I am 5 ft 3 half and weight 8stone 10lbs. bra size dd to e. Ordered 08 really curvy. fits as if made for me. Hemline sits just above top of knee. Wear with opaque black tights and black boots. Kneckline plunges so wear white t shirt underneath. looks stunning. love it. looks expensive.

Really love these Alex Zip Front dresses, so much I bought 3! They really bring you in at the waist and are a flattering style for balancing out top heaviness. I also found a smaller size fitted me better. The black dress fabric is quite thick, so good at smoothing any lumps and bumps too. You can even control how much cleavage you want to show with the zip...

Quality is amazing and I love that the dress comes with pockets. The dress size comes up big, so I would order a size smaller than you are. I would prefer this dress in a dark blue denim and/or burgundy. I’d also like to see the style with a collar.

I tried last season's patterned version but it wasn’t quite for me. This version is fab! Works well in the denim - type fabric and it is comfy and versatile. I found it true to size and have worn it three times in a week. Will be able to dress it up or down. Upset that it was reduced by £12 just a couple of days after my purchase though. Typical - but would recommend!

Lovely dress, nice style and fit. However, as previously mentioned it comes up big. I ordered my normal size and it is very generous. I could have gone down a whole size really.

I don’t normally buy full priced Bravissimo clothing for work but I really wanted something comfortable and flattering after some weight gain so ordered this dress after reading about the elasticated back. I was so glad I did - I absolutely love it. Being 5 foot tall it’s a decent length and the sleeves don’t get in the way of messy activities and I love that it has pockets. I would like to get another if it came in a wider range of colours. A deep red or a forest green would be great - all my Bravissimo dresses seem to be in similar colours so it would be nice to have different options. I needed to go down a Curvy size as it’s quite generous around the bust.
