Shoppers that have already recieved it have said they ‘love it’ and the material it is made from is ‘really nice’. One customer left a review writing: “Very smart comfortable dress. I’m waiting for an upcoming special day to wear it.”
Another person said: “This is a great style for us pear shaped girls, it can hide a multitude of lumps & bumps with its pleated skirt. I’ve dropped one star for the voluminous sleeves…I love an oversized sleeve but these are especially oversized however I can live with it & love the dress overall.”
But, the fit of the dress was not for everyone and some found it to be too large. A third shopper said: “I thought the dress was lovely, well made, nice design. Just way too large 14 was huge and 16 didn’t bother trying on. Unfortunately had to send back, disappointed.”
You can get the Phase Eight Lyric Geo Pleated Midi Dress here for £59. Elsewhere, a cheaper option would be to consider the Print Jersey Midi Shirt Dress from Cotton Traders for £39. It has a similar look and shoppers say it is ‘very flattering’ with an ‘attractive pattern’.
If you prefer a pop of colour, Next Love & Roses Green Plisse Midi Dress is £56 and has an ‘eye-catching colour combination’ It made one shopper feel ‘taller and slimmer’, however, they would have liked a ‘thin belt to complete the dress’.
