Great design, poor quality

No, I don't recommend this

I loved this dress, gorgeous fit, lovely swishy material, easy to dress up or down depending on your accessories, however the material looks like it’s fraying after one wear. Really disappointed as I would have lived in this dress over summer

Flowing dress

I was a little concerned that this dress might make my hips look big but in fact it is very clever styling and quite flattering. Lovely soft material and nice and long.

Comfortable and no creasing

Easy to wear, felt quite comfy in the heat, also travels well - shoved this in my bike bag and shook it out to wear at work with no crinkle. Maybe a little bulky over the hips, despite this has NO POCKETS (minus point!). It is cut quite low under the arm so is likely to show a bra if that matters to you (I bought a bra the same colour). The skirt is full enough that I can also play the cello in it, again if that's something you are looking for!

Lovely fit!

Yes, I recommend this

Initially wasn’t sure about the colour but in real life it’s a lovely chocolate brown. The fit is very flattering and have been complimented every time I wear this dress. Material feels light and airy great in hot weather - more colour please!!

Beautiful dress

Incentivised review originally posted on marksandspencer.ie

Yes, I recommend this

Very classy. Material is very soft and not inclined to crease. The shade of brown is gorgeous and goes well with gold coloured accessories. The folds are flattering.

Good quality and colour

I didnt buy the dress for a specific occasion, but it fits nice and is a lovely dress to wear. The material is soft and clingy and gives a nice shape to the body.

So comfortable

Yes, I recommend this

Versatile dress, nice colour, good weight, perfect midi length on (5’5’). Dress up or down. For me, cut of top/arms needs a strapless bra. Normally a 14-16 and 14 is perfect.

What a beautiful dress

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this dress for a golf function. I felt so comfortable in it. It hid all my lumps and bumps. I am only 5ft and ordered a 12’s petite. I can highly recommend this dress

Comfy, flattering, dress down, dress up.

Yes, I recommend this

Comfy and easy to wear. The drop waist panel in the front and back gives a long flattering line. I am a size 12 but the 10 was a better fit around the arms. I tried the tall version but the body length was the same as regular - only the hem length was longer. Dress up or down. Watch out the fabric pulls easily.
