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."

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."

The dress is amazing, I

"The dress is amazing, I really love the shape, it's super flattering. Unfortunately, the neckline is too low for my full bust. If it had one more button (or if the neckline were just a few centimeters less deep), it would have been perfect for me. Unfortunately, the larger size is more comfortable around the bust/breast, but it’s too loose around my waist and hips."

My first Rixo purchase, worth

"My first Rixo purchase, worth every penny. Very flattering, floaty fabric. Low cut but not as low as I thought it would be. The button detailing makes this dress! I wore it to a wedding but I know i'll be able to dress up and down over the year, very happy!"

"I wore this to a wedding and loved the swish. I did find it a bit tricky to pair with a bra and wish it was a little more adjustable. But beautiful material and swing and looks great!"

This dress was beautiful,,a really

"This dress was beautiful,,a really lovely quality material adorned with pretty embroidery . It isn’t white though as it liked in the photos, it’s more cream colour. Sadly the bust on it was far to small for me although the rest of the dress fitted beautifully. The returns process was straight forward and I’m now awaiting my refund ."

The perfect dress I have

"The perfect dress I have been searching for, for a wedding in July. Beautiful powder blue colour and the lace makes it feel different and special. Fits perfect across the back and bust but very low cut so I need to find a plunge bra which won't show."

— Helen M. (5/5)

Fantastic dress - fits beautifully

"First dress ordered from RIXO - so was unsure about fit or quality. This dress is absolutely beautiful- and so glad I signed up to the restock alert. Clever cut - and neckline not too low (looks low on image). Just to say I’m probably not the usual RIXO demographic (I’m in my mid 50s), but this dress is super flattering and looks stunning dressed up, or down."

Have bought this dress to

"Have bought this dress to wear to my brothers wedding and I feel fantastic - AND I am newly post partum and breastfeeding. This dress is beautifully made and the colour is STUNNING. I’m so glad I splashed out on something from Rixo and would like to thank the designers for continueing to offer button down styles. They are so hard to find and make breastfeeding at formal occasions much easier."
