One happy customer, reported by Liverpool Echo, said: "A beautiful little dress, lovely fit and easy to just pull on over your head. Ideal for summer and taking on your holidays, nice and cool and lightweight so great for packing into your suitcase and doesn't crease", while a second said: "I struggle to find dresses that are not too clingy and ones that fit well. [But there is] plenty of room in this dress to cover your bumps. Very pleased with this dress".
A third added: "Dress is gorgeous, washes well and is very flattering." A fourth said: "Really nice good quality dress. True to size and perfect length. Lovely for the summer and such a reasonable price", however the one one-star review said the dress was not suitable as she is 5'3 and the dress was too long for her.
