This dress! Just wow, dress it up or dress it down. You won’t want to take it off. I bought the black and went back for the navy. Now all my friends are jumping on because they love it too! This is a staple and will be worn on repeat for years to come.

First time buyer and it was SPOT ON! Perfect sizing, fits beautifully, so comfortable, and flattering. I'm 5,2 and curvy, so I bought an XXL. Seriously the perfect dress.. IT HAS POCKETS TOO. I'm a Dharma Bums convert. Thank you

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!

I'm travelling to Vietnam soon and thought this would be the perfect dress to pack. It fits beautifully and is a great length. Very happy with purchase. I'm a size 10, 170cm tall and purchased a Medium.

Essential Maxi Dress - Cobalt
The dress is lovely and comfortable and the location of the gathers gives the illusion of shape on my otherwise flattish butt. I love it and can't wait to take it overseas with me.

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 :)

    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.
