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.
Love
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.

These will be a favourite! So comfy and they look so cool!
Love this dress. Beautifully made and gorgeous fabric.
My first time ordering from MahaShe. I loved the look of the Alana dress in Viola and after taking my measurements and comparing them to the size guide, I ordered and hoped for the best! 😬
Needless to say, it is a perfect fit! 🤩I am extremely happy and can’t wait to wear it when the weather warms up.
