HELIOS
Helios is a sundress with 2 length options. The V-neck and cinched waist create a feminine appearance, whilst the pretty butterfly sleeves add a floaty look. On the back, the waist is elasticated and a drawstring (selected according to taste) runs through to be front where it is tied. The two sleeve lengths and the three dress lengths make it a very versatile item, ranging from a little beach dress to an elegant cocktail outfit.

Because reviews can offer valuable insight when making a purchase, I want them to be real, non-subjective and specific. This is why reviews are not moderated, in order to ensure the greatest possible transparency. For the same reasons, reviews cannot be modified. All reviews are posted, whether positive or negative (despite "inacceptable" reviews see Terms of Use).
All the reviews on this page are ordered by date.
