Ammora | Breezy Linen Pants

Margaret, Mount Maunganui

Covers my arms without a cardigan, finally!

I'm 67 and I'd honestly given up on sleeves. Everything stops at the widest part of my arm, so I've spent years with a cardigan over the top, sweating through summer. This one comes to just below the elbow and I don't feel the need to cover up at all. Wore it to a long lunch at the Mount and felt like myself again. Thank you, Rose.

It doesn't cling to my middle

I carry my weight around the tummy now and most dresses grab hold of it by eleven o'clock. This fabric skims straight past and falls away, I can sit down after lunch and not feel like it's stuck to me. Light, cool, and it actually breathes in the heat. Worth every cent.

Jocelyn, Napier

The colour is EXACTLY like the photo

I've been burned before. I ordered 'sandy beige' from another shop and got something closer to pink. The apricot arrived exactly as it looked on my iPad, lovely in the daylight. After 80 years I'm not afraid of a bit of colour, and this is the first online shop that gave me the colour it promised.

Raewyn, Hastings

Goes up to my size, same lovely cut

I'm an 18 to 20 depending on the brand and I'm so tired of shops that stop at XL or shove us into something frumpy and boxy. This has the same flattering cut as the smaller sizes, a bit of shape, not a sack, and it was the same price too. I nearly cried. Someone finally made something for women like me.

Kate, Papamoa

Three women asked me where it was from

Wore it to my granddaughter's christening and three different women asked me about it. Three! It looks far more expensive than it was, and I could dress it up with a change of earrings. I don't usually leave reviews but this one earned it.

Lorraine, Bay of Plenty

The dress for the whole day

Market first thing, café at eleven, the chemist, then school pick up for my grandson, one dress carried me through the lot and I never once tugged at it. And it has proper deep pockets, not the painted on kind. Both hands free for the shopping bags. Practical and pretty, which is a rare thing.

Dianne, Whakatāne

Real fabric at last

So much of what's online now feels like armour, that cheap, nasty material that makes you sweat. This is soft and cool and feels like proper cloth. You can tell the difference the moment you put it on. I've already ordered a second in the other colour.

Susan, Auckland

Mother of the groom, sorted

I had one dress to find for my son's wedding and I was dreading it. This was flattering, comfortable through the whole day of speeches and photos, and it covered the bits I wanted covered without hiding me away. I felt elegant, not invisible. So glad I took the chance.

Beverley, Rotorua

A real person actually replied

I'm not very confident at the checkout and my card wouldn't go through, so I sent an email expecting silence. Someone named Rose wrote back within the hour, kindly, and sorted it for me. That's restored my faith in buying online. I'll be a customer for life just for that.

Colleen, New Plymouth

Here in two days, tracked the whole way

I had a function on the weekend and needed it in time, other shops have left me waiting four weeks from overseas. This came from within New Zealand in two days with tracking the whole way. No stress, no overseas wait. Lovely dress too.

Heather, Hawke's Bay

The one I stopped saving for 'good'

I bought it for a special occasion and now I wear it on ordinary Tuesdays, because why not. Machine washed it, hung it out, ready by morning, no creases. Comfortable enough for the garden and smart enough for lunch out. This is just me now, put together without the effort.
