Design and Features

Customer Reviews
The dress has a 4.9 out of 5 star rating from over 40 reviews. One shopper said: 'Love the colour and length of this smock dress. Fantastic for summer evening wear.' Another wrote: 'Beautiful dress. Lovely fit and lovely the colours. I went down a size and it has a very generous amount of material.' A third reviewer noted: 'This is a nice dress for summer. Green colour was a good choice as bright (without being garish) for the summer.'
While there are no negative reviews, one customer mentioned the dress 'comes up quite big', suggesting sizing down may be necessary. The dress is only available in one length, which could be an issue for petite or tall shoppers. However, a 4ft 7ins reviewer said: 'This is a very pretty dress and a little bit bohemian. It comes down to mid-calf which is great for me.' Another added: 'I absolutely love this dress; the colour and the way it fits. I can't wait to wear this on my holiday.'
