The Uniqlo dress has proven popular online, having racked up a 4.7 star rating. Among the reviews, one person said: “Perfect dress. This basic dress is so comfy and suitable for any occasion.”
A second wrote: “Excellent as a lounge dress, very comfortable and good for warmer weather.” A third added: “Light and flowy. Thinner than the traditional cotton t-shirts. Very light and very comfortable to wear.”
However, one shopper claimed the colour of their dress was different on arrival. They said: I bought the dress in colour pink, but it is nothing like in the pictures. It is actually brown, a lot darker. Like the dress otherwise, but the colour is just ugly.”
Most of the reviews were positive, with one shopper writing: “Beautiful dress. This fits perfectly—I’m a size medium, and it hugs just right. I absolutely love the material; it’s incredibly soft and flexible thanks to the cotton and elastic blend. Super comfortable and flattering. I definitely recommend it!”
A second added: “Summer staple. I already have some items in the Airism material, so I was keen to try the T-shirt dress. It is a lovely, flattering fit on the top and flares out nicely. I’m petite so it is a maxi length on me and I think it will be great for work or casual wear too. The Airism material hangs so well and it’s great for those warmer days. Very happy with this purchase and also bought it in black.”
Others claimed the sizing was off with the product, writing: “I am 5’2” and after filling in my weight, height, age, preferred fit, etc., I went for the size you recommend for me – XL – and I was completely swamped…I am sorry about the fit of the dress because it should have been easy to wear and suitable for many occasions, instead it is going back and I shall ignore your “recommended size” in future.”
Despite this, some shoppers said they’d be wearing it no matter the season. One person wrote: “Beautiful shape! I am so impressed with the quality and price of this product. I bought it in the gorgeous olive green colour. The shape is a gently a-line with pockets and its a rich cotton fabric. I’m going to wear now with a jumper and live in it in the summer!”
