Joetta | Half-High Neck Loose Fit Knit Sweater Dress

I’m a busy mum of two and I don’t have the energy to overthink outfits. Sofie & Nola has become my go-to because everything feels easy but still put together. The fits are forgiving without being frumpy, and the fabrics feel so soft on my skin. I actually look forward to getting dressed now.

I usually avoid knit dresses because they cling to my tummy and show every line. The one I bought here drapes beautifully, isn’t see-through and somehow makes me look taller and slimmer. It’s the first time in ages I’ve put something on and felt instantly confident.

I was honestly a bit sceptical ordering from a new boutique, but the quality is far better than most high street brands I’ve tried. The coat I bought is fully lined, the stitching is neat and it still looks new after weeks of wear. It feels like something I’ll have for years, not just one season.

I struggle with online sizing — I’m always between two sizes and end up sending things back. With Sofie & Nola, the size guide was accurate and the descriptions were honest. I ordered my usual size and everything fit perfectly on the first try. That alone makes me want to order again.

I have sensitive skin, so most jumpers feel scratchy by the end of the day. The knitwear from Sofie & Nola is genuinely soft and comfortable, even straight on the skin. No itching at the neck or cuffs, and the shapes stay nice after washing. It’s become my ‘reach for it without thinking’ wardrobe.

I had a question about sizing and got a friendly, detailed reply within a couple of hours. They helped me choose the right size and even gave styling tips. It felt like talking to a person, not a robot. When the parcel arrived, there was a little handwritten note inside – such a lovely touch.

So many brands look great in photos but are impossible in real life – too tight, too short, or awkward to sit down in. The dress and coat I bought from Sofie & Nola move with me: school run, office, dinner, everything. I still feel like myself, just a slightly more polished version.
