Whilst I haven't worn this beautiful dress yet, I have tried it on a couple of times to see how 3 other pieces work with it - a fine cream mesh top underneath, an elegant cream cropped bolero and a voile long duster style coat over top. It looks and feels so special and luxurious on and I love the fullness of the layers. I'm typically a size 14-16 however quite narrow across the shoulders so the size S fits perfectly with plenty of room in the bodice. I would happily wear it sleeveless but myself being older, I do prefer a sleeve, hence trying the dress with other styling options to achieve that perfect look. I will definitely purchase more garments in the future. They are truly exquisite.
Hello Kerry, we couldn't be happier reading your beautiful review of the Athena! Thank you so much for your insight and feedback and lots of styling ideas! Layering is one of the foundations of what we do at MBD so we love that you're excited to play with the options. We hope you have many years of joy from this beautiful garment.
