This was my only disappointment in my whole order. My husband likes it, but I feel it is too tight in the bust, yet has a lot of extra fabric on both sides by the hip (and I am pretty hour glass shaped). The lining doesn't feel like it sits right either. On sale, to make my husband happy, I'll keep it. The colour is similar to the Irish flag green, so a good dress for St. Paddy's day. (I am usually between a 10 Super Curvy and 12 Super Curvy.)

I got this dress quite discounted, so I'll be keeping it. However, I would have had a hard time justifying it to myself at full price, simply because I'm not quite sure when I'll wear it. I can't really wear it to work (too much cleavage) but it's plainer than I like for formal occasions. From the pictures and price, I was sure it was going to be a casual knit fabric, but this dress is actually fairly structured and the fabric is woven. It would be top-notch as a bridesmaid dress, but that's not really a thing I do much; it could maybe work for a conference reception with some jewellery to draw the eye upward. Perhaps a picnic? Bravissimos' fabric/construction quality can be hit-or-miss, but this one is a hit; the lining is good quality and there are no puckered seams. I think the the fit is correct for my usual size, but I only ordered one and it's possible I could have sized down for a better fit because the back was a tiny bit "pouchy". Oddly, it flares out a bit *below* my hips, but it's not necessarily unflattering; sort of a "tulip" profile. While some folks may dislike the wrinkle-prone rayon, I think it's lovely. I find that wrinkles in rayon tend to fall out in a half hour or so anyway and it's buttery soft. The dress is very cozy, especially as semi-formal dresses go. Yeah, it's probably for a picnic.

The colour is slightly darker in real life. While it has the wrap for the bust, I feel that this actually emphasises the larger bust. I love the v shape on the back as it creates a level of elegance. I am 5ft2 and I feel the length is a great match. Biggest turn off for me is the need to iron it. I am not a big fan of that.

I love Bravissimo clothing, but sometimes dresses can be hit or miss when you're 5ft4! This dress is a good bust fit (though not it is a faux wrap), but unflattering on my height, making me look a bit baggy. Will return it - confident that bravissimo's service will be excellent as always. So: Just something to bear in mind if you're 5ft4 and considering buying this dress.

I love the style of this dress! Was really worried 10 SC would not fit around my hips as saw a few ladies had that problem... It was slightly difficult to get through my bust but it fitted very nicely and tight (but not too tight) around the back, creates that "hour glass" shape and I look very feminine. I love the colour as well. Obviously needs ironing but I am pleased there is fashion for women like me! Still waiting for my navy blue one to arrive but would recommend red!

I love this dress and have had compliments when I wear it. I have also ordered the blue! It is a bit of a struggle to get into without a zip but once on it fits beautifully. I’m normally a size 14 but couldn’t get that one on so ordered it again in a 16 and I’m so glad I did as it’s now one of my favourite dresses.

I bought this in size 12 Really Curvy (I’m a UK 34F at Bravissimo) at the sale price. As others have said, it does take some effort to get it on/pulled down over the boobs, so although a zip would help, I imagine this would push up the price..? As it is, it’s up to each customer whether or not the bit of a struggle is worth it or not. Once on, I LOVE this dress, so for me it’s well worth it. The loops are bit high, as others have said. But this means it fits as a crossover across the boobs, but below that it’s a perfect fit. As we are all different, I’d say don’t be put off by poor reviews and just give it a go. I’ve had compliments EVERY time I’ve worn this. Although the fabric is very crumpled on delivery, it’s very easily ironed. I’ve worn it for work during the recent hot weather and, unlike other reviewers, I found it doesn’t particularly crease that easily. A great dress, even better at sale price. LOVE the khaki colour with a (UK garden!) tan. For reference, I’m 5’10”, inside leg 35” and this hits just below the knee. I’m usual dress size 10-12, but I reckon a 10 would have been impossible to get on. 4 stars overall

This dress has no zip and no stretch to the fabric - so almost impossible to get the dress on. Waited 10 days on the delivery- to get a dress that I can’t get on. Waste of money and very disappointing. Wished I’d read the reviews before buying.
