Really love this dress, very comfortable, and looks good with and without a jacket.
Store owner replied: Thank you, Linda-Jane! 🖤 We're so happy you love your Daphine Midi Dress. It's wonderful to hear it’s comfortable and versatile enough to style with or without a jacket. It looks wonderful on you! 😊✨
Its a little bit shorter than what I thought it was going to be but it feels nice on. I have since ordered another dress but a maxi this time.
Store owner replied: Thank you, Gayle 😊 Glad you like the dress and excited you’ve found another one. Maxi dresses are always a great choice! 👗✨You look beautiful.
Another gorgeous dress from Always Alice, your dresses have become my favourite. Just so comfortable & beautiful designs. Love them!
Store owner replied: This is great to hear!! You look beautiful Sandra. 🌸🥰
Such a flattering dress. I'm no stick figure... but this dress makes me feel like I look OK in it. It's comfy. The sleeves are great. It's a really lovely dress.
Store owner replied: Thank you, Wendy! 😊 We're so happy to hear how much you love your Daphine Midi Dress! 🖤 It's wonderful that you found it flattering, comfortable, and easy to wear. Thanks for sharing your lovely feedback, and enjoy feeling fabulous in it! ✨🥰💕
Love this dress. Wore it to a family dinner recently. The only problem was that it was still very long on me. I must be shrinking!! I took it up by about 7cms though and it is perfect now. Very comfortable fit on my apple shaped figure and fabric feels lovely on. The taupe coloured spots are not something I have worn previously... so I was pleasantly surprised to see how it looks on my now older body. Being quite grey haired now I guess my choice of colour in clothes can vary as well. Lots of compliments from family. I am now going to buy some black boots to wear with it in our cooler months here.
Store owner replied: Thank you Susan. 😊 So glad you loved the dress and got so many compliments! We love that it worked beautifully for you and your style 🖤✨
As usual the size and fit is perfect, excellent quality and service
Lovely dress and bit long for me very comfortable in hindsight l probably should have bought smaller size only because of my short body otherwise Lovely
Store owner replied: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review 🩷💐 We appreciate your feedback 🥰
It’s a beautiful dress. I accidentally bought a size too big, but I decided to wear it anyway, as in winter I can wear tights under and a cardi over. Fixed! So pretty. I’ll order another in my size!
Store owner replied: Thank you Maureen 😊 So glad you found a way to make it work—it sounds lovely styled for winter! Can’t wait for your next order 💖✨
I now have 4 dresses and I love every single one. The fit is fabulous and they make me feel feminine, and are lovely and cool to wear. I would highly recommend the midi dresses to anyone. You won’t be disappointed
Store owner replied: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review 🥰💐 We're thrilled you love your Daphine dress 🌸🩷
I love both of the dresses. I ironed them both before folding them and putting them into a small travel case and heading to Melbourne for the weekend. Once there, I hung both dresses and they were perfect to wear the next day without ironing. They were so cool, comfortable and relaxed to wear and I received a few lovely comments. Will buy more eventually.
Store owner replied: Thank you Elizabeth 😊 Love that they travelled so well and were ready to wear—perfect for a Melbourne getaway! So glad you felt comfy and got lovely compliments too 💛
fits very well and so comfortable easy to iron

The wrong size was originally sent……but Renee fixed everything for me and even expressed posted it back to me so I had the dress when I went away. Love the dress looks great on me as well 😉
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for this fantastic review Janelle. We're so happy you had the dress to go away. 🥰🌸

Received my dress last week - washed it and put it on and it is very flattering and true to size. Just love it and cannot wait to wear it once the weather gets a bit warmer. Highly recommend this style as it is very stylish and as I said above very flattering.

love the fabric of this dress.
Store owner replied: Thank you, Leanne! 🥰 We’re so glad you love the beautiful fabric of the Daphine Dress and that you found the fit true to size! 💕✨
Love the fit, and the look. But the finish of sewing a little lacklustre.
Store owner replied: Thank you Jessica! So glad you love the fit and look—thanks for your feedback on the finish, we’ll take it on board. 👗✨😊
Perfect fit fabric great not too creasy cons8dering rayon. Lovely cool dress
Store owner replied: Thank you Ruth! So happy the fit and fabric are perfect, and that your dress feels lovely and cool. 👗✨😊
This dress was an exchange from another style, which didn't suit my body shape. This dress is perfect for me. I'm after the same style now in a different colourway.
Store owner replied: Thank you Lesley for this great review. 😍🥰
Like all the other dresses I have purchased in this style fit is great, pockets are a must and the spot just lifts the dress from plain black. Teamed with a tan clutch and shoes looks fab.
Store owner replied: Amazing!! Thank you Pamela.😊
Nice fit and nice fabric
Store owner replied: Thank you Taraneh. 😍🥰

Too big....
Love this style dress so comfortable to wear easy to care for, hangs lovely in all the right places. I have three in different fabric designs & colours now & get many compliments when I wear them. Just a word of caution when selecting sizes check the size measurements on each design as although the same style, sizes can vary, e.g. I have one in size 20 & one in size 18 both fit me the same feel comfortable to wear. Please keep this style in stock.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for this detailed review Pamela. We're so happy you love your Daphine dress. 🩵⭐🌸
lovely light material...great for summer

Very comfortable with just the right coverage for an older woman like me. Order was processed quickly and delivered in good condition.
Store owner replied: Thank you Gillian! 💕 We’re so glad you’re loving the comfort and fit of the Daphine Dress! So happy it arrived quickly too! 😍📦✨
Love this dress, so stylish, so comfortable and easy to wear, so cool in the hot weather, can be dressed up or down so it is very versatile, and adore that it has pockets!
Store owner replied: Thank you for your review ❤❤
Bought to wear to a Christmas lunch in our “lovely” stinking hot humid Queensland summer. The dress fits perfectly and is light and airy I only own two dresses the other being bamboo and this one is very comfortable.
Store owner replied: Thank you for your review 💕
Dress arrived in quoted time. Fits beautifully. wasn't sure if it was the dark colour mmmm but felt not quite right. On displaying to daughter worked out it was the longer fuller sleave that made the dress see darker??? We adjusted the sleave length and transformed the look of dress incredibly. I'm a fair sewer but am getting a friend who's a bit more experienced, to alter length, fullness. Very happy.
Store owner replied: Thank you for your review and feedback Kathy 💖
Beautiful design of dress and love a polka dot and this colour combination. Fits well , loose and comfortable and a great length.
Lovely dress that's soft and flowy. Worn casual or dressy.
Store owner replied: Thank you Anne-Marie! So happy you’re loving how soft and flowy the dress is. Perfect for both casual and dressy looks! ✨👗😊
I need more! Beautiful dress, thank you. I looked at reviews and went a size down and it fits perfect!
Store owner replied: Thank you Jess for this 5 star review. 🥰💜
This was the first time that I had bought a dress from Always Alice & it certainly won't be the last. My dress arrived within a few days & as soon as I saw it, I knew I'd love it. The fabric is so soft, the cut & style is superb, the dress has a beautiful flow. The colour is as pictured. Plus, it has pockets!! I am short & the dress is quite long on me & next time, I'll go down a size.
Store owner replied: This is so wonderful to hear Barb, thank you for your order and review 🥰
Fits well usually a 22 but bought a 20 generous sizing. Looks great as well
Store owner replied: Thank you Karen. 🥰😍😊
Lovely light fabric, breathable. Dress it up with a belt or wear it as a flowing, comfy dress that looks classy.
Store owner replied: Thank you, Clare 💖 We’re so glad you love the light, breathable fabric! ✨ Perfect for dressing up or keeping comfy and classy 💕
I haven’t worn my new dress yet but very happy with the fit
