Customer Reviews
The Vivien dress is lovely to look at and wonderful to wear. The fabric is good quality and the pattern is lovely and bright. I am very happy with my purchase.
Love the color, the type of fabric
I thought i bought one with a similar neckline as above, but mine is a full neck collar.
I wish the pockets sat a bit lower.
The one thing i struggle with is having a large chest and then having it fit weird in places. I will likely custom tailor it to make the adjustments.
But quality wise- so worth it. Got 3 compliments the first day i wore it
Love the colours in this pattern
This is my third Karma East dress, but my second Vivien. I love the fit and the style, but I also appreciate the quality. I usually try not to shop for clothing at thrift stores, but sometimes you need a new dress! My rule for myself is that anything new should be natural fibre and not support fast fashion monoliths. The pieces I've ordered from Karma East are nice, thick cotton with high quality stitching. I think they'll last for many years. My only suggestion is to expand the sizes to include people who prefer, or require, larger sizes.
Hi Jen, Thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying our Vivien Dress Wattle and that it meets your standards for high quality and use of natural fibers. We also appreciate your suggestion to expand our size range, and we will definitely take that into consideration for products in the future. We would love to cater to all body shapes and sizes, but unfortunately as a small family business we do not have the resources to expand our range currently. Thank you for supporting ethical and sustainable fashion with us at Karma East, we do appreciate it!
Warm regards,
Dee @ Karma East
I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this dress, but I took a chance because it looked so pretty. Shipping to Canada took less than a week! it’s become one of my favourite pieces almost instantly. It’s super lightweight but surprisingly not see-through at all (always a win when you don't have to worry about putting something underneath). The length is perfect—I’m 5'6" and it hits right around the knee. It feels polished without being too formal or frumpy. I’ve already worn it to work and then a dinner date and got so many compliments. This dress just makes me feel put-together without trying too hard. I definitely will be buying another!
Ordered a size up for extra room at the bust and fits perfect. Love the fact that it is 100% cotton and doesn’t make me sweat like all the synthetic fabrics. I even got a lot of compliments wearing my Vivien dress. I live in Belgium and need to pay extra (costums), but will be ordering again for sure!
I’m reluctant to buy clothing online as can’t be bothered returning clothes if they don’t fit. My sister bought a Vivien dress so tried hers on and as it fitted knew my sizing. I love the colours and design, fits beautifully, looks great. Thank you.
Gorgeous, vibrant colours. Love this dress. I have 3 Vivien dresses, im a size 14 and this is a size L and is a perfect fit.
Live the lighweight cotton.
Love this dress! The fit is perfect and the pattern is even better in person. Will be buying more patterns in this style!
This is my 4th Vivien and it's an absolute stunner. So comfortable and so pretty, it makes me feel good and always gets comments. I'm short, so it's ankle length on me and, honestly, I love that! Today was dresswashing day and it made me realise even though I own 10 Karma East dresses I've never left a review! Great company, quick delivery to NZ, happy with every single dress I've bought. I've enclosed a picture of washing day 😍
