The Anna wrap dress fits like a glove. I got so many compliments at the party, everyone kept asking where I got it!

Why I chose this
I only add a piece to the shop if I'd happily wear it myself. I look for pieces that are easy to style and work for more than one occasion. If a piece wouldn't earn a spot in my own wardrobe, it doesn't go in the shop.

Some mornings the jumper is the easy part. It is everything below it that takes the time: the pants feel too plain, the dress feels like too much, and you end up in the same outfit as last week. The Hortense™ was designed for the woman who wants one skirt that makes those mornings simple.
It is a calf-length skirt with an elastic waist, two large front pockets and a row of buttons at the front, finished with a softly rounded, gathered hem that gives it a relaxed, easy shape.
Most skirts look lovely on the hanger and then stay there. They pinch at the waist, they leave you nowhere to put your hands, or they only work with one exact top.
A fixed waistband that felt fine in the morning can feel tight once you sit down for lunch, and you spend the afternoon adjusting it.
Hortense has an elastic waist that gives as you move and sit, so it stays comfortable from your morning errands to the drive home.
Without pockets, your keys end up in your coat and your hands never quite know where to go.
Two large pockets at the front hold the small things and give your hands a natural place to rest.
Some skirts need the perfect blouse to look right, and on a busy morning there is no time to hunt for it.
The calf length and relaxed shape pair just as easily with a chunky jumper as with a simple long-sleeve top, and the button detail keeps the look finished.
You want clothes that feel easy all day and still look like you made a choice. A skirt should work with your jumpers, your ankle boots and your everyday pace.
Hortense comes in Red, Coffee, Black and Navy, in sizes M through 4XL, so you can pick the shade that fits the rest of your wardrobe.
It is a crisp Saturday and you are heading to the farmers' market, then out for lunch with your sister. Hortense in Coffee, a cream jumper, your ankle boots and a tote over your shoulder. Your phone sits in one pocket, your hand rests in the other, and the skirt swings around your calves with every step. When you sit down at the café, the waistband stays comfortable and you forget about it.
No waistband that digs in after lunch.
No hunting for a place to put your phone.
No searching for the one top that makes it work.

A beautiful dress and fast delivery. I thought the colour looked a little different than in the photo, but in person it's even more beautiful. Definitely recommend!

I ordered the wrong size because I missed the size chart. That was my own mistake. Customer service sent me a new size, so it took a bit longer, but the dress fits perfectly now!

I’ve been buying clothes online for years, and Nora Sydney is definitely one of the better shops. One slight downside: the website could offer a few more filter options.
