Unusual style

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this dress in the dark check. Couldn't see the weird cross pleating across the front of the dress online so this was a bit of a surprise! However I tried it on and was pleasantly surprised how good it looked. Very smart. Will look lovely with pearls or other necklace. It's autumn weight fabric makes it quite versatile too. Not the best of quality this fabric but a lined dress and for the money in the sale a bargain dress. Good fit size 18 again. 16s in MnS are a no for me despite other designers being a 16. Just have to deal with it I guess. Not a bad buy.

Would have fine with a lining

No, I don't recommend this

Really liked the colour of this dress but it was too tight. If there had been a lining I think it would have improved it 100%. Good style but it had to be returned.

Very figure hugging

No, I don't recommend this

This should have been a good, comfortable work dress, but it was very tight and revealing. Not appropriate for my office.

Like Phase Eight

Yes, I recommend this

This looks like a more expensive dress once you wear a slip. Otherwise, it doesn’t work.

Nice Dress

Yes, I recommend this

Ordered size 14 (my usual size) but a little to fitted on my hips so went with the size 16 a little loose but feels better, I'll love wearing it when it's a little cooler (not that I want this weather to end) love the colours and detail on front, a good buy, I'm very happy with it.

No, I don't recommend this

Looked ideal for the office, material nice and soft. That little detail on the waist at the front of dress made me look pregnant and I am not fat. Perhaps if the dress had been lined it would have made a difference . Looked great front view but not very flattering from side view. Disappointed because I loved the style and colouring.

Smart dress for work

Yes, I recommend this

I ordered this dress unsure if it would be too long for me (just under 5ft 6), and unsure if it might be aimed at an older customer. When I tried it on, the fit is perfect and makes my waist look small, a lovely thin and soft feel. Several people have noticed it and asked where its from. Really happy with it

I get so many compliments!

Yes, I recommend this

My mum bought me this dress, and I am so glad she did! It fits like a glove (I am a size 8, with 34B chest but quite a big bum). It is my new favourite. Everywhere I wear it, random women, young and old, will say "Excuse me, where did you get that dress? Its beautiful!" It makes me feel pretty.

Comfortable yet stylish

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this dress for work and am very happy with the purchase. It is a reasonably lightweight jersey fabric and figure hugging but not too clingy. There was a little ruching around the tummy area under the pattern cut but I am carrying a little excess weight in that area at the moment so the ruching was not unexpected! It was very easy to wear and despite the material being a little thin (and the dress not being lined) it still looked and felt very smart. I was a little concerned the dress may be too long given I’m 5ft 4 but the length was perfect and came just below my knee. I just wish they did it in other colour options as I would definitely buy this style again.

Not as described

No, I don't recommend this

Bought this dress thinking it wouldbe a classic staple dress. It arrived and what a disappointment. Fitted ok but no lining so stuck to me. Material is cheap and nasty. Returned it.

Lovely dress, just not for me!

Yes, I recommend this

Quality and design good. I'm 5' 2", the dress was cut for someone much taller. Unfortunately had to return. Shame!

Checked dress

Yes, I recommend this

Love the colours and the fit. A forgiving dress that is comfortable to wear and has been admired by others when I wear it. I wear it for work and it can transform quite easily to a going out dress if needed - different shoes and accessories.
