Whilst I love the fit of this dress, it looks and feels great for about 3 minutes. The buttons pop constantly, I cannot wear the dress again because it’s an absolute nightmare!

Sadly, the button across the bust pops open just like any other non-Bravissimo clothing. Other reviews about button size are fair as well. However, the style is very flattering and the material is really nice and thick and, fit aside, this would be great for colder months. I tried a few different ways of washing to see if that made any difference to the button-poppinng - it didn't! I returned this as buying clothes which don't expose my bra is generally what I rely on Bravissimo for! Some people have suggested sizing up, but I couldn't say how much impact that might have as I didn't try it. The person at the branch I returned it to said that ironing should help, but I just don't iron as a general rule so this dress was not suitable for me (no point in having a nice dress which has to wait a few months for me to have time to iron it to wear it!). Personally, if this is necessary for the fit to be right, I think it should be clearer in the product description.

I wore this dress for the first time today, and love the fit, the colour, the length and the fabric. But, the buttons are ridiculously small, and I'm ready to tear my hair out with having to keep doing them up all day. I love the dress so will replace all 13 buttons myself, rather than return it, but I am not happy.

I bought this in the sale. I'm normally a size 10 really curvy/super curvy but due to the other reviews about the buttons popping open, I went up a dress size and so far so good! The buttons are small and the fabric is stretchy which means the button would pop open if put under stress, but going up a dress size means there is no stress on the buttons, and because its fitted, it looks perfect - not too big. It's really comfy too. Hopefully it washes well. For the sale price, its comparable to dresses on the high street but with the Bravissimo fit.

If I had bought this dress in a typical store I would have given it 4 - 5 stars because it would have been a miracle. But having been a long time customer of Bravissimo, I have the bar set high. Overall, great, cute dress that I've never been able to wear before without bagginess or lots of pins holding the bodice closed. This dress would have been a easy 5 star if the fabric had a touch more stretch and the hand of the fabric was softer. It's fairly stiff and falls away from the body. And that makes it a bit uncomfortable and restricting to wear. The second drawback is it's really short! I'm 5'4" and my legs are attractive. But this dress comes nearly mid thigh, just a bit too short for me. So I'll need to wear it with tights and leggings. No cute denim dress with sandals for me with this one. The only other thing missing in this denim dress is pockets! This would be such a winner with pockets. There are unusable chest pockets which I so don't need on my large chest, no matter how flattering the cut of the dress. But real, usable side seam pockets or any kind of pockets would be great. As I said, lots of potential but not a true winner in my book.

Just tried this dress on and I really liked it, fit was good, didn't gape when I sat down but I'm sending it back. The buttons are awful, they are really tiny against a stiff fabric, I'd give it a couple of wears before the denim stretched and the tiny buttons started popping through and because it's buttons all the way down it would just render the dress unwearable. It would be much better if the buttons were either bigger or were false and didn't go all the way down the dress. Shame as I liked it on.

I love this dress! However I am very careful washing my dark clothes separately in low temperatures and with a washing powder for colours... my dress has still faded after 5 washes. I now have had to buy a dye as it looks really tatty. Everyone has complimented me on my dress but a bit disappointed about the lack of fastness in the colour.

Needed a dress for a western party and tried this one. No gapping buttons, but I found the style makes me look matronly. I don't know if it's the pockets on the chest or what, but I looked really heavy top. The dress is really high quality and no popping button for me, even after a night of jumping and dancing. I just wish we have more buttoned style with a modest V-neck shape.
