OMG - love it!! I want one in every colour. Fabric feels great, fits really well. For reference: I’m 174 cm tall, 60kg and size M/12 fits perfectly. Dress it up or dress it down, it’s perfect, not just for young ladies, I’m 60 years old.

    Perfect dress

    Ordered a size XXL to fit a curvy 12/24 waist and hips and Size 14/16 chest. Fits and flows perfect! I’ve been wearing as a casual weekend or WFH dress and will add a layer of a blazer or denim jacket to make it more smart casual or formal. I’ll purchase this again.

    Simply the best

    I am in love with this dress! the heavier weight, silky, smooth fabric allows it to drape over the hips in a flattering way. I'm 171 cm, 65 kg.
