The Seasalt Cornwall dress has 57 reviews, 46 of which have a five-star rating. One shopper gave the piece five stars, calling it the “perfect Christmas dress.”
They added: “Gorgeous dress which I bought for the festive season and it didn’t disappoint. Great fit and very flattering. Good quality as well. Can’t wait to wear it!”
A second raved: “This dress feels luxurious. The drape is gorgeous with a super rich colour. It’s a gorgeous design and the fit is perfect.”
Another wrote: “Perfect purchase. Beautiful velvety red, perfect sleeves. Right fit which I find with Seasalt either too big or too small even with my regular size. Right length for me just below possibly 3in below knee.
“Slip on easily. Overall good buy for the Christmas party with heels. Can’t decide to pair with jacket or scarf, depends on weather.”
Not all reviewers were impressed, with one commenting on the design. They said: “I returned this dress as the split in the front revealed far too much cleavage. The fabric was very clingy too.”
Another unhappy shopper said: “It looked beautiful and fitted well but the sleeves weren’t set in properly so they puckered the bodice.”
