Dora Dress, Blue

The Dora Dress – Flattering Form Meets Everyday Comfort The Dora Dress is a clever blend of comfort and femininity, designed to flatter and fit beautifully across a range of sizes. With a fitted bodice crafted from a stretchy blend of polyester and lycra, and a softly structured cotton skirt, this midi dress offers ease without compromising on style. The square neckline is particularly flattering and the gently raised waistline sits just above the tummy—perfect for a comfortable, confidence-boosting fit. Cap sleeves and discreet pockets complete the look with practicality and charm. ________________________________________ Features • Fit: Stretchy through the bust with generous give • Neckline: Flattering square cut that highlights the collarbone • Bodice: Polyester and lycra blend for flexibility and structure • Skirt: 100% cotton for breathability and shape • Length: Mid-calf on Hil (5'3") • Extras: Cap sleeves and hidden side pockets ________________________________________ Size Guide • Designed to fit UK sizes 10 through to 16. • Hil (UK 10/12, 5'3", 34E bust) finds the fit perfect across the bust and very comfortable through the waist and hips. • Sue (UK 6, 5'0") finds it roomy across the chest—if you're very petite on top (think less than an A cup), this style may feel too generous. But A–B cup and up will find it works beautifully. • General Rule: Cotton skirts hold their shape but don’t stretch—however, the bodice's lycra blend gives that needed flexibility up top. ________________________________________ Care Instructions • Gentle machine wash, cool cycle • Wash inside out • Hang to dry, avoid tumble drying • Cool iron if needed ________________________________________ Why We Love It We love the clever cut of the Dora Dress—the square neckline and just-above-the-tummy waist placement make it incredibly flattering and forgiving. It’s one of those dresses that moves with you and feels good to wear, all day long. ________________________________________ Styling Suggestions • Hil (UK 10/12, 5'3") dresses it up with a statement belt, bold earrings, and a soft blazer for a work-to-weekend look that still feels easy. • Sue (UK 6, 5'0") styles it casually with her favourite trainers and a denim jacket for a simple, relaxed outfit—though she finds the bust fit a little roomy on her petite frame. ________________________________________ Short Description A flattering one-size midi dress with a soft cotton skirt, stretchy bodice, and gently raised waistline—fits UK sizes 10–16. Especially great for those who aren’t super petite up top.
