skims the body so that is follows shape but is not tight.

This dress is bias cut and as a result it will adapt to your shape and drape around the body, skirt will mould around the hip and the bust area is free. Best choose on waist size. 

Please note - the hem is irregular due to the bias cut. It will hang differently according to body shapes.

Im 5ft 2 and have a 34EE bust, this dress fit perfect

I'm 5ft 2 and have a 34EE bust, this dress is such a great fit, really versatile and elegant. Great quality, gorgeous fabric and I love the little details like the small puff on the sleeve - and the three quart sleeve length. Perfect dress, I will be buying more!

Elegant and understated

I wanted an elegant, timeless dress to wear to the theatre, opera and ballet and this fits the bill perfectly. Like the Grace dress, it’s easy to get in and out of and a really flattering shape on my short stature and small bust. The longer sleeves means I can wear it in the winter months without the need for a cardigan or wrap. It’s another beautifully made dress from Foxy that I know will be a wardrobe staple for many years to come.

This dress is comfortable and elegant.

I love the way the fabric hangs. It's extremely feminine, and I feel confident when wearing it :)

I absolutely love the Vera dress.

I had hesitated because I'm short and small busted but am amazed at how flattering this is. The dress falls at more midi-length for me. It's comfortable and effortless. I have it in teal as well and am glad I ordered it in both since the different colors have a really different feel to them. One of my favorite dresses from House of Foxy!
