One friend went online and bought a dress from the same company and at least one other will be buying one too! So a great success, in fact I may well buy another without sleeves this evening.

Top review: “LOVE this dress! It was true to size, very comfortable, lovely fabric and better than I anticipated. So much so, my daughter tried it on, ordered herself two different styles and another for me. I have washed and worn them several times and are my favourite ‘go to’ dresses. The advantage is you can dress up or dress down with pumps and cardi. Definitely recommend to anyone thinking of buying it. I may need another soon!”

I washed it before I wore it and didn’t have to iron it (bonus). I was comfortable all day which is a rarity. I got several compliments on how classy I looked.”

I normally have a hard time walking in maxi dresses that are straight fit, this maxi dress has a side slit on both sides which makes it so comfortable to move around.. you can dress it both up and down… Overall I am very pleased with this dress… super cute!”
