Camilla | Women's Wedding Guest Pleated Maxi Dress

I've been burned before buying dresses online because sizing is never the same twice between Australian brands. I nearly didn't order because of that. This one fit exactly as expected, first try. Such a relief not to have to guess.

After two lost parcels from other stores this year, I'm honestly wary of ordering from anyone new. The tracking on my order actually matched what was happening, and it arrived exactly when it said it would. Small thing, but it means a lot.

I'll admit I looked up Elliot's Way a few times before I bought anything, I've been caught out by fake stores before. Everything about it, from start to finish, felt like a real, thought-through brand. Genuinely relieved.

The idea behind this store just makes sense to me. I've bought so many things at fifty percent off after summer that I never actually got to wear. Elliot's Way sells everything at that price from the start instead. Wish more brands thought like this.

I was expecting the fabric to feel cheap, that's usually what happens when you order clothes online without touching them first. It didn't. The stitching, the print, the way it actually sits, all of it matched the photos and then some. First time in a while I haven't been let down opening the package.
