“Great looking dress: got loads of compliments,” said one five-star review. “The neckline is a bit low for my taste, but I just pinned it together at the appropriate level.” Another simply said: “This is a classy dress that hangs beautifully!”

“A fabulous dress, very flattering,” said another happy customer. “I'm a 14/16, but the 14 fitted fine. The sequins catch the light and really bring the dress to another level.” Another agreed that it "comes up large", writing: "Heavy but pretty. Go a size smaller. Length is nice."
