Reviews Summary

Shoppers keep coming back to this dress for its soft, “buttery” feel and the way it drapes and falls without clinging. It’s repeatedly described as flattering and easy to wear, with many people styling it both casually and “dressed up” (often with a belt or jewellery) for lunches, drinks, and dinners. Practical details—especially the pockets and easy-care, travel-friendly fabric—turn it into a go-to piece people buy again in another size or style.

What Customers Love Most

  • Buttery-soft fabric that feels great on skin
  • Flattering cut with a beautiful drape/fall
  • Easy to dress up or down (casual to dinner-ready)
  • Comfortable, relaxed wear that still looks elegant
  • Pockets that are genuinely useful

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Travel and packing (creases drop out when hung)
  • Lunches, Christmas drinks, and dinner outings
  • Spring/summer wear (and some say year-round in their climate)
  • Curvy or busty body types wanting a flattering, not-too-tight fit
  • Days when you want “effortlessly elegant” without fussing with accessories

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • “Beautiful made” with a “lovely weight and cut”
  • Fabric holds up well for wearability and repeated use—several bought a second one/another piece after trying it
  • Easy-care performance noted for travel: creases release when hung (low-fuss finish)

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: true to size

Multiple reviewers call it “true to size” with a “perfect” fit; sizing examples include a size 12 choosing Medium and a size 14–16 choosing Large for a fit that’s “not too tight.” A few note length considerations—shorter customers may need to shorten it, and one shopper felt hanging could stretch it longer.

What Customers Say

  • "“The fabric is soft and buttery and will be perfect for travel. Just hang it and the creases disappear.”"
  • "“It is so relaxed and comfortable but is effortlessly elegant at the same time... and it has pockets!”"
  • "“Flattering cut, falls perfectly, fits true to size.”"

Is the style flattering, or does it cling in the wrong places?

How long is the dress—does it run long?

Most comments describe the length positively (e.g., “a great length”), but one reviewer noted it was “already longer” and worried it could stretch longer if hung on a coat hanger.

Overall, length feedback is mostly positive with one cautionary note.

What’s the neckline closure like—are there buttons to deal with?

If you travel often, it may be a low-maintenance option compared to more structured fabrics.

I am a size 12, athletic but also curvy, and I bought a Medium. Another stunning dress. Tie a small belt around your waist to dress it up and show your figure or leave it loose for a more casual look. Love it!

    A Million Dollars!

    As soon as I opened my package and felt the material I knew it was going be a winner. It is so soft and hangs beautifully. I ordered the large, I’m a 14 to 16. It’s fitting but it’s not too tight….I have a weird de back and big bust but it looks sensational on. The pockets are a brilliant addition. I purchased it as I’m going to Bali soon and we like to dress for dinner so the pockets actually save me taking a purse.

    I added some gold jewellery and thought I looked a million bucks.

    I love this dress so much I’ve now purchased my second piece , the Arabella off the shoulder dress. This time I ordered XL just to see the difference in size. Stay posted.
