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.

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.

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.
