Mimi Swing Dress in la flor de Nochebuenala

I just found Love Daphne and have purchased a few dresses. This dress is stretchy and I found I went down a size. It is very flattering on a fuller figure and I love that when you put your phone or keys in the pockets it still sits well and nothing falls out of them. Have purchase a few of this style in different prints. They are made of food quality material and wash well. I think I have found the clothes for my wardrobe

Mimi Swing Dress in la flor de Nochebuenala

Beautiful dress- I have had lots of compliments on how lovely the dress looks.

I wanted to love this dress, I really did. And it’s not horrible, but disappointing for the price.

Positives: the cut is flattering. I love the waistline and the sleeves. The print is also bold and matches what is shown on the preview.

Negatives: the material is not suitable for summer. It is partly my fault, I suppose, for not understanding what certain materials would feel like. But for the price point, I did not expect such a heavy, hot, non-breathable material. It feels like wearing a dry rashie, not well-paired with the QLD Christmas. Also, I question whether the brand ever tested this cut and material on a model with bigger boobs. Because the crossover design is not attached, my boob just pushes the top panel of material to the side, exposing my bra. I had to wear two ugly safety pins just to stop that from happening. I do not think I have particular large breasts, so I feel I am not the only one with this issue. Once again, a stiffer, less heavy material like cotton blend may have helped it stay in place more easily.

I do still like the dress and will buy a modesty panel or a crop bra, but would be hesitant to purchase again.

This is my first time buying a Mimi dress, I tried it on as soon as it arrived and I found it fit well. I could have maybe gone down a size but I like how it fits and is loose although it doesn’t look too big. It’s going to be super comfortable to wear over Christmas. Lots of stretch, deep pockets and loose flutter sleeves.
Looking forward to celebrating the season wearing this beautiful dress
