"Just gorgeous"
This arrived this morning, and I am in love. It?s exactly what I?ve been looking for for years - it?s long, elegant, well-made and absolutely beautiful. The fabric is light and cool, moves easily and just flows. The colours are just something else - I?ve never seen a gown like it. I specifically wanted to review as I had been worried about the sizing. I am a UK size 14-16 and currently pregnant, so was looking for a gown to wear in hospital. Having done all the measurements I was worried this would be too small and nearly didn?t purchase. It is plenty big enough to wrap around, and once bump is huge then it can be worn open and still looks lovely. If you are hesitating - just go for it. Such a talented woman - thank you for my beautiful gown. I am already hunting for some more and they would make truly beautiful gifts for any mother-to-be, bride-to-be, anyone really!
