I bought this to wear to a formal event and I love it. It’s a beautiful colour and a great fit. My only gripe is that I’d have preferred it slightly shorter. I’m only 5’2” though so it would be a good length on someone of average height. The ruffle detail stops the length looking frumpy on me. Highly recommend

I ordered this in blue, 8RC. It’s a really lovely fit and a gorgeous colour. I’m 5’2” so it comes to my knees. I’d have preferred it slightly shorter but I am very short and Bravissimo don’t do petite lengths. The ruffle detail stops the length from being frumpy on me. I’m going to order it in black, too.

Love the blue, ruffle detail on skirt and v front and back! My usual size was big so tried on the less curvy one in black (to order blue as not in stock in store) and ended up buying both! I've worn the blue lots over the summery months and the black will look great over the colder months with black tights.

This suited my figure perfectly and hides my tummy. Bought the black one and have ordered the blue one. Can’t wait to wear them next month when I go on holiday.

I was happy with this dress, however after one wash at 30 it has shrunk very badly and is no longer wearable. I am very dissapointed and would not recommend it.

Love the design of this dress, really simple but the V-neck front and back are very flattering, especially with a tan. The fabric is non-stretch - it hangs nicer than a lot but is slightly liable to creasing. Saw the comments below from the 'hour glass' girls - the fact that this dress is cut fairly slim over the hips is precisely why it appeals to me, there aren't enough styles for those of us that are curvy up top but 'a tube of toothpaste' elsewhere!! Reason for 4 rather than 5 stars is that I find a lot of Bravissimo clothing far too short in the shoulder to waist measurement. I'm only 5'7" , don't think that's particularly tall these days? Had to cut the shoulder seam on this dress and reattach the decorative shoulder ties as adjustable ones to drop the waist, armpits and cleavage a good inch front and back. I know how to make clothes, just don't have time and go to Bravissimo hopefully for something off the shelf I don't have to get the sewing machine out to adjust! So I realise you work on averages but where possible please provide adjustable straps?!

I'm a fairly extreme hourglass, so I know that it's usually better to buy dresses with full skirts. That said, I own many Bravissimo dresses in 14 super curvy, and they fit fine. This one was extremely strange. Below the waist it fit, just about, but was very tight, while the waist and the top half of the dress were so baggy that it didn't fit at all - there must have been at least 4 inches of extra fabric there; it didn't go anywhere near my waist or upper body and it was even loose around the bust. I imagine this dress will work better on those who are less curvy; I would't recommend it for the 'shaped' figures like mine.

Bought this for a special weekend away in a smart hotel and absolutely love it. Bought 14SC and it fitted well on top (no bra straps showing) and zipped down side to be flattering on waist. I would say it needs tights (might ride up a little otherwise) and might be too short for some (I am only 5'3)-very flattering dress
