Freya Dress

Its beautiful
Lovely colours
Long
Beautiful material

I have been admiring the Freya dress for ages but the original price was a bit too expensive but now in the Sale i wasted no time in ordering both colourways, the blue in medium and the red in small. I am a size 12 and found both fitted perfectly and although i am 5ft 9 ins tall they are very long but are so flattering it's worth the faff of taking a few inches off the hem.

Had my eye on this dress for some time. I managed to restist it until this week, mainly because I'm not sue how many opportunities I will have to wear it. However with our Sapphire Wedding Anniversary & OH's 70th both in the next 6 months I couldn't resist any longer. It arrived this morning with the Marianne Fringed Cardigan and I love them both. Beautiful quality, the dress flows as you move, very comfortable to wear and virtually no creases from packing. It comes to life with the addition of silver jewelry and for me I need to wear red lipstick. It is long - at 5ft 8 1/2 it is a maxi on me.

This has turned out to be a real bargain for me at 5ft 8ins. I can see why it hasn't sold as well as it should have done and now being sold off, because it is extremely long - which it does say in the information - and on someone like me who doesn't really wear dresses, it is great to have a frock that is long enough, with long sleeves, elegant, and doesn't show lumps and bumps of my age, and simply hangs beautifully to about three inches above my ankle. For someone short, I would still recommend grabbing this bargain for just over �40 from �115 if you like frocks, and just get it shortened - which is very easy to do if you sew, and very easy to get done professionally. Probably have enough material to make a matching infinity scarf too. One is never able to lengthen. So out of all the stuff that has had to go back with sizing all over the place, this is great buy, and for the autumn in my true Autumn colours.

There is nothing wrong with this dress other than at 5ft 8ins tall, this came up as ankle length. To make it look like the mid-calf length on the 'skinny model', I would have to get at least five inches cut off either M or L. I bought both together, and I cannot fault the style, the Autumn colours, the print, and the fact it is of a weighted fabric that is so forgiving. It wpukd cost �30 in West Yorkshire to get this shortened, and so puts the price up enormously for something only worn occasionally that would not date. If it happens to get reduce again to cover some of the alteration ciost, I would buy it in M. Had it been just two inches too long, I could cope and would have perhaps turned it up myself but not at least 5 inches.
