I'm normally a navy and cream sort of woman but I'm 62 and decided it was time to be a bit braver. So pleased I took the leap. The dress is even more vivid in person and the cut is genuinely flattering, not too clingy, not a sack. My husband actually whistled when I came downstairs, which hasn't happened in about twenty years.

Such a lovely shade of blue and the linen is gorgeous quality, proper weight, not the thin stuff that creases the moment you sit down. Fits beautifully over the bust which is always my problem area. Will definitely be ordering more.

My husband bought me the £100 gift card for my 65th and I've been saving it for something special. Settled on this navy dress for our anniversary dinner and I couldn't be happier. Felt like a million pounds wearing it.

I had been looking at this dress for weeks before I finally treated myself, and it didn't disappoint. The length is just right (I'm 5'6") and it skims over the bits I'd rather not draw attention to. Wore it with a cardigan for a day out in town and felt properly nice for the first time in ages.

Wore this for a summer drinks party in the garden and had three women ask me where it was from. The print is beautiful and it's such a comfortable fit, the elasticated waist is a godsend at my age. Came beautifully packaged too, which always makes opening the parcel a little treat in itself.

What a lovely blouse. I bought it for our golden wedding lunch in the garden and it was perfect, light enough for a warm day but with proper sleeves, which is what I always struggle to find. The print is so pretty and the colours haven't faded a bit after washing. Very pleased.

Bought this on a whim and I'm so glad I did. It's the easiest thing to throw on — looks pulled together but feels like nothing. I've worn it twice already, once with sandals for lunch and once with a denim jacket for the school run with the grandchildren. Lovely quality cotton.
