Shopper Reviews

One customer described it as a "classic black dress," praising its quality and fit, while another said it had a lovely shape and was well made.

A second review read: "Classic black dress for all occasions. I needed a suitable dress for a funeral, and this fitted the bill. It is of good quality fabric, fully lined and hangs well. Unfortunately it doesn't come in petite so I have had to pay to have it shorted by a good four inches which has added to the price of the dress. However, it is a good fit and is perfectly suitable for the occasion. Christmas? Bling it up!"

A third fan said: "Haven't worn a dress for years and I bought this because of the reviews and needing something flowing that would hide my hips. Oh my goodness this dress is to die for."

A fourth review read: "Love this dress, it's one of those items that even before you look in the mirror you're smiling because it makes you feel so good. Very flattering design, weighty fabric and a nice length."
