The Luna Dress
I was initially hesitant to purchase Luna as I was becoming conscious of my middle age spread. So I poured over Laura's advice in an earlier email titled 8 Things To Know About Luna and bought a size up. And Laura was spot on, the dress still sat well on the shoulders/bust and skimmed nicely over the midsection. Also surprisingly the Iris colour wasn't overpowering at all as I thought it might be, and it blends nicely with the rest of my wardrobe. Thank you too for the celebratory discount, a further surprise that helped me enormously this season being on an ever tightening budget.
I loved the Iris colour but wasn’t sure on the fit when I first saw this dress. I decided to take a chance on it and I love it - the material is really forgiving and it’s so flattering. Laura’s sizing advice was spot on 😊
This is my third shortlist knit dress and definitely my favourite! I love the flattering shape on these dresses, they are so comfortable but somehow show off all the right places! 💚 the pistachio colour is gorgeous!
I'm lucky enough to own several The Shortlist pieces already, so I'm used to them always being great quality and immaculate fit, but this dress can even accomodate my - quite big - baby bump, which is just crazy! I ordered my usual size 8 and was prepared to (hopefully!) being able to wear it after baby's born, but it still fits and actually looks really sweet, but elegant as a maternity dress too. The fabric feels premium and it's soo comfortable.
So if you worry about whether it would fit you, just don't! Order it and enjoy looking and feeling great in your Luna dress!
This is my eighth Shortlist knit dress. It’s as flattering as all my previous dresses and the pistachio colour feels so fresh. I also love the subtle boat neckline.
