Nice for summer

Yes, I recommend this

Slightly long for my height (5 foot 5) so looks different on me to the picture on the website. Neck is a little high too so slightly tight. But still a lovely dress and cool for summer. Looks good with gold sandals.

So much better on, than on the rail.

Yes, I recommend this

I looked at this dress many times and dismissed it, I didn't think it would suit me. I finally gave in and I am so glad that I did. It is one of the nicest dresses I've bought. I love that brown has made a comeback this year. The dress fits beautifully, drapes well and looks lovely on. I had to buy the tall length as regular is out of stock, which is a shame, but I will shorten it.

Beautiful colour

Yes, I recommend this

The colour is beautiful and the dress hangs nicely. It is very long and I would have chosen petite, if it was in stock. Lots of compliments from friends. The fabric is a bit scratchy, the only thing that stops it being five star.

Falling apart

No, I don't recommend this

I wore this lovely dress once and I gave it a gentle quick wash on 30 degrees. Drying on a hanger, it has started to show holes on the fabric and two seams have opened. I'm just trying to find out how to get a refund or replacement from the website that sends you round in circles.

Gorgeous dress

Yes, I recommend this

Very flattering dress. Lovely material. Flattering on the top of the arms as although sleeveless, the material covers more than a more vest top would be like. True to size. Waist is adjustable
