Better than expected

Yes, I recommend this

I purchased the same dress in brown but was put off this one as I wasn’t sure of the colour. But in real life it’s slightly darker and fits so well. I’m 5ft 6 and it’s a maxi on me, sized down, normally I’m an 18 but the 16 fitted fine.

Elegant Dress

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this dress online having no idea at all as to how it would fit. I am not disappointed as it really is a beautiful elegant dress. The fabric is perfect for the design allowing it to fall and drape so well. I agree with some of the comments in that the dress is long but this can easily be rectified. I love the design, fabric and style.

Great summer dress

Looking forward to wearing this lovely dress. At 5'8" and usually 12/14, I kept the size 10. The larger sizes had too much material and veered towards looking a little frumpy. The smaller size was perfect, with the waist raised slightly higher, giving a much more flattering line. This works well for me as I'm quite flat chested. Bought in the brown - gorgeous colour. Roll on the summer!!

Beautiful summer dress!

Yes, I recommend this

Gorgeous colour dress but does come up on the large side. Ordered my usual size and had to return for smaller size. It is very long but then it is a maxi dress, so will wear with heeled sandals, but can also wear with flats. Looking forwards to wearing it in the summer.

Scratchy.

Did not like the material at all, it’s that scratchy material that actually just makes you feel hot, rather than cool. The design of the dress itself is nice, but returned as I knew I wouldn’t wear it.

Really lovely - dress up or dress down

Yes, I recommend this

I bought both the green and brown dresses. As other reviewers have said, I did have to size down one size. I am 5' 4" and the regular is the perfect length for me and down to just above the ground which is a length I prefer. I don't know whether they will crease much, but the material feels very soft and the waistband is perfect so that you can draw tighter or looser (after lunch). I bought the green one first and liked it so much I got the brown as well. Even better that they were in a Sparks deal with 20% off.

Go for it. You won’t be disappointed.

Yes, I recommend this

This dress is absolutely gorgeous. I wouldn’t normally wear a long dress, but I’m sold on it. I’m 5ft 3in and was desperately trying to get the petite in my size, but no luck. I’ve bought the regular and it’s fine, even with a flat sandal. Come on summer holiday.
