The Francesca Floral Tea Dress from Joe Browns has been reduced by 60% in the retailer's summer sale, now priced at £20 down from £50. The vintage-inspired dress has garnered a 4.8 out of five-star rating from shoppers, who describe it as 'light and airy' and 'easy to wear'. Available in sizes eight to 24, most sizes remain in stock online.
Design and Features
The dress features a feminine silhouette with a frilled collar and puff sleeves, providing sun coverage for the shoulders and upper arms. Underbust seams add structure, while an elasticated back ensures a comfortable yet neat fit. Fabric-covered buttons run down the front placket, enhancing the expensive-looking style. The midi-length hem hits at the mid-calf, creating an elongating effect.
Crafted from viscose, the fabric offers a silk-like feel and effortless drape, making it suitable for warm weather. The light and airy material skims over curves without clinging. The retro-inspired floral print adds charm, allowing the dress to be dressed up with wedges or heels or down with sandals or white trainers.
Shopper Reviews
One satisfied shopper commented: 'Beautiful dress, fabric is light and airy. Size was perfect. Loved the colour and design.' Another wrote: 'A very pretty, easy-to-wear dress. I don't normally wear dresses so I'm very happy with it.' A third added: 'The fabric is very soft and light. I love the detail around the collar. Print is nice too and works well with red shoes.'
However, one four-star review noted: 'Came up slightly on the small side. Exchanged for the next size up. Well-made dress, wife was a bit disappointed she's going to have to wait for the next delivery.' Another five-star review stated: 'Beautiful dress. Can either dress up or down.'
