A woman in the Novara - Black short-sleeved, button-down lace dress with red strappy sandals, gold jewelry, and a patterned handbag stands against a plain light background.
The Novara - Black is a black lace short-sleeve dress with a V-neckline, fitted bodice, flared skirt, and large round buttons down the front.

The dress that looks like it has a story to tell. And a plan or two to get to.

The Parma - Multi beaded necklace showcases red, blue, brown, and white beads with a gold spiral shell pendant adorned with small colored gemstones, elegantly displayed on a white background.
Salene - Gold is a gold ring featuring a textured, fan-shaped shell design, beautifully embodying the essence of shell jewellery on a plain white background.
The Lysia - Tan is a brown woven tote bag with two braided handles, reminiscent of vintage woven bags by Dragon Diffusion, displayed against a plain white background.
The Esmeray - Tan is an open-toe heeled sandal with a slim stiletto heel, wide cutout strap adorned with gold studs, and a thin toe strap, shown on a plain white background.

Dress was beautiful made, the

"Dress was beautiful made, the fabric was heavier than it looked so I decided to return as its been such a warm summer, I wanted something lighter. The fit was very good though. Would have been great for our usual british weather but at the price didn't feel I could keep it."

I absolutely love this Rixo

"I absolutely love this Rixo dress. It's so flattering & beautifully cut. The fabric drapes well & moves elegantly when I walk. A special dress which will be worn for a very special occasion."

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 ."

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 🧡"

Love the embroidery. Fits well

"Love the embroidery. Fits well and beautiful colours."

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!"
