Maria Ruffle Dress - Cherry
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.

A great dress to wear around the house but also be “ready to go” for many occasions. I also have it in the black. I’m about a size 8 and I selected the size Small. Great and comfortable fit. Flattering and versatile as mentioned.

    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.
