- LGLauren G.Verified Buyer2 days agoReviewingEmpire Dress - Pink NoirRated 5 out of 5 starsFlattering, soft, and great length
I love the way the dress moves, the feel of the fabric, and colours in the print. I got heaps of looks in this. I got a 16 which is my usual size, however the cut of the dress could allow a 14 to work too but I prefer the flowy look. It's not tight around my hips or tummy, but is perfectly A-line to flatter my shape. The cleavage dips the tiniest bit low which shows off my black lace bra. I will buy from Nine Lives Bazaar again. Worth the money!

A new colour way for me and I’m loving it.
The length of this one seems to be shorter than the normal Empires I own. I’m totally fine with that. Gorgeous print
- KIKellie I.Verified Buyer1 month agoReviewingEmpire Dress - ScarletRated 5 out of 5 starsA beautiful empire
Colours and print are gorgeous and the Empire is of course a popular style for a reason. I’ll be returning this one though as I have so many Empires and I think it’s time for something different!
- DFDana F.Verified Buyer1 month agoReviewingEmpire Dress - ScarletRated 5 out of 5 starsLove me an Empire
I always love the cut and fit of the Empire and i wear a size 12, it fits loosely and I love the flow.
I love so much about NLB and have many items in my wardrobe and they are always my go to for any event. The Empire however can be worn day or night dressed up or down.
- CKCheryl K.Verified Buyer1 month agoReviewingEmpire Dress - ScarletRated 5 out of 5 starsThe perfect holiday season dress
There’s no doubt I’m a fan of Nine Lives Bazaars Empire dresses and the latest release in the Scarlet colourway doesn’t disappoint. The beautiful warm tones and lovely fabric make it the perfect dress for the holiday season. I received so many compliments while wearing it. I’m usually a size 8 in this style and got an 8. It’s true to size. Perfect with cowgirl boots for a more casual look, or dress it up with your favourite heels.
