Reviews Summary
Shoppers keep calling this the kind of dress they reach for on repeat: “ridiculously comfortable,” easy to style, and reliably flattering thanks to the waist tie/sash. The fabric gets a lot of love for being “butter” soft with a drape that “falls really nicely,” and many mention it travels well—no fuss, no iron, and even “doesn’t crush” in a suitcase. A common note is sizing: plenty find it true to size, but a noticeable group recommends going up a size if you don’t want it clingy.
What Customers Love Most
- Soft, “buttery” fabric that feels luxurious and comfortable
- Flattering cut with the waist wrap/tie/sash that defines shape and disguises the tummy area
- Versatility: easy to dress up with heels/jacket or down with flats/slides
- Travel-friendly, easy-care fabric (packs well, “doesn’t crush,” “no iron,” quick dry)
- Drape/weight: hangs beautifully, falls nicely, decent weight so it drops well
Customers Say These Are Perfect For
- Travel/holidays (Europe trips, overseas packing, suitcase wear)
- Work/office days when you want to look put-together without fuss
- Casual weekends (shopping, daytime wear with slides/flats)
- Curvy or tummy-conscious shoppers who want a “forgiving yet slimming” fit
- Events and dinners (Christmas parties, casual events) where you can elevate it with wedges or a jacket
Customer Feedback on Quality
- Fabric is repeatedly described as “divine,” “beautiful quality,” and “luxurious,” with a drape that “hangs beautifully” and “falls on the curves beautifully.”
- Holds up as an easy-care/travel piece: “doesn’t crush,” “no iron,” and “quick dry” are called out as practical wins.
- Construction/finish gets positive mentions like “well made,” “lovely quality,” and “excellent fabrics” (including notes that it’s “not too clingy” and can reduce VPL).
Customer Fit Feedback
A sizeable group mentions it “runs small” or feels “tight fitting,” especially if you don’t want it clingy—several customers sized up (e.g., usually a 10 but bought a 12; size 10 bought Medium; size 10–12 bought Medium and advised going up). Others report “true to size” with a “perfect fit.” The tie/belt helps fine-tune the waist and can be tied at the front, side, or back; below-knee to midi length is frequently liked (noted as a longish midi on a 5'1" petite shopper and “perfect” on 155cm).
What Customers Say
- "“The material is like butter and it fits perfectly.”"
- "“You can stuff it in your suitcase and it comes out perfectly without ironing!”"
- "“Ridiculously comfortable.”"
Shop the Look
I absolutely love this dress. It arrived a few days ago and I can’t get enough of it. The fabric is super soft and falls really nicely, the waist wrap is very flattering and it’s just so comfortable. Can be worn casually with slides or pop on some heeled wedges for a more dressy look. I just bought another one as I’m going to need it!
Beautiful fabric and a flattering fit makes this a great all round dress. Perfect for travel and can be casual or more elevated. Very happy with this purchase
Lovely dress, very flattering design, looks great on. Will be packing it for travelling in June. Fabric is soft and flowy but is a decent weight. I love it 😍
Absolutely love the flattering design of the Athena dress, the fabric quality and the gorgeous colour too. It can be worn for casual events or dressed up and is now my go to dress. Love it and will be purchasing it in other colours!
Love the dress. This is a first purchase for me and I’m so happy. The colour is great and the fit is perfect. I’m a size 12-14 and have the size M. Will definitely be back for more.
The shape is very flattering and I love the fact that you can stuff it in your suitcase and it comes out perfectly without ironing!
Love it. It’s so comfortable and super soft material
I love this dress, the fabric is so soft and the cut with the fabric tie belt is flattering. I bought a medium (I’m usually a 10-12 size) because it runs small so would suggest going up a size.
Love it. It's chic and comfortable, just what I needed in my wardrobe!
fits perfectly and love the cross over belt around the tummy area, great to dress up or down

Size up. I’m a size 10-12 and despite the stretch needed the M so that it doesn’t cling in all the incorrect places, But gorgeous colour and fit. Fabric is perfect.

Lovely soft stretchy material. Easy throw on and go dress. Can be worn casual or dressed up with some heels. Im a size 6-8 normally. I ordered a small as there was no xs in stock which was fine as the tie pulls it in to give it shape. XS would have probably been a nicer fit in the under arm area and top. Flattering easy to wear dress, will get lots of wear
