Reviews Summary
Wearers keep calling this dress their “go to” because it’s comfortable enough for all-day living, yet easily shifts from casual sandals to heels, boots, or a blazer. The fabric gets consistent love for being “buttery soft,” draping beautifully and feeling substantial without clinging—plus it travels well and often needs “no ironing.” Pockets are a recurring delight, especially because they’re deep and handy without adding bulk.
What Customers Love Most
- Dress it up or down versatility (day-to-night styling)
- Soft, “buttery” fabric that feels great against the skin
- Flattering cut that skims rather than clings (drop waist/gathers, drapes over hips)
- Pockets (often mentioned as deep/secure and not bulky)
- Easy-care/travel-friendly (doesn’t crease, “no ironing,” wrinkles drop out)
Customers Say These Are Perfect For
- Travel (packing light, cruises/overseas trips, ‘throw in a bag’ dressing)
- Work and work-from-home days (easy, comfortable, still looks put-together)
- Day-to-night outfits (dinner, Christmas events, drinks with the girls)
- Curvy or midsection-conscious shoppers wanting a dress that ‘skims the bumps’ and ‘disguises my menopause middle’
- Layering across seasons (denim jacket/blazer/knits over the top; long sleeve tee underneath; boots in winter)
Customer Feedback on Quality
- Washes well and holds up: “washes so well” with “no ugly balling”/no pilling reported
- Travel/easy-care durability: “won’t crease in suitcase,” wrinkles fall out when hung overnight, and “no ironing needed”
- Fabric and construction feel premium: “good weight,” “thick enough not to be see through,” “beautifully sewn,” drapes without heaviness
Customer Fit Feedback
Many say the fit is “true to size” and the sizing is “perfect” when using the size chart, with repeated praise for the length being “perfect” even for shorter heights (around 160–164cm) and taller wearers (170–175cm). However, several mention the bodice/top can feel more fitted—some sized up (e.g., size 10 shoppers preferring Medium over Small; others sizing up for a less tight top or more length). A smaller set of reviews flag the maxi length as too long for very petite shoppers (around 156cm) and needing a hem, while others at 5'0–5'2 report it surprisingly sits in the right place.
What Customers Say
- "“No need to iron just throw on and go.”"
- "“Deep pockets are so handy and secure, fitting mobile phone and car keys in them without even being able to see them.”"
- "“I was worried it would be too long… worried it would be too clingy — it’s not.”"
Shop the Look
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
Wonderfully soft and airy. Beautiful colour and it has pockets!
I am impressed with this lovely versatile dress. Easy to dress up for more formal occasions or to wear for casual events. I am looking to wearing it on my holiday.
I first purchased this dress in black and loved it so much I then purchased the navy. This is the ultimate comfortable and elegant allrounder. You can dress it up or down. The deep pockets are so handy and secure, fitting mobile phone and car keys in them without even being able to see them. I feel I will be adding more colours to my collection soon! My absolute 'go to' dress.
Quite possibly the most perfect dress ever! Dress it up or down. Great for travelling. I got extra small and perfect for me at 5 “2. Its very flattering.
Essential dress in Cherry - comfortable, dress up or down..perfect for travel.
I haven’t had a black dress that I have liked so much in ages. The lines, and high neckline were fabulous. And the material is incredibly flattering.
Great dress, deep pockets, soft fabric, fitted bodice and flowy skirt.
This dress is buttery soft and feels amazing to wear. The length is perfect and I’m 164cm purchased size 8. It fits beautifully. I’ve worn it out for dinner and to work. Love the pockets as well.
I love a dress with pockets, this dress has a good weight to it too. A comfortable fit and easy to dress up or go casual. Nicely disguises my bit of ‘menopause middle’. Material feels lovely and thick enough not to be see through. I used the size guide and am happy with the size I picked.
