Customer Reviews
Love this dress, very comfortable,
The perfect dress for me at the moment over half way pregnant. Extremely comfortable and oversized so plenty of room as I keep growing my bump!
This dress has become a staple in my wardrobe. I have three and wear them all weekly. They are an oversized fit so I would say it “runs large”. I am generally a size 20 but can be up to a 24 in the bust, however I wear a L/XL in this dress, and could even size down again, however I like the extra room around my bust as it’s easier for BF access.
Can easily be dressed up or down. Love these dresses.
This dress is an absolute dream for mums. It’s unbelievably comfy, so easy to throw on, and somehow makes you look instantly put together in literally seconds. The fit is so flattering and it’s honestly such a gorgeous, stunning dress. Definitely a must have!

Measuring your body: Use a soft tape measure directly against your body. Measure your waist at the narrowest point and your hips approximately 20 cm below your natural waist.
Compare to a favourite piece: Measure a similar garment you already own and love, then compare to our size guide for the most accurate fit.
Between sizes? We generally suggest sizing down as our clothing is designed to be flowy. Measurements may vary by 2–3 cm as each garment is measured by hand.

The Three Measurements That Matter
Place the tape close under the armhole at the fullest part of your bust. Measure from side seam, around and back to the same side seam.
Keep the tape parallel to the floor — snug but not tight.
Measure at the narrowest point — usually 2–3 cm above your belly button. Place the tape from side seam, around and back.
Exhale naturally before taking the measurement.
Place the tape approximately 20 cm below your natural waistline at the fullest part of your hips. Measure all the way around.
Stand with feet together for the most accurate result.
