I’m very happy with this dress. The fabric is super comfortable and seems to be a cotton blend, which you can really feel. I absolutely love it. The quality and workmanship are excellent as well — there are no loose threads at all, and it looks exactly like it does in the pictures.
The only small downside is that the waist ribbon tends to slip down when you try to use it. For me, though, this is not a big issue. I’ll simply have my tailor add two small loops or something similar to the sides of the dress to keep the ribbon in place.
For size reference, in case this helps anyone:
I am 170 cm tall, my waist is about 74–75 cm, and my bust is 86 cm.
I ordered the long version in size L, and it fits wonderfully. Strictly speaking, the shoulder width is a few centimeters too wide for me, but that actually works out well in my case because I have slightly longer arms, so the sleeves end up fitting better. You also cannot really notice that the shoulder seam sits a little wider because of the ruffles, so I would not worry about that.
Another great point is that you can tighten the dress with the ribbon under the bust, which makes it very adjustable to different body shapes. I chose size L mainly because of my height, shoulder width, and arm length, and it fits me perfectly. My bust measurement is actually a little small for this size, but that is not a problem either, since the ribbon makes the dress adjustable. Because of that, I think this dress can work well for a variety of bust sizes.
I hope this helpedsomeone. I would recommend this dress wholeheartedly. In the picture i am wearing a long A line petticoat under the dress also from this site. (Aurora&Ariel 78cm A line cotton lininh petticoat in black)🖤
