I absolutely love this dress.
So much that after loosing weight recently I bought it again in a smaller size.
I've had so many complaints when wearing it.
Beautiful dress!
Did you buy your normal size?
Usual size
True to size
Too small
Just right
Too big
Extra size comments
It is a maxi dress so very long especially if you're ony 5ft 2 like me.
It’s lush, definitely can order a size or two down from your usual size, double lined skirt and most importantly; pockets! Love this dress and it’s a staple on my wardrobe already
The dress looks exactly as it did on the website. The material is very good quality – thicker than I expected, which helps the dress to sit nicely. Fits too size and is very flattering.
I bought this half price in the sale after seeing it and liking it in the summer! It’s so well made - a nice heavy fabric and flattering fit. The shirting is really lovely and has some stretch. I’m a size UK12 with 34G chest and a 12 fits well. I’m wearing it now with boots and a cardigan but know it will be a staple in my wardrobe through the seasons!
Cute dress but comes up large
This beautiful dress is the very best in all aspects. The look, the feel, the sizing, the comfort , the pleasure of wearing an OB dress which has been made with love. Thank you OB, this will be packed and worn with pride on my next holiday.
Love this dress, really stylish and so comfortable to wear. Easy to dress up and down.

I’m normally a size 10 but sized up after reading the reviews, just in case. However the waistband then sat too low. So had to return

The dress was lovely, but a little tight across the bust.
Fabric and fit is good. Slightly oversized sleeves. Great day dress for all year round.
great, delivered in time. a perfect dress for summer, colours are vibrant, get one size smaller for a better fit.

The dress is gorgeous. Fabric is thick enough that it is not see through. I love the shape of the dress and the design.

A beautiful dress. The material is thicker than I thought which is a positive as I purchased it in the sale to wear in autumn. It's a lovely colour and can be dressed up with boots or down with trainers.
Excellent dress, nice quality material, comfortable to wear. Can wear dresssed up or casual a very versatile dress.

Lovely material, comfortable & well made
Bonus that I got it in the sale but well worth the original price too. Comfortable and just the style to suit my body shape.

Sizing too large
This dress is lovely, very well made and excellent quality fabric etc. I'm a uk 14/16 38FF and a uk 16 fits me perfectly! If you're in between sizes I would size down if you're flat chested and up if like me you have a large bust!

Perfect fit, great quality, would defo shop at oliver bonas again
Fabric felt a bit scratchy and size a little too big for me so returned.
It didn't fit so had to return - but dress is lovely it just didn't suit me unfortunately

Gorgeous dress, comfy and flattering. I am usually a size 12 but this dress has a lot of stretch. I followed the guidance in the reviews and sized down and it is the perfect size.
My love for gingham, in my fav colour, my favourite sleeve, what can I say I was in love, I had to buy the top as well! I wore it for my birthday party! So many compliments! Love it!
Love this dress, winter weight fabric, bought in the sale
I absolutely love this dress, everything about it is perfect - the quality, the cut, the fabric and the fit
Ideal to dress up or down. Had lots of compliments. Would totally recommend.
Had lots of compliments on this dress, very flattering!
Lovely dress but too much material - way too large.
Perfect dress for everyday wear.
Beautiful dress true to size
Love this dress! Perfect for autumn and colder season layering as the colour has a darker bit of red in it. The gathered bodice also makes it warmer, but I'll still definitely be able to wear this in warmer weather. Really lovely quality fabric, great pockets! However I hadn't realised the only bit of elastic in the bodice is at the waistband, as the bodice is actually smocked, not shirred, so it has some stretch but it's not fully elasticated. Make sure to order your true size is you want a fitted bodice.

Great fit, nicely cut, comfortable fabric
I absolutely love this dress. It’s such good quality and fits beautifully. I would say if you’re between sizes then size down because it has quite a bit of stretch. The length was just below my ankle and I’m 5ft 2 so I’ve had it taken up. Overall though a fabulously made dress that would serve you well all year round.
Lovely dress, perfect for autumnal days.
Very good quality dress, nice fit, a little long for me but will be easy to take up
Previously bought the same style dress in leopard print so I knew this would be a winner! Love the red gingham material.

Beautiful and comfortable dress. Looks great with trainers. Love the pockets.
Oliver Bonas Customer02/09/25
Perfect for dressing up or dressing down. Perfect for warm days as material is cool but also it could be worn in Winter with boots and coat. Very versatile dress that won't date.
I returned the 14 and purchased a 12… lots of room in this dress.. lovely quality as always… my favourite shop at the moment ☺️
Love this dress so slimming and washes well with no ironing needed
