Lovely dress comforting and very flattering i ordered a 14 but could have gone down a size

Hi Debbie, thank you so much for sharing your review! You look absolutely gorgeous - the Gardenia Midi was made for you!! Enjoy taking it on many adventures to come. Love, Forsoul x

I love the fabric and the flowy style - I bought the XS which is very tight on my breasts - so maybe size up. I think a tie at the sides to tie at the back or a belt of the same fabric would be a nice addition to add more shape if you want.
If I bought again I would get a s ( normally size 8)

Great item and customer service

I bought the Gardenia Black Midi Dress and am based in the UK and I love it! I was sceptical ordering from the UK from a brand abroad but it was surprisingly smooth and fast. Yes it’s an expensive dress but the pattern is hand printed, the fit wonderful and because it’s not a UK brand I love that I won’t see everyone around town wearing it! I did have a slight issue with my item but the customer service were fantastic and shipped out a new one immediately free of charge, so top notch service in my opinion!

Wore this to a 103 degree wedding 6 months pregnant!

Wore this to a 103 degree wedding 6 months pregnant and could not love this dress more. So flattering, excellent (breathable) material and so comfortable. I received so many compliments. Can still wear it at 7 months pregnant and hoping to get a little more use out of it during this pregnancy. If not, I know it’ll still be wonderful postpartum! Buy the dress!

Love the dress. I was very hesitate to purchase as I have 18E bust. Love that the main dress part isn't bias cut and doesn't cling to your body. Very happy with my purchase. It is a shame the straps were not adjustable.

Love it

What a great dress! Fits like a glove. Usually dresses without adjustable straps sit too low on me, but this dress is perfect. It is elasticised along the back, so I would imagine fits larger busted ladies too. The length is just right too. Got a compliment from my hubby straight away. Fast delivery.

Love this dress! It can worn dressed up or more casual. Also great for short girls. I am 5'1 and didn't need to hem it. It does run a little big.

Can’t wait to wear this dress!

After umming and ahhhing on this dress, I finally bit the bullet and ordered it for my holiday coming up. It fits beautifully, is a beautiful light fabric, and will look amazing dressed up or down.

Hi Megan, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovey review. It has truly made our day! Lots of love, Forsoul x
