified this . I’m 5ft 6 and it falls to a nice midi length on me .
