I was delighted to receive my dress in the mail and find that it fits beautifully and is so comfortable to wear, I don’t generally wear dresses a lot, but this one ticks all the boxes and it looks great!

A must have staple

My daughter and I own several of these in different colours. It's the absolute best item of clothing we took on our trip across Europe. Kept us cool enough through Egypt, but warm in the cold winter countries. Not having to wash it after every use meant we could pack light. I only wore smitten through this trip and honestly I regret never travelling with smitten earlier. I am glad I invested in myself and decided on quality and a company who really delivers such beautiful pieces

Beautiful dress

I bought the Mary dress in chocolate recently during sale as I have been eyeing it for a long time. It did not disappoint. It is gorgeous and very flattering. I love the boat neckline. I had hard time choosing between the chocolate and deep sea green and ended up choosing the brown due to it being more neutral. It goes amazingly with my existing warm colours wardrobe. I probably will get it in deep sea green eventually.

Hail Mary

I bought the Royal Blue Mary dress last October and wore it the first time for Easter Sunday. I got so many compliments. It is so comfortable and hides all the things I want hidden, and was able to indulge in Easter celebrations, knowing I still look fabulous! I am definitely getting another Mary dress in another colour! Worth the investment, especially when it was on sale.

That Wonderful Mary Dress!

I have purchased two of these dresses and absolutely love them - chili red and rosewood. Both of these blend in very well with my wardrobe colours. The style is very flattering and easy to wear - makes me feel good again about my older figure. The dress is easy to wear, modest with regards to neckline and length and looks really good. I am very happy to support a totally Australian product - none of this "designed in Australia and made in China" stuff. Keep on going, Smitten!

Most comfortable dress!

I just received my Mary dress. It’s a very flattering and feminine style, feels beautiful on and I love that it has no zips or fasteners. Just slip it on and feel fabulous. The two pockets sit perfectly. Might like to get another one in navy?

Perfect Fit and Flare Dress!

I'm so glad I finally bought the Mary Dress in French Navy after wanting it for years. It's the perfect fit and flare cut that's flattering to wear. The mid weight jersey is thicker than my other Merino wool dresses, but I can wear it in warm weather. It will be perfect for cool Fall or Spring weather. I ordered based on the size chart and feel this style fits true to size. I'd be happy to wear the Mary Dress in multiple colors.

Mary is a keeper!

My Mary dress is in constant rotation all year round. Hangs beautifully, easily dressed up or down, and super comfy. I often wear it with a belt, but not always. The next one in my wish list is the lovely dark green colour. I have lots of smitten clothes, but I think Mary is my favourite at the moment, and is getting the most wear. It’s important to me when I spend relatively big on a dress that I get lots of wear out of it, and I can honestly say that Mary is in constant rotation! 5 stars 🌟 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Deep Sea Green & Ivory + POCKETS

I wanted a dress which is suitable for travel and made of merino. I needed something that gives a little bit of structure so the 3/4 sleeves, boat neck and the dark color on the bottom work perfectly. It can be squished in your suitcase and takes up almost no room. I am 164 60kg and 36 was perfect. I am so pleased with this dress. It pairs perfectly with the 3/4 length crop cardigan. I love this dress. It's incredibly comfortable.

Smitten never fails to impress with such quality garments that i wear weekly and always get compliments. I dry them on hangers and never need to iron them. My favourite place to shop

Love my Mary Dress

The Mary Dress is absolutely perfect. I bought it in magenta the colour is so flattering the material the perfect weight. I was hesitant about merino wool at first, would it be hot, scratchy etc but it is not any of these it feels lovely on the skin and drapes beautifully. I can’t wait to buy Mary in another colour.

Absolutely smitten!

I have been solely wearing merino wool for more than a year now. I did a 100-day dress challenge with a company out of the United States. That led me to Smitten Merino. Their dresses are incomparable in quality and design. I am a dedicated customer. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Suits any occasion

I have 2 Mary dresses and am waiting on a new colour for my 3rd, because it is a classic shape that is so flattering and the fabric hangs and moves so nicely and whether it is summer of winter I feel so comfortable with this fabric against my skin.
I get so many positive comments as it suits for any occasion.

Thank you Cathy for letting us know you love Mary! She is our most popular dress, so you have great taste! Nicola
