Gorgeous chocolate brown dress

Yes, I recommend this

This dress fits so well delighted to be able to buy it in tall length - perfect for me at 5ft 9.5. Fabric is great and the rich brown colour is on trend. Ruched detail is very flattering. Only thing that could make this 100% perfect would be a pocket (or two!)

Great dress

Yes, I recommend this

I really like this dress - it's stylish and comfortable and the Tall version is a great length. I marked down because the fabric is quite heavy and it weighs down the stretch in the dress.

Lovely and flowy

Yes, I recommend this

Gorgeous dress. Hangs and flows really nicely, I love that you can gather it in as much or as little as you like, which makes it very flattering. It’s true to size and I’m 5’ 7” and it comes down to my ankle, which is perfect.

Love this looks really nice on,

Great quality linen mix material. Long length to ankle. Looks very nice on. Quite heavy do not sure it would be that cool if it was really hot out.

Really lovely dress.

Yes, I recommend this

Super dress. Slightly creased when collected the order but once on a hanger creases disappeared. I’m generally a 12 but downsized to a 10 which was perfect. I’m 5.4 and regular was pretty much maximum length, couldn’t have been longer or would have dragged on the floor. Very happy with purchase.

Fits all shapes

At last a dress that fits a 5ft 5in curvy hipped figure! I love dresses but they don’t always love my figure. I’ma size 16 with a small bust and slightly larger around the middle and hips (3 children later!) This dress hides a multitude of sins and will be great for an evening out or when on holiday.

This dress is so gorgeous !

Yes, I recommend this

This dress is so comfortable to wear and great to cover a bit of a tummy. You can dress it up with sandals and an evening wrap or trainers and a denim jacket. Also for us girls that need a petite at 5’2 the length is perfect.

Looks and feels great to wear! Very happy with this purchase. If between sizes would recommend sizing down. I’m 5’4 and it’s down to my shoes but in a cool way :-)

Beautiful easy wear dress

Yes, I recommend this

I struggle to find maxi dresses long enough being tall but this one is perfect. I bought a 14 long, it hits my ankles ( I’m 5ft 10 ) lovely colour, the fabric hangs well and isn’t flimsy but not too heavy either. Nice detailing. I bought both colours as I love it so much.
