2 reviews for “Agnes” Dress Periwinkle Naia
Description
A form fitting, romantic dress made from the most beautiful Naia based stretchy fabric with a big bow made from voile in the same colour on the chest. Long sleeved and with a frill at the bottom, the Agnes is giving Ursula vibes in the best way possible. The fabric has the most beautiful sheen, but much like other precious fabrics such as silk it is a sensitive fabric and threads can be snagged easily – please treat it carefully and avoid if you are looking for unfussy fabrics.

I was afraid that the dress would be too snug, but it’s actually a relaxed enough (ie non-bodycon) fit on me. I followed the size chart – my measurements are at exactly the cusp of M and L, and I ordered an M, so I was expecting it to be tight, and it’s very comfortable, even the ruffle isn’t tight on my legs. The sleeves are relaxed on me too, just like on the model. I didn’t zoom in on the fabric enough to notice that the fabric was textured, so I was surprised to see it, but it’s very soft. I like how lightweight the fabric is, too. The color matches what I see on the screen as well. The bow was untied, so at first I was confused, but it was easy enough to figure out – just tie the two loose straps into a knot, and the bow will form!
I didn’t like that the package came with dried lavender tied to it, but it was easy enough to remove and toss. Just be aware, if you’re sensitive to fragrances, to leave a note when you checkout.

Such a cute dress! The way the bow ties in the front is really smart. The company customized it for me for free. Love love love!!!
Being able to support quality, ethical, size inclusive clothing is such a delight.
The fast fashion junk makes you feel like you’re getting a “good deal” but then maybe you fill your cart with $100 because everything is so inexpensive. But the material is yucky, the fit sucks, it’s made unethically, and it falls apart after a few washes. And you spent $100.
It’s hard to find beautiful things in big sizes, and Loud Bodies does it right!
