Needed a last-minute evening dress for a charity ball and took a punt on this one. It looks much more expensive than it actually is! The A-line shape is really flattering and gives you plenty of room to move about. I will say the zip was a bit stiff the first time I tried to pull it up, but rubbing a little bar of soap on the teeth helped it glide more easily. Really elegant without trying too hard.

Gorgeous colour and the half sleeves are just spot on. It looked absolutely lovely for our vow renewal ceremony.

Wore this on the formal night of our cruise. It packed surprisingly well in my case. Got a few lovely compliments from other ladies on board!

Bought this for a posh Christmas do at my husband's work. Very smart and comfortable enough to sit in for hours.

My daughter wanted me in a soft blue for her garden wedding and this dress was spot on. The chiffon material is lovely and light, which was an absolute godsend in the afternoon sun. The neckline is gorgeous, though it was a bit scratchy at first until I gave it a wash.
