Cool cotton comfort!

Yes, I recommend this

Beautiful cotton dress, just right for this hot weather. There's enough material to allow air flow to keep you cool. It's a lovely chocolate colour with big spots, (not polka dots), so looks stylish, rather than possibly old fashioned.

Relaxed dress for a beach day

Great dress for a beach days. Runs big, so go size down. I took one star off, as I wish it was a bit more flowing material - would have looked better

Shapeless and unflattering

I bought this dress in the black as well. They may look lovely on someone slim, but on a size 16 they looked shapeless and very unflattering. Returned both colours.

Beautiful and comfortable

Yes, I recommend this

Had a good wear of this during the holiday, and it's so comfortable yet beautiful. I bought the black and brown, and they wash well. I spray with anti-crease after washing, so no need to iron

Ideal dress for heatwave

Yes, I recommend this

I have really struggled with the heatwave and wanted something cool and floaty. Found it with this. Not the most exciting dress I own but very practical in the heat. The cotton is a nice quality and a good length. ( I am 5’6” and it reaches just abo event ankle bone). I like the brown with large white polka dots. I originally bought a size 16 but it was huge so changed it for a 14. Still lots of room and I could possibly wear a 12. The heatwave continues so this dress gets worn a lot and is very comfortable

Expanding dress

No, I don't recommend this

I was happy with this dress when I first wore it, though as previous reviews have said, it was a bit big for the size. However, the top part stretched within a couple of hours, and again when I washed it, so it is now unwearable. I would return it if I still could!

Summer evenings with a glass of cold white wine

The shirring on the shoulders is actually wider than shown on the Website. Will take a bit of getting used to wearing
