Customer Reviews
So happy this arrived before a work trip to Italy! Perfect colour and fit. I love the hemline and all the details in the design. Uploading screenshots from a video as can’t upload the video itself!!
Beautifully made with soft comfortable fabric in a gorgeous colour. It fits perfectly, makes me feel good and I’ll wear it forever.
Wore my Cobalt Phoebe dress for the first time last night to a wine tasting event and I felt fabulous in her.The fit is perfect ,the fabric top quality and the colour is beautiful. She is sold as a sundress but she felt perfect for the evening too in this wonderful weather we are having.So glad I bought her as know I will wear her for many years to come
My jaw dropped when I looked in the mirror when trying on this dress - Phoebe is so incredibly flattering, with the column style skirt and fitted shirred bodice, and the colours (I bought both!) are just gorgeous, so unique while still looking on trend. The stretchy bodice and tie-shoulders make this really flexible to wear different bras, bikini or swimming costume, or even no bra, depending on what suits you. Oh, and she has pockets. What more could you ask for??
I first discovered Laura and the Shortlist about 2 days after her original founding linkedin post went viral.
I've been watching, wishing and waiting patiently ever since, for the day I could press 'add to basket'!
The beautiful Phoebe dress arrived today, I tried it on and OH MY GOODNESS. WOW! I could feel the premium quality as I slid into it. A gorgeous cobalt blue, the beautiful shirred bust...and the best part is the length. I can wear any shoes with this dress. I will no longer be required to find something with a heel to wear with any kind of decent long summer dress. A dream come true!! Already have it lined up for two occasions this fortnight (photos will be provided). Thank you Laura!!
