Best of British Double Layer Shirt Dress

Beautifully presented on a good wooden hanger and needed only minimal pressing. I love the colour and it is so nice to get away from the somber winter shades. The style is quite unusual, and apart from hiding a multitude of sins, is quite different in style from other designs in my wardrobe. It fitted perfectly and is an excellent length, being only 5ft this has not always been the case. I wore the dress to a drinks party that evening and found it very comfortable. Imagine my disappointment therefore when I became aware of the terrible creasing, it is this feature which caused the negative elements of my rating. I hung the dress up as soon as I got home and by morning most of the creases had hung out. However I am a little hesitant as to which occasions I will next wear the dress. I think it would have benefitted from a good lining.

This is a very smart dress in an attractive colour. The material is soft and comfortable: I just hope it does not crease when I wear it. I like the layered look; just that bit different and disguises the tummy area, which has to be a good thing for me. I have been considering Best of British but thought it was a bit pricy for me, so it was good to be able to try this at sale reduction price and I am impressed by the quality. Altogether, an attractive, easy to wear dress, that I think I will turn to often.

Loved this dress when I saw it on line. The colour is great and the style is a good idea however, it is on the big side. I usually take a 12 in M & S dresses but it was massive in a 12. The dress has pockets but as soon as you put your hands in the pocket the dress gapes mid thigh--- not a great look. The hem on the dress I received had the side seams sewn in the wrong direction at the hem line therefore causing a bulge in the hem. I would have expected a dress at this price to be lined which it wasn't. Sadly, I feel this is grossly overpriced even at the sale price.
