YESNO Women Dresses Casual Plus Size Bohemian Short Sleeve

I am always wary buying clothes on line but was attracted to these dresses when browsing through Google suggestions. They had lots of good reviews and the photos were very flattering. The style was just what I was looking for as I am a ‘hippy’ size 16 and wanted something different from my usual cut-offs and tunic top for summer. I chose the blue floral, and have now also ordered a pink one. The fabric is lovely and soft, quite fine, but not see through. There is a little stretch. At 5’4″ the length is down to my ankles, but that’s fine with me. I bought a size Large after looking at the comprehensive size charts and review comments and it fits perfectly- neat across the top and floating out over the rest! And as an added bonus – it has pockets!! There are lots of different patterns and I have put a couple more on my shopping list.

It is a lovely dress – I opted for Mustard and Blues abstract design. Never owned anything with mustard in it but it went so well with the blues I was tempted and am so glad as they go so well together and plenty of fabric to show the colours and pattern off. I am a 22 but medium frame so expected to do some altering when I ordered 3x – usually shoulders are too wide and skirts too long to fit my large bust but this fitted my shoulders perfectly so no alterations were needed and I was amazed that the skirt just went to the floor so with even the smallest heel it just brushed my feet. The fabric is lovely, light yet nice quality with a soft feel ( even after washing), no see-through even in very bright direct sunlight and so well constructed it took a bit for me to find the pockets as they were set in perfectly as any good dressmaker would do – I am a hobbyist dressmaker so understand the basics and know what to look for in construction and this dress passes all the checks. I could not make the dress for the money I paid unless I went for a cheaper fabric – I paid 22.99 as there was a discount the day I bought it. I actually wore it for a wedding (health problems stopped me from making my own, cut out but not sewn, sadly) with nude kitten heel pumps – 2in heels, so no tripping over the hem and a lovely yellow fancy hat and it was perfect with people asking where I got the dress, perfect as a guest for a summer non-formal wedding.

Price has gone back up but I still think if quality and care of construction is there on other patterns the dresses are still worth it and I will buy at least one more.

Update – In May 2024, I bought the deep pink one and now, in June 2024 have bought the navy one – I adore these dresses. Last year’s one is still as good as new. Perfect for when hot like today ( am wearing the Pink one as its loose but doesn’t look like you are wearing a sack, so comfortable and air gets around your body yet looks good if at home, work, or even out for lunch or even a casual meal and drinks in the evening.
