THE BEST DRESS EVER !!!! GREAT STYLE, GREAT FABRIC, SUCH A FUN DRESS TO GO WITH EVERY LOOK! I LOVE THE FACT ITS SHORTER AND CUT STRAIGHT! I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A SECOND ONE....WELL DONE!

Tester | 27 June 2019

The cut, length and sleeves are all perfect in this dress but I found the material to show very lump and bump both back and front and even bra lines as there are no panels to give the dress definition and the polyester tends to follow every curve - not always a good thing. If you’re not lumpy and bumpy like myself then you’ll be fine, but for me this material is a big no. Bamboo or Viscose would be great alternatives with panels or pintucks and then you’d have a winner!
