I was a bit unsure about the pleated skirt, thinking it might make me look wider, but it's actually really flattering! The way it falls is just gorgeous.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the stitching. Everything is finished off beautifully, not a single loose thread or dodgy seam in sight. It looks like a much pricier dress than it actually is.

The floral appliqué is my absolute favourite part! It's not too big or flashy, just a delicate little detail that makes the dress so unique. I felt incredibly elegant wearing it to a charity dinner.

I wore this to my granddaughter's christening because I wanted something appropriate but pretty. It was spot on for the church setting. The long sleeves are elegant and modest, and the drape of the skirt is just lovely. I was a bit worried about the sizing, so I went up a size, and I'm glad I did as it gave me a bit of extra breathing room. It’s not a stretchy material, so do keep that in mind. The colour is rich and deep, exactly what I was after. It’s a simple design, but those little floral details really make it special. It’s not the priciest dress in my wardrobe, but it looks like it cost a fair bit more. I’m absolutely chuffed with it.

The stitching is absolutely spot on and the fabric is top-notch. I got so many lovely comments at the gala I went to. It's elegant without being too OTT.
