Yes, I recommend this

Perfect dress for hot days. Really comfortable. It washed well. It comes up big so go down a size or two.

Brilliant summer dress

Yes, I recommend this

Agree with everyone else, this is a great summer dress, especially at the price. Lovely and long. Nice and roomy without billowing and non-sheer cotton, so no-one can see unsightly lumps and bumps! Could possibly have gone down a size but the straps stay up so not a problem. Would be lovely in red and navy.

Cheap but you get what you pay for

No, I don't recommend this

Nice looking dress but the material is such that it sticks to your underwear and makes the dress look strange. The leaves are really pretty but don’t stay in place. It also looks a bit like a sack – not a good buy, contrary to what was reviewed online!

Great, versatile dress.

Yes, I recommend this

Love this dress. Was perfect for a hot holiday & even wore it with a lightweight jumper on the plane. Can be dressed up or down depending on footwear & belts. I personally dressed it up with a nice scarf as a belt & some healed flip flops.

Fab dress - not pockets though

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this dress when the heatwaves started - it’s cool and comfortable and I feel great wearing it. However, I only give 4 stars because it doesn’t have pockets!!

Made of lovely breathable cotton, this dress will be a casual staple in my wardrobe the rest of the summer. You can size down in this dress depending on how flowy you'd like it to be

Frill like wings

Yes, I recommend this

This fits well, hangs nicely - not voluminous like some others. I would prefer flat or ruched shoulder strap (width is lovely to wear a bra without showing). The frills stick up because of the material and I don't think it's a great look. I may get them altered. Overall a great holiday dress, easy to pack, cool. Good for day trip or dress up with jewellery for the evening. Some more colours would be nice.

Trendy summer dress

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely dress I got the petite length it’s a really nice fit. Very light weight with the warm weather. Looks good with Doc Marten sandals as a casual day dress. I also got the brown polka dot.
