Choose your normal dress size, then your normal cup size. If you're between dress sizes (eg, 10-12) we recommend sizing up. The shirring at the back helps nip in the waist and ensure a comfortable fit.
Get ready to pull this one out on high rotation this summer. The Ella Mini Dress is a timeless fit and flare style, with a feminine wrap top appearance in the bodice, delicate puff sleeves, and elevated shirring at the back to ensure a comfortable fit all day long. Ella was designed to pair perfectly with your favourite bra, with extra space built into the bust area and a sneaky side zip to ensure easy on and off.
To top it off, Ella has a clever hook and eye closure at the neckline so you can choose your coverage level. Plus, it has pockets!

This was my, “F it, it looks nice online, I’ll give it a try and return if I don’t like it” purchase. This purchase sent me into a bit of a frenzy where I suddenly needed to buy more (which I did).
Love this dress, super flattering and couldn’t be happier with the bust coverage.
More colours please 😬🤞🏼
Store owner replied:
Oh my goshhhh Amberrr!!! You look so stunning in the Ella Mini Dress it makes us to happy to hear you love it! Thank you for your review! 😚✨
Perfect fit for anyone with a narrow band and extra large cup size. The pockets are satisfying and actually fit a phone.
Store owner replied:
Hooray for pockets that actually fit your essentials! This is exactly what we love to hear ☺️ Thank you so much for your lovely review, Elizabeth! We’re so glad you love our Ella Mini Dress as much as we do!
Love this dress, super cute and has pockets! What's not to love?
Store owner replied:
The Ella Dress is just amazing isn’t it! We’re so happy you love her just as much as we do! Thank you for your beautiful review Jessica! 💖
Once on, this dress fits my waist and bust perfect. But the process of getting this dress on is more of a struggle. Getting the dress over my bust (with the zipper open) is so tight. I feel like I’m about pop a stitch.
I do love this dress and look forward to wearing it.
Store owner replied:
So happy to hear you love the Ella Mini Dress Fatemeh! Thank you for your review! Xxx
Always adore receiving an order! This dress is super stunning and would be flattering on all body types. Don’t think twice, buy it. You won’t regret it.
Store owner replied:
Awww yay Vanessa what a gorgeous review, thank you so much for taking the time to write this! We’re so happy to hear you’re loving it 🥰
Absolutely stunning dress. Fits perfectly and is wonderful post-partum as well
This dress is so pretty, cute and feminine! To have found a dress that fits my boobs and body without looking like a tent is such a nice feeling! Thank you!
Store owner replied:
Yayyyyy Tahnee we love this review! So nice to have something so beautifully made to work with your bust and not against it! ❤️❤️
Absolutely LOVE this dress! It is flattering and sophisticated yet sexy. I feel so good in this dress as it fits perfectly everywhere. It's amazing how different you can feel when wearing a quality made, well fitting garment - thank you Marvell Lane, my collection of your amazing, quality products is very quickly growing. Please keep coming out with new styles.. perhaps a peplum top of sorts? ;) xx
Store owner replied:
Awwww Ashley-Rae this review is so beautiful! Thank you so so much for your kind words and your ongoing support it means the absolute world to us! We put so much love, time and care into carefully crafting each garment and it’s so nice to hear that it’s made such a difference for you! We can’t wait to continue to expand our range in the future to allow our busty community to grow their ML collections. Thank you ❤️xxxx
This dress fits perfect!! Ive also got great cleavage with this dress or the little hook gives some modesty.
Store owner replied:
Yayyyy so glad you’re loving the Ella Mini Dress Chanel! She’s an absolute game changer xx
Love it!! On my 160cm frame, this is just above the knee which is perfect. The shirring on the back is the major win here. I think a 12 would’ve been a bit big, but a 10 (without the shirring) would’ve been too small. Because it’s there, it’s a lot more forgiving between sizes and just WORKS. The fabric is beautiful and light/cool, but is thick enough and lined that it’s not see through and lumps and bumps don’t show through. I’m a 10J and this provides JUST enough coverage for me done up with the hooks. It emphasises my shape beautifully which is a challenge post partum!
Thank you, ML team!!
Store owner replied:
Hey Mary! Thank you so much for your gorgeous review!! We are so glad you are loving wearing your Ella Mini and enjoying all it's additional features 💞💞 xoxo
So feminine so beautiful , makes me feel confident.
Store owner replied:
Hey Carolyn! Yayyyy, this makes us so happy you’re loving the Ella Mini Dress! Summer staple incominggg! 🤩 xxx
Needed this dress as soon as i saw it! It is beautifully made as all Marvell Lane items are and fits really well. It's a great, short but not too short, length and looks so flattering.
Store owner replied:
Hey Kelly! Thank you so much for your review! So happy to hear you’re loving your new Ella Mini Dress! We appreciate your support Xxx
