I am a curvy woman with Endometriosis, and struggle to find comfortable clothes which are also flattering on my curves, making it particularly difficult to buy clothes online, but I have never regretted buying a MahaShe dress. Customer service is exceptional and the team always answers my questions patiently to ensure I order the correct size and the accurate measurements provided for each dress are so helpful. This dress is so comfortable and looks good even on my bloated days. I love it.
My first time shopping at Mahashe, on a recommendation, and so far I love the experience! I had to return the first dress as I misjudged the size, but the returns process was easy, and the new size fitted perfectly. I love the dress for it's quality, pattern (loved some of the other patterns too!), and the pockets!
Love this dress, the fabric is so soft and gorgeous, I'll wear this all the time!
Absolutely beautiful dress with a lovely neckline. The only disappointment was that after carefully measuring and comparing sizing to other similar dresses I own, I was still unable to get the right size. The dress was far too big. As I bought it on 'sale' I was unable to return it. Even on sale it's a lot of money to spend on an item that needs major adjustments to make it fit well.

I have never bought a dress from MahaShe so this was a bit of trial. I decided to try this as it was on sale. Firstly it is well made. I was looking for dress to cover up a bit of mum tum! I wanted a wide A line but this isn’t. I bought size 14 hoping this would skim over the waist.Also I’m 5 foot 4. The waist ends up too low and even accentuated tum. So I have taken it to a tailor to shorten it from the shoulders. This will result in waist being higher up and a not such a low scoop neckline. The other issue concerns the photos of the colour of the fabric. I was hoping the colour would be the deeper shades of the fabric photo. Not so. The colour is slightly closer to the dress on the model but basically it’s rather a washed out look. It would be great if it were possible if buying a style for the first time to have free postage one way and that I can return it whatever price I paid for it.
Hi Helen,
Thank you for your thoughtful review — we’re glad to hear you found the Elsy Dress well-made.
Fit can vary depending on body shape and proportions, particularly as our garments are made from natural cotton with little to no stretch. Each style is designed to suit different body shapes, so a fit that works beautifully for one person may feel quite different on another. Many of our customers find that trying different cuts, or making small adjustments as you’ve done, helps achieve a more personalised fit.
In terms of colour, all of our garments are photographed in natural light, and we include close-up images to show the fabric as accurately as possible. However, lighting, screen settings, and photography can still affect how tones appear across different devices.
Each piece is also hand screen-printed using traditional techniques, which means there can be subtle variations in colour and finish from one garment to another. These variations are part of what makes each piece unique, and reflect the nature of small-batch, slow fashion production.
We understand the appeal of more flexible return options when trying a new style. As a small business working with limited runs, we’re not able to offer the same return flexibility on heavily discounted pieces, which is why we encourage customers to try new styles under our full return terms where possible.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
Warm wishes,
The MahaShe Team xxx
I think I told you that it was too large around the neckline and too tight elsewhere. Material was nice though. I have to pass it on to someone else. Think i forgot to return it in time. Oh no! I didn't see it couldn't be returned at all.
Love this style, feminine and flattering with a lovely material pattern - it’s going to be a favourite dress this summer.
Elsy Dress - Viola
Lovely dress received many compliments perfect fit very nice fabric excellent customer service. Love all MahaShe designs.
I now have the Angelica and Viola Elsy dresses. They are such a flattering style and being 100% cotton, feel so nice to wear. I actually have a tunic, too, which I also love. I notice that although my tunic is a size 8, I needed a size 10 for the Elsy dresses.
I buy MahaShe dresses over and over again. Always get compliments on every item I own, especially the bright print dresses. Elsy Magnolia Dress is so light and easy to wear, love having 2 pockets and the longer knee length.
This dress is beautiful,well made but very small sizing.Unfortunately as it was on sale I was unable to return it.
Love my new Elsy dress.
It fits perfectly and the beautiful cotton fabric feels very soft and comfortable. Very happy customer.
This is my second Elsy dress I bought one years ago. Unlined, pockets, cotton fabric, cap sleeve - great in hot weather. I'm 162cm so it falls just below my knees, which is perfect. I'm size 10 usually, but a size 8 was the right fit.
This dress is a bit tight but I tuck it up under the seam. Looks cute and very comfy.
Nice fit and length 🙂
Love it.
Love it, so gorgeous and love the pockets. It is slightly bigger make than the other mahashe dress I own in size 6 (same style just different fabric). My other one fits perfectly on me and this one is slightly big so i was a tiny disappointed but I still love it! ❤️
This is my second of these. I purchased a size L originally and loved it, but then my weight changed and it was a little large. I was very excited to find the same dress on the web site some time after the original purchase and I am now the happy owner of a size L & M!
Beautiful quality cotton, well made and so comfortable to wear. Gorgeous packaging. Ethical business. So much to like. Dress is made from preshrunk cotton so no fear of it shrinking on you the first time you wash it. Highly recommend.
Lovely dress, beautiful cotton and has pockets!
Lovely summer dress. True to size & quite flattering. Very easy ordering & prompt delivery. Definitely shop with MahaShe again.
This dress is absolutely lovely. I will be buying more. You do need to size up, I am normally a size 16 and bought the 18 in this dress, I was told this before I purchesed, and it fits perfectly.
The dress is lovely & very comfortable to wear.
I did take the hem up as I prefer slightly shorter just touching the knee. A very simple job.
I’m very happy with the purchase.
I love this dress, lovely shape and suitable for work or lazy Sunday drinks out with friends. Great for putting a long sleeve top on underneath in winter. I’m small in size so definitely needed to take up the hem and added a dart for it to fit properly in the back… but I’m an odd shape. Definitely a dress that gets compliments when wearing.
I have about 6 Mahashe dresses - grown out of 3 so had to replace them as they are so comfy, made from gorgeous cotton and pockets are essential in my wardrobe. I always get compliments when I wear them and the designs are bright and fun!
I can’t believe how many compliments this dress has received since I began wearing it! Complete strangers have commented on it. It is so fresh, cool and light - perfect for summer! I love it so much I’ve bought a second dress in a different style. I now have the Tunic and Elsy frocks, both in the fabulous Meadow print.

I loved my little Elsy dress so much I bought a second one in a different print. It's true to size and so comfortable and flattering to wear.
