I love Esme dresses and have many of them! They're super flattering, the fabric is soft and heavy, and even the very light colours don't show through. Love love love them!
The fact that you have so many of them truly means the world to our small shop, and you look absolutely gorgeous in that video Thank you for sharing this with our community! ❤️
Fits great, will fit if I gain any weight. Super comfy, super flattering. 10/10. Will buy another when a new pattern comes out. True to size according to size chart.
I love it. So comfortable
We're so happy to hear you love the Esme Dress!
Great quality fabric and a perfect fit, the perfect black dress.
So cute! Bought it for my 9 month old who can get away wearing the 1-2T. We should get two years of wear with how high quality it is! We paired it with a white onsie and an umber pixie bonnet for thanksgiving!
I am not a dress person at. All. But I needed one I get confident in for a wedding, after having a baby and nothing else fit. The es me dress was perfect! It is soft material, the buttons made it easy to nurse maybe without flashing my undies, it was comfortable like my normal t shirts are, and it was long enough that I didn't have to worry about bending down carefully when picking up my baby. Bonus: it has pockets!
beautiful dress as always
I love this dress, I also own in it black,and a tank version in Papaya stripe. I love the length and this fabric is
For this Tofino momma this is the perfect all-rounder little black dress. Flowy, not too clingy, little button details, good length and pockets. So happy!
Love the way this fits and it feels good!
I love love love love love this dress. The way it feels on - so soft. The way it moves when I walk - makes me lokk incredible. Serious boss lady mum vibes. Everyone needs one of these. Did I mention I love it?
Ps I requested my fiancé bring one home to Australia for me. That's how incredible this dress is.
Amazing material and perfect fit!
The clothing is always great quality, fun prints and become staples in our wardrobe.
The most beautiful dress. I love this style and print. Feels so much softer than I was expecting. It was expensive but so worth it for me.
This is my fifth esme dress I've purchased over the past five years. They have seen me through three pregnancies and nursing, they are flattering postpartum, and still fit me when I'm back to my normal size. I get so many compliments on them. And they have pockets! Love this new green colour with leaves. Keep new colours coming please!
I'm in love! The cut of this dress is so flattering, and the pockets are a great bonus. Best part is the nursing friendly neckline. The fabric is so soft and comfortable. Will definitely be back!
I have loved wearing the black Margaretta Lounge Dress. I'm 5'9.5", about 140 pounds, and the Medium has fit quite nicely. The dress falls just past my knees, and is just slightly loose but still flattering. My only concern is that, as I am a "warm" (aka sweaty) person, the summertime tends to make it so that my seat print stays a little imprinted into the dress, which is most likely because of the beautiful bamboo fabric. The dress completely returns to normal with a wash as well. I definitely recommend the dress! It is super comfortable and versatile. I love wearing it with white sneakers :)
I LOVE this dress! I took a big chance since I didn't plan on trying to return this dress (I live in Hawaii) and am so thankful I did! I'm a US size 8 pre-pregnancy and am currently 5 months pregnant/36D bust size/5'5". I bought a Medium. I love how forgiving this dress is and stretchy. If I wasn't pregnant, I could easily have gone with a small or medium. Being pregnant, I could have gone with a medium or a large. I'm already hoping for a free shipping promotion so I can buy another dress! (Shipping to Hawaii can be a lot.) xoxo
Gorgeous dress, true to size.Washes beautifully!
Always so pretty and perfect for a May outing
It is so comfy, has pockets, gorgeous sleeves, and love the length too. It's very hard for me to find dresses with these all features! A rare gem. So glad I bought it.
This dress is perfect. It has pockets, it's a nice simple black, it's soft and it's a really flattering shape. It's hard, as a plus size woman, to find something simple and flattering that doesn't make me look like I'm wearing a bag. I was hesitant at first not to go for something with an exciting pattern, but I don't regret it one bit. This is my go-to dress now. Happy, as always!
Shop-friendly site and great local product. Very pleased with the quality and design.
This is my second dress from here - always comfortable and well-made clothing! I love this one worn with a belt around the waist, but it also works well without as a looser t-shirt dress. Great colour, and as always, excellent customer service from Little & Lively!
I live this dress, it's something I put on when I want to look and feel awesome. The fact that it has pockets is also a huge bonus. Fabric is super soft.
Comfortable, good length, drapey, able to nurse with it when wearing tights under, pretty pink colour. Love it! Bonus: no cleavage exposed when crawling on the floor with my 3 kids! Thank you :)
High quality fabric. Super cute little dress!
I love this outfit!! It's so adorable!
So cute ans unique! We always get a ton of compliments when she wears this!
Exactly what I was expecting, very comfortable, and classic black. Been looking for a short sleeve dress for a while.
These are so soft and comfy! Perfect for Easter!
I am a huge fan of the Esme dress and own many. The water colour floral has rich, vivid colours and a lovely design!
