Loved the dress but it did not suit me

Yes, I recommend this

Loved the dress it it didn’t suit me as it made my bust look squashed . I am a fairly buxom lady 36gg. Wish I could get it to fit my figure better. I’m sad it didn’t look right

Cotton dress

Yes, I recommend this

The dress is lovely and fits well, the style suits me but, the sleeves! I’m too old for such puffy sleeves! Fortunately I bought the dress in the sale so I’ll pay to have the sleeves altered. Excellent quality and price even before the sale.

Lovely dress

Yes, I recommend this

This is a lovely white pure cotton dress that is cool to wear and definitely not see through. The style is great - dark stitching and drop waist. It can be easy accessorised to dress up or be casual.

Great quality dress

I bought this dress for my holiday in Italy and it is beautifully made in a slightly off-white cotton with black thread which really sets it apart from so many other others.

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely dress got plenty of compliments when wearing it, the similar denim one was nice but the sizing was wrong which I highlighted in my review, these dresses should fit the same because it’s the same style

Worth trying on !

Saw this dress in store a few times before subsequently trying it on. Noticed it had been reduced down to £28 from £40 but not as part of the sale. It’s a really nice dress on but the regular length I tried was too short for me at 5’ 11”. Went to the till and managed to order it in a tall. Really pleased with it and a very good price ! Also got £5 worth of points through the new sparks deals ! 😊
