bird keepers The Sleeveless Swing Dress

I ummed and ahhhhed for ages about this and then sent it back. It probably was too big, the armholes gaped a bit,, and I wasn’t sure I’d wear it much as I like more colour these days, having “done” the Corporate look all my working life.

This is perfect for travel,washes well, dries on a hanger with NO ironing and fits over some bright, tight fitting tops for cooler days. Will wear with tights as an extra warmth level, great dress.

Exactly what I wanted for a casual holiday

Good casual dress. Could have sized down as it's rather roomy.

Love love love this dress! Sized down after reading reviews (got a 12, usually a 14) and so glad I did, it’s beautiful! Can be dressed up or down. Very lovely good quality fabric!

I have received my dress today and it fits so nice, I’m so happy it really makes me feel good when wearing it

Love love love this dress. So comfy. Wish it other colours.

Simple and comfortable. Fabric is a good weight. Could be dressed up or down.

I love these dresses, I now have 4 of them! They are so comfy for around the house, and can be dressed up with a necklace/scarf and cardigan. I would love for there to be some more colour options.

I've had such a good run with these swing dresses - I have both short sleeve and sleeveless versions and couldn't recommend them more highly. As usual, the fit and length are right, and the fabric is a good quality cotton.

I just adore this dress. Why haven’t I ordered one before? Definitely need more!

Love the dress, love the cut and feel. Generous size, want one in another colour now. Surprised by how quickly it arrived in the post, efficient service and lovely handwritten note in the beautifully presented package.

love this! its my "go to" dress. Can dress it up or down. Very Comfortable and cool for the tropics. I brought a 14, im going to get another 1 in a size 12. Normally i wear a size 16-18

Sizing and figure guide very accurate.
Lovely cool and comfortable little dress.
Can be dresses up or down and stylised with accessories. Love it!

I found the material of this swing dress to be of a lower quality than the swing dresses with sleeves (I have 3 of those which I love). It also didn’t seem to fit as well and made me look frumpy. True to size.

I thought after I washed it I will Iron it but I think you can get away without ironing, I will know when I wear it.
It is a simple swing design and I will wear it with a shirt or something like that.
It is a dress-up item or casual day wear.

I like this dress but am worried it is going to end up just being a house dress, seems like it could end up threadbare in places pretty easily. The shape and fit is great - just better material would make it more suitable for more occasions.

Really hot days the fabric and fit suits. Love the floaty feel especially giving you room to move.

Hi, I left a positive review at the beginning, but unfortunately, I have to return this dress. The quality after a cuople of washing wasn't well (bleached out). I love dary deep navy, sorry!

This simple, easy care and cool frock looks great with a T-shirt underneath. The s12 was fine for my wobbly s12-14 frame.

Love the colour & style of this dress. It a great casual summer dress. Easy care

Love this dress, now have it in pink and green..easy to wear, comfy, flattering and cool in summer..would buy more if it came in more colours - would love it in white!! Go down a size as larger sizing.

This is a must have for life in the tropics. Comfortable and cool, a great every day dress. I love the range of colours. I own 2 of these dresses already and wear them often.

A great casual dress for summer. Very comfy and fits well!

The dress is comfortable so easy to wear & put on. Love the fabric, have bought two, in both colours. Easy to wash.

A very comfortable weekend dress that works for the beach and an informal night out. It's a little loose but not enough to return. I'd probably order a size down next time.

Great dress for those hot days. Very flattering skims over the curves.

A really comfortable, easy to wear dress on hot days. Easy to dress up. Definitely choose the size down from your usual dress size as this is a nice loose dress

It’s really comfortable to wear you can dress it up or down normally I’m not a dress wearer but absolutely love this dress.

I love this dress. I wear it all the time. Easy to dress up or just plain casual. it is very generous in sizing! I am usually a firm 12 but in this the 10 was just right.

Love this dress, the colour, fit, & can dress it up or down. Material could be a bit lighter in weight for summer;

I think this colour has to be tried on. I thought it would be fine, but it was really dark.

I bought this in both the green and navy and love both. Navy though is a good colour, not too dark. Definitely go down a size as I'm normally a 12, but the 10 is perfect, still lots of room, which is important when it's hot. For me this is a dress more around home, though I dare say I could dress it up a bit for lunch out, or a shopping expedition.

Nice and simple to throw on when it's too hot to wear jeans or trousers. Good weight of fabric. Green colour is a very muted or washed out jade green. Bought the navy as well. I'd suggest also going down a size, I'm normally a 12 but with this brand a 10 is ample, and this style is cut a tad larger.

This is a really great addition to my wardrobe. Casual but flattering cut so can be dressed up if you want to take it to the next level. Very versatile. Love the pale pink colour, very feminine and also bought the navy. Go down a size if you're not too busty. I'm a 12 but got a 10 and it's perfect.

Really easy to wear, super comfy, not see through, love the colour and fabric. A flattering dress that I know will be a summer favourite. Will be back for another in a different colour. Usually a Size 10 but went down a size as suggested by others, to an 8, which fits perfectly..LOVE!

Great little dress bought it to take on a beach holiday haven’t even been yet but have already worn it several times.

Surprised with the material - feels lovely on. Will be going back to buy another. Perfect for traveling.

Sizing is not as generous as the other short sleeve long swing dress and sleeveless tulip dress in this brand - perhaps more true to size.

Still comfy and not too short which is good (I am 176cm tall so was a bit worried).

Perfect for hot days. A bit shorter than I expected (I'm 175cm) so not practical for work, but perfect for the weekend.

Doesn’t do much for my pear shape, but certainly comfortable.

Great cover-up for beach

Love this dress, colour is so light and pretty. A great dress to throw on on a hot day. Love it so much, I bought the nave as well.It's a very flattering style.

Yes fits great love wereing it with my white sneakers

Omg I love this dress .. fits perfectly.. so cool and comfy.. I bought it in 2 colours .. the navy and the green to take on holiday overseas this year

My go to dress at the moment, love it. Went down a size, fits perfectly. Cool and comfy.

This dress ticks all the boxes - it looks great, slims down my large bust and hips and is so, so comfortable to wear. The fabric has more texture than the photos show and is cool and breathable.

So comfy I can wear it around the house or easily dress it up. The length is good (I find the regular swing dress to be a bit short).

The material is cool and comfortable. A nice fit and easy to wear. Will purchase another and will wear them travelling. Glad I ordered the 8. Usually I’m a 10, but a -0 would have been too big.

I tried this on at home and it looks so good on me, covers up my large tummy ! I can’t wait to wear it out.

I have the black version of this dress and love it. Unfortunately, I thought the green was a little brighter and not as pretty to as it appears on the screen - this was a return for me.

After reading all the reviews on the sizing and advice to go down a size, I purchased the Pink & the Navy in a size 10. Wrong move !! I will return both & re- purchase them in a size 12, which is my usual size. I am very happy with them. Cool & very comfy.

Great dress but disappointed with the colour. It is a very washed out pink in comparison to the picture.

This dress is very comfortable, and would be perfect for lounging around the house or going to the shops. It is quite full and sits above the knee. I am returning it because I wanted something a little more shapely and smart-casual.

Bit longer than i thought .am 172cm tall.
Can wear with a belt tho to pull length up. A good cool throw on dress.

Love this dress! Casual but could be easily dressed up a little with right accessories! Fits a little larger so possibly go down a size. Simple, yet elegant.

I already had this in the black and the stripe and when I saw this gorgeous green colour I just had to have it. These dresses are very casual - but for summer holidays or to throw on at the end of a long day at work they are perfect. Very flattering. I'm normally a 14 but the 12 is perfect as they are a rather large cut.

This dress is very comfortable and perfect for hot weather but it is quite voluminous and swings out from the top. I added a tie belt that I already had so that I can dress it up a little and give it some shape, but will wear it to the beach as is. The fabric is nice and washes well. Size is on the larger side. I usually fit between a 12 - 14 depending on style but I feel I should have bought the 10 in this one.

I don’t love it but it’s ok. Big armholes and the material a little cheap looking

I just love the cut, look, feel and fabric of these dresses. This is the second one I have bought and I can see myself living in this during summer, especially when we go camping.

This is my 2nd swing tee dress. I bought the navy as well and the colours are almost exactly the same. No matter. I love this dress and will wear the heck out of both of them!!

This is my 4th purchase of this dress in different colors of course. It is so comfortable for summer and I can just slip this on and know I look great.

I usually wear size 12 but bought a size 10 in this dress which fitted perfectly. I had previously bought the striped version with sleeves of this dress, which I love, but unfortunately this version of the swing dress was too short for what I wanted and looked drab and plain, despite my loving green. I have returned it, one of just a couple of returns I have made to Birdsnest.

I love this dress. It's flattering, comfortable, cool to wear and can be dressed up or down. I just need it in more colours as I'm not a pink or green person but will buy a black one also!!

This is a comfy summer dress, great for the beach or around the house. I am disappointed with the quality of the stitching and fabric. And find the cut of the front hem quite short.

A relaxing item to wear. I love the refreshing colour.

I think I will probably live in this dress all summer. It's soft, but it's not a clingy, jersey-type fabric. The cloth has some weight and structure to it, which looks great. I'm happy with the size although it is just a little short on me, especially when sitting.

Very comfortable and feels great. I'm a standard size 12 and got size 12, but it is slightly big. Could have gone for a 10.

I wear this dress a lot just as a casual all rounder

Love this little dress. So easy to wear and will be wearing it a lot on those warmer, humid days. I would buy more if it came in a few more colours.

This dress will be perfect for really hot Sydney summer days.. I love the colour and the style. Thankyou girls for the very fast delivery and I can't wait to wear this.

Love everything about this dress, colour is beautiful and it is so comfortable. I want one in every colour. I went down a size and it was perfect.

Love, love love this dress! Great fit, washes well, so comfortable.
I'm so glad I bought it in the stripes as well as the navy.

Beautiful quality fabric. Not see through which is great. I'm a size 8 but ordered the 6 which fit perfectly up the top. Still roomy in the dress. Will be perfect for beach throw on or casual event while still feeling put together.
And your delivery time - AMAZING! I ordered Thursday of Christmas week and received it 24 hours later. Thank you Birdsnest team!

Nice material, great summer dress. I wore it casually in the morning to the shops, then donned some jewlerry and headed to work, and then had dinner out in the city in the dress. Very versatile.

I originally bought this in the black and then I purchased it in the stripe as well. I do like the black, but the stripe is just gorgeous - the fabric is softer and thicker and hangs so beautifully. I absolutely love it and am so glad I bought it. As with the other Bird Keepers items I've purchased I bought a 12 even though I am generally a 14 and it was perfect.

I love this dress. It's the first dress I've worn that suits me and my body type perfectly. Defiantly go down a size. I'm a 14 bottom and usually 16 top and ordered the 14 on seeing other reviews to go down a size. The 14 still has plenty of room. The fabric is high quality and every time I've worn it I've been asked where I bought it from. It's great for casual days or can be dressed up too. Very cool in the hot weather. The length is great on me, even though I'm short at 166cm - I have chunky legs, so the length and the back being a bit longer seems to make my legs look slimmer. Love this dress. Easily my favourite purchase :)
Would love more colours in this dress, or even the black colour back in stock - please birdsnest girls get this dress in a block colour!

Nice little dress to throw on for school pick up or heading to the beach. I ordered a 6 (normally an 8), and whilst it fits it is still big! Will certainly hide the post Christmas partying!

This is one of those purchases that you know is perfect! The fabric, the cut, and the verstility of this dress makes it one of my favourites for summer. Only a recent purchase, but everytime I have worn it I've been asked where I bought it from.

Thanks to the reviews previous I went a size down when purchasing. This is still nice and roomy but I also benefit from also having some shape too. Very good quality material and will suit everyone.

I wasn't quite sure about this dress from the photos, but since it arrived I've hardly taken it off! It is so comfortable and very flattering on my thin, athletic shape. Dressy or casual, it sits beautifully and feels fantastic on.

I'm usually a size 12, this is a very generous fit under the arms & around the bust. I have returned in exchange for a size 10, and it is perfect.

I am very happy with this dress, it is cool & comfortable. Like the other swing dresses from Bird Keepers it is on the large side, so I went down a couple of sizes.

Not quite what I expected but after playing with the dress in flats, heels, scarves I love it! It is very basic therefore very versatile and it is flattering - there is no tummy to se. I bought a size smaller as suggested and for me who is a size 14 it is a perfect fit. The only thing I wish was that the material was a little nicer but, it does not impact on how this dress flatters.

i have 2 of these dresses love them comfortable to wear easy to care for

Comfortable style quality material

Very comfy dress, perfect for summer and it hides the belly well... I am a 12-14 and I bought the 12

Liked the look of this dress so much I bought it in both colours (great price!).
Can't wait to wear them - dressed up or dressed down.
Perfect sizing

I am a pear shape and this dress just skims over my bad bits! Its a lovely cool fabric and will be perfect for casual summer days.

I was a bit hesitant in buying this dress but after reading the reviews helped me to make a decision. Normally I am a 14 but got the 12. It is an amazing fit and will buy another for backup. I dont normally wear dresses but felt nice and girly. Thank you.

This dress is amazing ! It is so flattering and comfortable to wear I have already ordered another one as back up !! It is the perfect length - just above knee - so I can wear it to work and sit on the floor with my students comfortably or I can team it up with a pair of heels and some nicer jewellery for a night out with the girls. So happy !!

Very forgiving size.. I'm normally a 14-16 and chose the 14. Probably could have gone a size down but it feels great on and hangs lovely. You can really dress this item up or down depending on how casual you'd like to go. Would really love to see it in more colours!

Lovely dress. Roomy fit, flattering - doesn't cling to your bra straps/back. The fabric is great quality. Love the length!

I received this dress in the post yesterday. It will be fabulous for summer. So easy to throw on, add a pair of sandals and a long necklace and you can look good but still be cool and comfortable. Great dark navy!! Its quite a full dress but it hangs well on me.

Lovely casual dress for summer. I'm normally a 14-16 but bought a 12 and it fits perfectly. Drapes nicely and hides my tummy.

Comfy and cool, dressy enough to wear to the shops and casual enough to wear to the beach. Love it!

This is a lovely dress for summer. Very light and cool. I am sure I will get a lot of use out of it.

I love the cut of this dress - perfect for my pear shape. It's just the right length for me too as it sits above the knees at the front and has extra coverage at the back. Highly recommend.
