Wear everywhere dress

What a wonderful dress, so flattering and easy to wear. The design is everything, it’s so perfectly proportioned. It’s a real staple piece to wear again & again. At 4’11’’ I never thought I’d find a midi dress that fits me so perfectly.

Olivia (Olive)

Absolutely love this dress, the fit is perfect and the material feels good quality and cozy. I love the colour and can see me wearing this for many years to come. It’s my new favourite dress. Thanks Laura 😊

Flattering fit!

I was very unsure about the Olivia dress when I placed my order but after wearing for the first time I am delighted with my purchase. I chose the charcoal shade which is perfect, not too dark, not too light. The quality of the fabric is excellent and best of all the cut is fantastic, gliding over the lumps and bumps around my tummy so really comfortable to wear. The sleeves were a teeny bit long on me, but I tend to push sleeves up anyway so this isn’t an issue. I styled Olivia with thick charcoal tights and my grey suede and silver flat ankle boots for an informal drinks party with friends.
PS for reference I am 67 years young so the Shortlist clothes are great for all ages.

Gorgeous fit!

So pleased with my purchase, the fit is super flattering and the feel is really comfortable, can't wait to wear it to my next event. My only complaint is if I should now get it in the olive colour too, thanks Laura, one happy customer :)

Perfect

I bought Olivia at the first opportunity and she hasn't failed me. I wore her last week for the first time and received so many compliments! I'm pregnant and in my third trimester and she fits just as well with my bump as she surely will without - everyone just thought I was wearing an incredibly chic maternity dress so I can't wait to keep wearing her postpartum! Her fabric feels really lovely and she's not too clingy, and the colour is just gorgeous.
