Customers describe this dress as exceptionally comfortable, with a “buttery softness” and a drape that makes it feel far more elevated than a typical basic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers based on customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

How does the Sofia dress fit—should I size down?

Across 3 reviews, sizing feedback suggests it can run a little generous depending on your preference. One reviewer specifically said they “needed to down size,” while another shared that an XS fit well for an 8/10. If you’re between sizes or prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down; otherwise your usual size may still work for a relaxed drape.

Based on 3 customer reviews
Does the dress drape nicely or cling in awkward places?

3 reviewers specifically mention the drape as a positive, saying it “drapes well” and has a “perfect drape.” This suggests the fabric hangs smoothly rather than clinging tightly. Customers describe it as flattering once on, even if they were unsure about the style at first.

Based on 3 customer reviews
Is the length on the longer side?

3 reviews point to length being something to consider, with one customer saying it was “too long for me but that’s easily sorted,” while others focused on fit and drape rather than length issues. If you’re petite or prefer a shorter hem, you may want to check measurements or plan for an easy hem. For others, it appears to sit well without being a deal-breaker.
