Loved the print so much I wore this in Florence on holiday. Light, floaty, doesn't crease/ need ironing, dries quickly when washed & best of all doesn't need an underslip & is not see through even in bright sun light! Thank you so muchxx

I have coveted this dress since I first saw it on the website. I am now the proud owner. I particularly like a shirt waster style and this is my second from RocknRomance. I just need some sunshine to wear it with pride. ( no photo yet)
