Customer Reviews
One reviewer said: "love this dress, easy to wear comfortable and for once a dress that's perfect maxi length and doesn't have to be taken up (I'm 5'1")." Another customer on holiday noted: "It's comfortable in 40 degree heat and it doesn't crease at all. I'm buying again in another colour! I'm 5'4" and it's ankle length on me."
A petite shopper added: "lovely dress good fit and value for money. Not too long even though I'm quiet short in height." Another described it as "so pretty" and "so comfortable," adding: "I'm 55 so getting harder on things to choose to wear... The length is perfect I'm 5ft 5. And small sleeves to cover our little by by arms... the material doesn't make me sweat it's so soft."
The pockets were a hit: "Absolutely love it. Material is gorgeous love the colours and love the fact it had pockets. Had compliments first time I wore it on how lovely it was. I'm normally a size 12 so I bought a 12 and its perfect." Another enthused: "Gorgeous dress in very pretty colours! Love everything about it and had lots of compliments wearing it."
Fit and Length Feedback
One petite shopper (5'1") found the length too long, saying: "Both were beautiful dresses and I really loved them but had to send them back because of the length they were trailing on the floor and I would have had to take at least 12 inches off them." Another preferred longer sleeves: "The length of the dress is nice. The colours of dress is very beautiful for summer, but I prefer longer sleeves."
However, most were satisfied: "Very pretty, true to size fits perfectly, very happy with this dress." One customer bought it in three colours: "Beautiful style dress so easy to wear, I have it in three different colours." Another noted: "Absolutely love my new dress. The colours are gorgeous and I love the way it flows when I walk." A pleased customer said: "Good fit, very flattering. The colours are gorgeous and it's very comfortable."
