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.

I found the whole top half too tight on me, despite fitting well in other 'really curvy' clothes. It was a bit of an odd shape and unfortunately looked frumpy on me. Lovely material though!

This dress is super cute & flattering! I ordered the 8SC, and found that it continues to fit even as I’ve gained some weight in the last month or so. At the time I ordered, my measurements were probably 40.5”-41” (34F/G) bust, 29.5”-30” waist, 40” hips, and now I’m probably a 31” waist. The placement of the loops means - on me - the wraps hit just below the bust. I prefer to use the wraps to define my waist, so I mostly ignore the loops, but that does mean the wraps don’t really stay put. It’s cute tied through the loops too, but doesn’t give as much waist definition. My major complaint about this dress - and the reason I knocked off a star - is that it wrinkles SO easily. I think it would be improved with a bit more stretch in the fabric, to reduce wrinkles & give it a more generous fit. I throw it in the dryer on super low to help release wrinkles, which does help, but I’d hoped to add this to my vacation travel capsule, and with how easily it wrinkles I’m really hesitant.

It took 20 minutes with the help of a friend to get into this dress. Once I did, it fitted reasonably well but this is a major design fault. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect to be able to either step into a dress or put it over your head but neither method worked; my arms appeared to be the problem i.e. having them! I can fit in an M&S 14 but require 18 to accommodate my breasts so this dress should have been perfect. A zip would help. I am quite cross that Bravissimo is even selling these at a reduced rate; I wasted my time and postage for an appealingly bad design. The material is rather cheap and creased too for the original £60 tag.

Truly a stunning piece. For reference, I'm 5ft 10.5" and it hits me right under the knees. My bust is normally 30FF and the 10 Super Curvy fits very nicely. I did try the 8 Super Curvy also, which fit me better in the waist but was too tight on the hips and on the bust. It does not have any stretch so take that into account when ordering!

Was a bit put off by reviews, but as ordering swimwear and it was half price I added it to my order just to see what it was like. I like it so much have just ordered it in the red, also half price, perhaps slightly snug on the bust compared with other purchases, but as I'm a 34JJ its not surprising, not tight on hips, so very happy with it. I really like the longer length.. stops my legs sticking to chairs when I sit down in this hot weather and helps me look less short & fat (I'm working on changing that) The fabric has a lovely feel and drape too.

I liked this dress. The material (albeit very crumpled on opening) is lightweight and comfortable, just perfect for the warmer weather. It is also lined to mid-thigh length so keeps it's shape. I didn't find it hard to get on, as some reviewers said, and it fitted well over my boobs. However, the same can't be said for my hips! I'm an hourglass shape but the hip and thigh areas are much too big and gave me a noticeable pear shape, and that's a first! I also have another criticism of Bravissimo dresses. They are made for taller people. I don't consider myself very short at 5'3", but I could hitch up this dress by 1 to 2 inches at the straps to get a good fit. PLEASE, PLEASE make some dresses for the shorter body!

Bought this dress in blue last year in 12 SC. Still love it, although it remains a struggle to get it on as there is no stretch or zipper. Worth it though! Tried the red one this year as it was on sale, in 14 RC. It has a bit more room in the chest, but returned it because it was way too big in the waist and hips and it showed the outline of my bra which is much less visible with the blue one.
