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!"

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."

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 ."
