Very happy!

Love this, the colours are v v nice indeed. I've missed the hot weather (which this clearly would have been perfect for) so I'll be wearing it with tights until next year! Im generally an 8 on top but a 10-12 on the bottom due to being a 🍐, and I have this in an 8 - its fitted round the arms and shoulders and everything else is super relaxed and swishy, very comfy indeed. Actually, bit of a tangent here, but I reckon you could wear this through a pregnancy no problems at all. Source: have recently been pregnant. Thankfully am no longer. But I was a big fan of "normal" clothes that are just oversized, forget buying special maternity stuff, get something cool like this that you can keep on wearing!

Beautiful 😍 such an easy wear awesome pockets

Beautiful 😍 such an easy wear awesome pockets and can be dressed up or down super comfy too

Love the fit. But colours fade so quickly

I bought this dress as a bigger woman and the fit, the pockets I cannot fault. Now I did buy another in the smock range as well as the dresses were so expensive I expected it not to this. The colours in the dress went very dull very quickly. I only washed it twice and suddenly it looked like an old tshirt id had for years. I looks so tired that I dont want to wear it but I paid do much for it and another one I feel I should get some wesr out of them. Will not be buying a smock dress again despite there great fit. Because tge colours will fade so quickly its not worth the price

Hello Lizzie,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a valuable review. We’re really happy to hear that you loved the fit and the pockets, creating comfortable and size inclusive pieces is something we care deeply about!

We’re very sorry to hear you’ve experienced colour fading with your dress. That definitely isn’t the experience we want anyone to have, and it’s not something we’ve had reported before on our smock range. We’d really like to look into this properly so we can understand what’s happened here.
Because our dresses use rich, vibrant dyes, they do need a little extra care, and the label recommends washing inside out, using a detergent for coloured fabrics, washing before wearing to release any excess dye, and using a hand-wash only setting. Even with that, the colours shouldn’t be fading quickly, so we’d love to investigate further.

If you’re able to drop us an email at hello@rebelromance.co.uk with your order details and some photos, we’d be more than happy to help and make this right for you.

Hope we can get this sorted for you as soon as possible.

Warmest Regards,
Faeryn

Very cute and stretchy Dungarees!

Very cute and stretchy Dungarees!
Perfect for everyone who loves the Run and Fly Dungarees and wants to keep having some. Of course a shop in the EU would be greatfor me but there's also some webpages selling some.
I thinkthe sizes are supposedto be a bit smaller, with my XL I didn't notice any difference between the ones from rebel romance and run and fly. Overall I'm very happy!
