Looks great with boots. Got a size bigger and glad I did just to give a little more room.

Bulging stomach knot

This dress has a lovely fit and is great material although there is a major design flaw. It is hard to see from the picture online, however the dress has a knot tied into the material around the stomach area. This then encourages the material to bulge out over the stomach instead of going straight down. It attracts attention to you stomach rather than hide it.

Very odd fit and very small

I usually wear a 12 petite but this was very very small. The waist sits just below my bust and is so tight it almost hurts. Such a shame as length perfect and good fit around shoulders and arms as well as length. The design is lovely - but the peculiar proportions and fitting really let it down.

Knotted front dress

The dress looked good in the photos but in real terms looked cheap, and the knot at the front didn’t seem to know which way it should lie. Very strange fit at the waist.

I bought this dress online in a size 6 and size 8. The size 6 fitted well on the shoulders and hips but was a little tight on the waist. The size 8 was a better fit around the waist but too wide on the shoulders. The dress is not lined which for the price I thought it would have been. The dress is lovely but being a small petite I wasn’t too sure about the midi length so have returned them.

What a disappointment! Although it was petite, the sleeves were too long & the cuff did not allow easy alteration. The fit was bit on small side, but the main problem was the lump of material at the front,even if you were stick thin, it would protrude

Loved the material of this dress. But unfortunately had to be returned. I am normally a size 12. But after reading reviews from other people about the dress being small I ordered a size14 petite. It was still a very tight fit and the pleating on the front of the dress just did nothing for the style or hang of the dress. Very dissapointed all round.

Lovely fabric and fit. Can be dressed up or down and worn now with heels or boots and in the summer with sandals. Very versatile

Very happy with this dress, great colour. I’m 5,2 & it’s a perfect length & fit around the waist, yes it does gather at the waist but that is the style of a fit & flare. I would have preferred it to be lined but will get around that by buying a nude full length slip.

So dissapointing

Lovely material but so frumpy.Long sleeves did it no favours.The gathered material just above the waist gave it a peculiar shape,and did not fall in a very flattering way,I thought the petite size would tick some boxes but not at all.More material in the skirt may have given it more shape and style

I received so many compliments about this dress

I really love this dress. I'm 5ft 2 and the length is perfect. I wear it with heeled boots. It's loose fitting but has enough shape to it to be flattering. It is quite light and thin so you might need to pair it with a blazer or cardigan in cooler weather but it would be perfect for a nice spring day. The dominate colours are white black and grey although it does have neutral brownish tones through it.

Fabric beautiful - shame about the shape.

I read all of the comments about the odd shaping and fit, but I liked the fabric and colours so much I ordered it anyway. Unfortunately the comments regarding the baggy tummy area I felt were justified. It could have been the perfect midi dress without that excess folding over the tummy. It had to go back.

Classic Snakeskin

Just had to write a review as I totally disagree with all other reviews... this is a lovely dress. Yes the design does mean that the skirt 'kicks' out at the waist but this part of the charm of this classic dress. I am 5'3" and the petite version sits mid-calf; so it is long. Looks fab on I think and the fabric feels great. The colour is as the photos... not sure where the 'green' comes from.... dress is beige, black, creamy, brown tones which is so fashionable at the moment. Only downside, is it could do with being lined (but will use a slip) and the waist sits high (ok for me) and is a little tight... but as I said this is part of the design and I love it!!!!

Disappointing dress

I had high hopes but it didn't live up to the photo - colour was a bit more greeny and did me no favours and style and fit was not great - a shame as the photo looked good
