Whats good: Lovely colour and fabric is thick and heavy, bought for £18 in the sale (was £75 full price).
What's not so good: When I washed it at 30 (as stated in the instructions) the fabic changed to look like seersucker fabric all wrinkle and the hem looked bad. I ironed it and it looks a bit better but not like it did pre wash! I had a bought a size 8 smaller than my usual size 10 and it was still quite roomy but it might fit better now it has shrunk! I will try washing cold next time and maybe iron while damp. I would have been very disappointed if I had paid more than £18. I'm not a fan of wear it once fast fashion so I'm not happy that the dress did look ruined after washing it.

Good colour and material but the sleeves were way too big. Had to return it.
Oliver Bonas Customer16/04/25
I got a lot of compliments when I wore it to a party, I wore it with boots. These days when it's been warmer, I wore it with high heels and it looked great too.

The colour and fabric were great but the style and sizing were insane. The dress in size 8 was so huge I could have wrapped twice in it. The style was also weird, the sleeves were too balloon-y.

Really unusual shape. I bought my normal size 12 and was very big. I returned it and bought the size 10 it was still big, I found it a very unflattering shape. The sleeves were baggy and the skirt had a swing and was quite long. Unfortunately had to return, which is a pity as it has a lovely colour and fabric.

Sadly had to send it back. I'd already ordered a size smaller seeing the other reviews but it still seemed very heavy and just hung off me. The sleeves were particularly bad, they were very long and extremely loose, not a good look for my 5"2 frame unfortunately.

Oliver Bonas Customer07/09/24
It looks different on the website. The size is very large and there is no shape really, so not very complementary. Heavy, good a,terminal. But very shiny. Hard to know when I would wear given the satin finish...which looks like special occasion but shape doesn't.

I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts on the Satin Tie Waist Purple Mini Dress. The dress is stunning and elegant, perfect for various occasions. The tie waist design adds a lovely touch, and the color is vibrant. It's a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to others!

I usually love Oliver Bonas but this dress was an absolute fail! Nice looking dress but a bit wrinkly out of the packaging so I thought I’d wash and wear. Washed at 30, came out ruined, looks like crepe paper. Disappointing.
