“I bought this dress some years ago when the style was called Valentina, before Igigi revamped their website etc. It arrived exactly as pictured and I love it dearly. No matter when or where I wear it, to cocktail parties or ballroom dancing or formal dinners out or presenting at end of year School Speech Night, the dress gathers compliments everywhere it goes. It has got to the stage where friends ask me to wear the dress when I go out because they love it too. The dress fits beautifully, washes up well and looks fabulous. My favourite dress, bar none, that I have ever owned.”
“I am an apple shape size 22/24. Love this dress. Great to have a nice modern shape that's fitted up top. I love the cut of the bottom, nice and straight and not too frumpy. The fabric feels really nice and it's great that it's lined. Love the colours/ print.”
“Very good quality and cut. Form flattering! Only issue was the deep V. I loved the dress so much that I altered the straps a bit so the top wouldn't be so revealing”
“It was a nice dress, but way too long for me (I'm 5'2"). I am also around a 24/26 size, and I ordered the 26/28. The chest area was extremely big on me, and the part of the dress with the designs on it could have been tighter as well. Nice dress, just not for me.”
“Got this dress for evenings in mexico. All the girls at work love the dresses i have bought so far ( all 6 of them), especially this one! Its comfy and flattering and fits perfect. If i had to pick one thig wrong, i did go to get the length taken up slightly and dressmaker did say it was more an uneven seam than the need for adjusting length.”
“I am 5 6", 235 lbs, an oval shape and carry most of my weight in my tummy and rear. I have been having some problems with fit with Igigi the last few times I have tried on items from them. According to the size charts, I am an 18/20, but it is usually a tad big and unflattering so I ordered this dress in a 14/16. It is snug, but it fits (which is perfect because I am in the process of losing weight) The 18/20 would have looked sloppy. Also, in the past few years, I find that Igigi dresses fall too long on me. Finally a dress that hits exactly where it's supposed to, right at/slightly below the knee, for this style. Hope this helps for anyone trying to figure out sizing on this dress._x000D_

As for the style, print and quality of the dress, it is beautiful! I bought this for my 40th birthday in August and can't wait to wear it. The belt that comes with it is a very odd bronzy colour that I don't care for, would have preferred a gold one Also, it does have a side zipper at the waist. It is one of those very small, plastic teeth kind that gets stuck right at the smallest part of the waist, this is with the dress NOT on my body, so needless to say getting the zipper done up while it's on my body is impossible. For a dress that's $170, I would have hoped for a little more expense put into a detail like that.”
“this is the first item ive ever purchased from this company and i love it. It is comfortable and is great to move in. As a plus size woman it is hard to find flattering dresses but this dress gives you shape in all the right places. The fabric for the dress is amazing and unique. I would say the belt that comes with the dress is odd but the dress looks good with or without it so its not a big deal. As for finding the right size i took my measurments according to the size chart provided and my dress came in the perfect fit.”
“Received my dress for an upcoming wedding. Fabulous dress and the material was lovely. The zip is a bit weak but a dressmaker said many dresses have the same issue. Great value buying from the states but then have to pay duty when arrives in Ireland but well worth it as nothing as nice around here. Have purchased a good few dresses from igigi now and love them.”
