Fit for purpose

No, I don't recommend this

Purchased this for a funeral was the only thing I could get in time for it as most stores not delivering during this time Material .....I looked like giant piece of black fuzzy felt Price so cheap cannot complain but would have returned it if normal shops were open, would never have purchased it in store even at sale price Would not recommend this dress at all but that’s only my opinion Was a bit big but I ordered it larger than usual size as did not have time to exchange it if it had been smaller than real size

Great black dress

Yes, I recommend this

This dress has very nice material, fits well and is super elegant. You can wear it casually if you would pair it with trainers, or it could definitely be good for the night out with heels and a nicer belt. The dress feels very warm, the neckline is quite tight, but not uncomfortable. If you do not like tight clothes, or would like a looser fitting dress, you might want to go a size up, because the dress feels a bit small. However, even though I thought it will be hard to put it on, once it is on it feels like a glove, and has some widening by the lower belly. The material is not stretchy, but despite that, the dress is super soft.

I love this dress!

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this dress twice in the sales. It fits so well, the style is timeless and it’s very warm. It’s a perfect winter dress and though simple it looks quite smart.

Bought this I have to be honest in the seventy per cent sale, it is such a well cut dress and so slimming looked at other reviews and was great advice to go up a size. Liked it so much bought two colour black and grey.

Nice dress but not a goos fit

Yes, I recommend this

This was a nice dress but came up a bit small and as there was no stretch to the fabric it was just too tight. I am a size 8/10 and bought a 10. It also felt too tight around the neckline and as this was high It felt very uncomfortable, so sadly returned.

Nice dress, a bit clingy so consider upsizing

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely colour (more greens and other dark colours other than black and navy please), lovely shape, would have been a perfect work to evening dress for the colder months if it were not a little clingy on my mature size 10 frame. Would look awesome on a younger firmer frame and with a leather jacket thrown on top + sneakers / heels.

Warm and comfortable dress

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this in turquoise as husband says I look good in that colour and I have the same style dress in black/khaki zebra pattern. This fitted just the same and is cuddly warm. Another reviewer complained the material was like fleece pyjamas but actually I rather liked that as it’s so snuggly. Not sure if it will wear as well as the other one Over time though as the material might bobble a bit. As with the other dress I’m not sure I completely like the mid calf length (I am 5’3”) but it would be easy to take up to just below the knee if I Want to. Very pleased with my purchase.

LOVELY DRESS

Yes, I recommend this

Good quality fabric, easy to wear dress that can be worn with jewelry, scarves, etc.to dress up or down. I found the dress to be true to size for me and it hangs well. Although I did not wash it as yet, it would appear that it will wash well. This dress is perfect for many occasions and a useful wardrobe piece.

Flannel pyjamas

No, I don't recommend this

I have one in the same style, black with stripes. Really good shape on me and looks really smart. Love the teal colour, but what possessed you to use material that looks like flannel pyjamas? What were you thinking?

Useful day dress

No, I don't recommend this

I’d already bought two dresses of a similar style (camel and burgundy) and hoped a black one would be just as useful. Sadly the cut was slightly different and it didn’t hang well, a great shame.

Not a good fit

No, I don't recommend this

Loved the material but the style wasn't particularly flattering and the back of the dress didn't sit nicely on the back of my neck. Disappointed to be honest!

Lovely style.

Yes, I recommend this

Bought the fern green regular in the sale. I had similar dresses to this last year, with different sleeves and tie belt which are nice. I purchased the darker green with navy animal stripes in this style a little while ago, so knew the fit would be good and they are lovely and soft. 8 fits my size 8 and they wash very well.
