Most Helpful Reviews
this dress is wonderful. So comfortable, fits flatteringly and easily on my tall/medium frame. Would buy again. Fabric is light and flowing.
This is the third dress I have ordered from Dresseshop . Extremely happy with my cocktail dress, I'm wearing it to our party this weekend and this one really fabulous dress and cannot wait to wear this and show off my beauty. It took approx 1 week to arrive here which I also think is fantastic.
This just arrived today - just beautiful. Lovely soft flowing dress in vibrant colours.
It is very generous to in thise dress wearing heels . It's easy enough to shorten the hem as the lining is considerably higher than the dress.
