What a wonderful dress. Quality material, ultra flattering style and the beauty is you can dress it up or down. Definitely a winner!!!
I'm a size 12 but went up a size in this dress. Gorgeous material and the dress falls beautifully. I could have stayed with the smaller size but wanted a slightly looser fit. I wore this to my son's formal graduation dinner and was complimented on the dress. I love this store, have always had great experiences with the clothes and with customer service.
Super flattering and so versatile. I love this dress so much. True to size and doesn’t need ironing.
Gorgeous dress, very flattering. Lovely quality fabric. Would love to see it in more colours
This is a very flattering dress that looks great with heels or flats. Lovely fabric too.
Great dress, very comfortable. You can dress it up or keep it casual. Could have purchased a size smaller, depends on how fitting you would like the dress. Will be back
I have quite a few Dharma Bums dresses, but this is definitely my favourite one so far.
