Gorgeous colour

Yes, I recommend this

Beautiful colour light weight material. The chest seems a little large and low cut and the back very low so a bra is difficult to wear

So easy to wear, pretty and versatile. The regular length was perfect on me (5’5”) and sizing was perfect too

Glamorous beach dress

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this in green last year and was fabulous over a bikini for lunch on the beach. Love this colour as more wearable than bright red

Very light summer dress

Yes, I recommend this

Very light summer dress. It is quite see through so would be ok for the beach or if you are not bothered by that. It is very light weight so good for summer days.

Beautiful beach dress

Yes, I recommend this

This is a beautiful beach dress, I noticed a lady wearing last years brown colour while on holiday last year and really liked it. So when I spied this one I had to get it. It looks great on. The material is thin, but then again in a hot climate it will be ideal. Cannot wait to wear it on holiday.

I bought the green version last summer at the sale and I loved the style of it. Therefore, when I saw this year’s raspberry colour, I couldn’t resist. The reason that I took one star off was because I do think that it’s very overpriced for the thin fabric. But, style of dress won me over and I know that I will get lots of wear on holidays in the sun! Have bought the swimsuit in the same colour to wear with it. A bit light for Irish summers!

Not worth the cost

No, I don't recommend this

Very thin poor quality fabric, arrived crumpled and very creased. It made me look larger than I am, a size 10 so I have returned.

Lovely colour but very thin material

No, I don't recommend this

i love the colour and the style, very flattering, but the material is so thin it is see through. Fine for beach wear but it would need a slip underneath if worn out. I have kept it for my holiday but I'm disappointed with the quality of the material.

Lovely light weight holiday dress

Yes, I recommend this

Love the colour, amazing for the summer - fabric is on the thin side, I ordered the orange one too but it was way too see through. The red one was okay with light underwear.
