Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers based on customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

How does the Maria Ruffle Dress fit, and is it flattering?

Fit and flattery are the strongest themes in the reviews, with 12 out of 13 customers mentioning that the dress fits well, skims the body, or falls nicely.

Based on 12 customer reviews
Does the sizing run true, or should I size down?

Most reviewers found the dress fit perfectly in their chosen size, including customers mentioning size Small, size 8, and size 10. However, one reviewer who bought a size S felt they could possibly have sized down because of the fabric’s give. If you are between sizes or prefer a closer fit, sizing down may be worth considering; otherwise, customers generally seem happy with their usual size.

Based on 4 customer reviews
Is the dress suitable for shorter customers, or will it need hemming?

Two reviewers mentioned shortening the dress, including one who described herself as a “shortie” and said she had to have it shortened. Another customer shortened hers but noted she could have worn it as it was. A 170cm reviewer said the dress fit beautifully and skimmed the body, so shorter customers may want to factor in possible hemming depending on their preferred length.

I just love my Maria Ruffle dress. It’s so light and comfy and hugs my curves in a flattering way. I’ve been looking for a black dress like this for years and finally found it!

I am very happy with my recent purchase - the Maria Ruffle Dress in Cherry. The fabric is soft and falls nicely over my waist & hips. The cut of the fabric makes it very flattering, and the ruffle on the front gives it a bit of sexiness. I am going to enjoy wearing this dress and expect to get a lot of compliments.

    Poor fit

    The proportions of this dress are so wrong for someone that is 5’2”. The skirt ends up starting at your hips. It looks terrible. Even though all tags are on the dress they refuse to accept a return.

    The quality of the fabric is poor too on this dress- way too light.

    Sadly not a good fit

    Unfortunately the dresses are both a bit too tight on me and quite long.

    The models showing these two styles are obviously very slim with small busts.

    It would be good to have a range of body shapes and sizes modelling your clothes.
