Reviews

Absolutely delighted with this dress.

"Absolutely delighted with this dress. The cut is actually quite generous and very flattering for a plus-sized lady! I love the tulip type sleeve. I am going to add an extra button and loop to the bottom so the opening is not so high for a little Mother of the Groom modesty. It is low cut, but manageable!."

This is a lovely dress,

"This is a lovely dress, I bought it to wear to a wedding and It looks beautiful. The colours are subtle and I feel very elegant wearing it with a jacket and heels. The v neck is rather low so I had to wear a camisole underneath for modesty reason. Perhaps Rixo can consider adding optional modesty strip ."

Love the dress. It’s so

"Love the dress. It’s so elegant, comfy and suitable for an English countryside wedding. Would also definitely wear it for the races in the future xx"

I have had so many

"I have had so many compliments wearing this dress! It has a very flattering shape, and the fabric is really light and floats around you as you move/walk~ Definitely considering getting another one in another colour!"

Variation between dress fits of

"Variation between dress fits of the same size - tried on 2x size 6 in this style and they were slightly different fits. Size 8 was too large However, really lovely dress, top layer of fabric is very dainty"

I’m 4 months postpartum and

"I’m 4 months postpartum and haven’t felt super confident in my body. I had my best friend’s wedding and was dreading finding something to wear. However, this dress made me feel a bit more like me. The fit was flattering, I’d say the sizing is slightly generous but in a feel good way 😅. The material feels premium and hangs beautifully. It didn’t cling anywhere or become static etc. The neckline is feminine and the buttons were very handy for breastfeeding. The length was good, more of a maxi on me as I’m 5ft4. The polka dot pattern feels timeless in this style and I hope to wear it to many more events! This dress made me feel the best I’d felt for the last year, thanks Rixo 🧡"

This dress is simply stunning

"This dress is simply stunning to wear, touch and look at. The fabric drapes over the body so well. I unfortunately had to buy a size up as my size had sold out but I would say it’s fits about right if you can get your size and I’ll just have it altered. Two slight downsides which is why I’ve marked it down, the fabric in the flesh is quite different to how it looks online. I know it can be hard to photograph those nuances but I have another Rixo dress and the fabric was what I expected on that occasion. The second issue is due to the nature of the fabric the dress arrived with a number of pulls in it which I don’t expect for the price point. Overall I would buy the style again but would be more mindful of the fabric. I am excited to wear it at the races in a few weeks!"

Beautiful dress and gorgeous colours.

"Beautiful dress and gorgeous colours. Fits snugly on the chest area so ideally needing a good plunge bra. Enhances the curves and creates a smaller waist. Ideal for a wedding as a guest or mother of the bride/groom. I just wish that Rixo did nice jackets that can be worn with their beautiful dresses and perhaps nice camisoles to wear under the dress particularly as the V neck seems to be rather low."

— Dalia M. (5/5)

I love this dress, it

"I love this dress, it is going to be worn at my daughters wedding in July. Little bit low at the front but thats ok a little stitch will do the job."

— Jayne B. (5/5)

Beautiful soft and floaty dress

"Beautiful soft and floaty dress which hangs beautifully and makes you feel very feminine. The colour is gorgeous allowing for any colour accessories however and I wore it to Chelsea registry office for my friends wedding with a cream handbag and cream shoes which match the buttons. I have never bought RIXO so before but now I will definitely buy again."
