Good Value Very Flattering For Plus Size
I’m always looking for new dresses. Green makes my eyes pop so I purchased this one. I love the style of this dress it’s very flattering for plus size. It has stretch and give in all the right places!Normally I have issues with fit My measurements are 46/50/50 with a wide set 46F UK/46HH US. I’m only 5 foot 2 inches and wearing with less than a two inch heel. Finding a top that fits just right in a dress without having to have it altered is usually hard. The way this was made us spot on! Not too much skin is showing, but it plunged just enough to still be very feminine.You could actually size down in this dress if you wanted it to fall a little shorter. It has a fair amount of stretch and the elastic that falls under the bust will stretch a good bit too.Tip: When washing hang to dry this extends the life of the elastic. If you need to dry use a no heat or low heat delicate cycle.Good Value for the money, highly recommend for anyone plus size looking for a nice sting or summer dress. Would be an excellent gift too.

“Burgundy” is more Purple than Red
Awesome dress—roomy and comfy and flattering! Great fabric, too, that doesn’t seem too cheap, and is better quality than other dresses in this price range. I have this dress in two colors—the green and the burgundy. The colors are gorgeous!!I would only caution buyers that the “burgundy” is more purple than red—which is fine with me since purple is my favorite color—but that might not be for some folks.Regarding sizing—the small is perfect for me—I usually wear dresses in small or medium since I’m small-chested. I’m 5’5”, 163lb, 36B/C and the small is perfect, maybe even a little roomy in the chest area. Modest but flattering! Can’t wait for more springy colors!

Very Cute
Cute dress, I tried the longer version of it and I looked like a cow wearing a moo moo who is considering joining the convent. This dress on the other hand is nice for summer and very flattering. For reference I'm 5'7" and 225 so XL fit just right.

Flowy, cute, and screams summer!!
This is the perfect summer red dress! It’s not too tight and the length is perfect — it hits me right above my knees. I didn’t find the v neck too revealing either — modest enough to wear to work. It’s definitely a summer dress since it so light and flowy. The color pops so if you like a more understated look just beware of that. I bought an X-Large but I think I could have gotten a Large. For reference: I’m 5’4” 1/2, fluctuating between 175-180lbs, and am 38D.

Basic dress with good fabric
I am very happy with the quality of this dress. For the price, I was honestly expecting a much thinner see through material. The heavier drape of the fabric & dark color worked nicely in hiding my flaws. I’m about 5’3 & 170lbs and the size large came to just above my knees, so great running around length. I wore it on multiple occasions to throw over my swimsuit, so I wasn’t worried about showing too much in the neckline area. But honestly, it’s nothing a little piece of lingerie tape can’t fix.

Perfect!
I just received this and came right back to order other colors! I'm 5'1" and 165 lb, I carry all my weight in my belly. This hangs so nice for me and even though it's lightweight skims perfectly over my lumps and bumps. My bra size is 42C and somehow this reveals just the right amount of cleavage but the wrap is so well constructed that I don't feel like the girls are going to pop out. The jade color is a deep perfect green (looks darker than the stock photo to me but is probably lighter in the sun). For me, this is one of the best fitting dresses I've ever owned!

Flattering and comfy
Super soft, comfy. Perfect length. The sleeves are roomy and a good length. The ONLY thing that would make this dress better would be pockets.

Lovely versatile dress. Great value.
I am a UK size 10 and ordered this dress in coral red, navy and black. I’m returning the coral red one as it seemed more coral pink than red but keeping the navy and black ones. Really comfortable and easy to iron if needed. I would love one in a darker red.

Compliments

Good for breastfeeding
I am a UK size 14 and the M-L fits perfectly. Very flattering dress at knee length and made of soft, comfortable material which is of a decent thickness. The neckline is quite deep but i just wear a vest underneath and that solves that problem. This dress is ideal for breastfeeding as the top overlaps easily pull to the side and I could see this being useful as a maternity dress too due to the stretchy waistband and flowing skirt.Overall a worthwhile purchase and I definitely recommend.

Lovely dress
Lovely dress, stretchy, comfy, flattering. It is above knee on me as I am relatively tall. Lovely bust detail which the larger bust fits in perfectly, although it would fit a smaller bust also as so versitile. I bought the burgundy and I have also ordered the green. Will be buying other colours too. Perfect for any occasion fabulous dress and so cool for the summer. Love it is eco friendly aswell.

Great dress
I’ve put on a bit of weight thanks to some medication so needed some dressed while my jeans don’t fit me. This dress (I have it in green and red) is perfect! It’s light fabric, it moves well and everyone whose seen me in it has asked where I got it from
