Shopper Reviews
Shoppers have shared positive feedback in the reviews. One customer said: "I bought this to wear at my daughter’s wedding. It looked amazing with burnt orange accessories (to match the wedding colours) I had so many compliments. I’m 5’8” and the dress was ankle length which is exactly what I was wanting. A really lovely dress and excellent value."
Another reviewer wrote: "Beautiful olive colour, super comfy, bought for wedding guest. Hides tummy area well, quite a wide neckline but can still wear a bra and hide straps. Good quality material, would buy again other colours." A third added: "Beautiful dress, colour is stunning! Someone called me a 'green goddess', lovely material." A fourth said: "Fits beautiful, very slimming."
Alternatives and Criticism
Not all feedback was positive, with one reviewer noting: "What a shame about this dress. It's a lovely colour, I bought a size ten and it was really too baggy. The cut wasn’t the best, the front stuck out. It wouldn't flatten down and was quite unflattering."
For those seeking alternatives, Debenhams offers a Jacquard Button Front Long Sleeve Midi Dress, reduced from £55 to £38.50, featuring metallic accents and a v-neckline. Nobody's Child sells an Emerald Green Velvet Margot Midi Dress for £85 with an elasticated waist, sleeveless design, and open back. The Next dress remains available for purchase at £46.
