HIP

Stand with your feet hips width distance and flat, then wrap a soft measuring tape around the widest point of your hip.

Reviews

Versatile style, color and length!!!

"Perfect maxi casual dress that’s not too much fabric in the mid section. Love the dark navy that will go with my mini Belfasts in the navy and red. This sturdy cotton is all I want to wear now most of the year in Florida. I own multiple Patrick tees in medium and bought a medium in this. I would love this in black and another deep color such as teal, deep red or the vintage navy. I’m 5 feet 4, 135 pounds and it’s great length. Keep making this style!!!"

Such a beautiful and well-made dress!

"This was my first order and I was so pleasantly surprised! The packaging was very classy. The dress is obviously quality made with a very professional cut and style. The fabric is substantial and hangs like it should without being the slightest bit bulky. I feel like going to English tea in this dress! I will likely order another in a different color."

— Alysia (5/5)

Surprisingly accentuates your curves, yet doesn't cling

"The fabric is beautiful. It has wonderful body - slightly heavier, so that it doesn't cling but still accentuates your curves. I am 5'3" and worried about being overwhelmed by the dress. It is a winner. My husband saw when I tried it on. He was skeptical when I held it up, His reaction changed to an approving "Yeah!" I'm 5'3", 115 lbs, 37 chest, 28 waist, 35 hips. XS is perfect. I will need to add a hook to close the top unless I wear a camisole underneath."

Love this dress

"Great fabric and fit--not too fitted or baggy. A bit long--model length--LOL. I'll have to pay to have it shortened. But overall will be comfy and easy to elevate for a casual date night or lunch with friends."

— donna j. (4/5)

Amazing!

"Oh. My. Gosh. What a perfect dress! I was skeptical about ordering Emma, thinking it would not be my ‘type’. Im 5’1” and it’s a great length! I’m so very happy with the fit, the look, the comfort- I predict this will be the first of…several/many!"

— Vicki P. (5/5)

"For some reason the top of the dress is too small/tight. I’ve been wearing the tee shirts in Med so not sure why this dress was too tight but it was so I returned it. Perhaps it was just this particular dress."

— Beverly F. (5/5)

Please make petites

"Great dress but drags on the ground for me. When I spend this much on a dress I don’t want to have to spend even more on tailoring."

— Linda S. (3/5)

Such a great dress!

"I have two of the Emma dresses, and they are my favorites. They provide good coverage while being cool and comfortable at the same time. They wash and pack extremely well, and I always get compliments when wearing them. I'm happy that F&E are expanding the color choices beyond navy, white, and black, I'll purchase more for sure!"

— Gwynn (5/5)

I originally wanted white, which

"I originally wanted white, which was sold out, but am happy with the light blue. It works for casual evenings and looks great with a turquoise and silver necklace. I am in danger of wearing it every night!"

— Nancy T. (5/5)

Love it!

"I especially love that the sleeves are elbow length and the fabric feels sturdy- not flimsy."

— Donna G. (5/5)
