I first purchased this dress in black and loved it so much I then purchased the navy. This is the ultimate comfortable and elegant allrounder. You can dress it up or down. The deep pockets are so handy and secure, fitting mobile phone and car keys in them without even being able to see them. I feel I will be adding more colours to my collection soon! My absolute 'go to' dress.

I am short, only 5' tall. This dress ticks all the boxes for me. It is full length maxi on me and the waist sits exactly where it should on my frame and that has NEVER happened for me before.. I love it.

A friend had recommended Dharma Bums and I ordered the dress, after checking the refund policy, in case I didn't like it! I was pleasantly surprised and amazed at how flattering it was, especially as I don't usually go for sleeveless and immediately took off the tag - this was a keeper :)

I received my maxi dress very quickly and I wore it immediately! Silky soft, flattering style and a great price. I’ll be wearing this constantly! I would love to see it in lots of different colours. I’d probably buy them all!

I was hesitant to order as I didn’t know the brand and sizing. When I received the Essential Maxi Dress, I was more than pleased. The material is super soft and the fit was just how I had hoped…. Perfect in every way. So comfortable, easy wearing and dress it up or down. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again as this is a quality product. Bravo!

Essential Maxi Dress - Cobalt
Comfy and stylish but low maintenance dress. No ironing and soft relax feel but has style. The low waist before the skirt drape gives shape and the skirt is not too wide in fabric but enough to walk easily, pockets are always good in a flow skirt. Got it in classic black and have now ordered a cherry colour. If some earthy tones are brought out in this style I see myself buying more!!

    Love this dress

    It is cool and comfy. Light enough for a qld summer but can be layered and looks great...and it has pockets!

    It is true to size but has a lot of stretch.
