Nice dress, shame about the length

No, I don't recommend this

This has the potential to be a very nice 'going out in' dress but it is a little shapeless. I bought my usual size 14. Also the length on me (at 5'4") was just on the knee and for an older person that isn't particularly flattering. I paid a bargain price for it though I would have almost certainly sent it back had I paid full price. On the positive side the colour is lovely (a nice change from the usual dark blues and blacks of these types of dresses) and the all over design is quite stunning and gives the appearance of being embossed.

An attractive, smart little dress which I'm sure will come in useful over Christmas. Lovely fabric, very comfortable. Excellent value in the 'Gifting Promotion'.

Perfect Dress

Yes, I recommend this

Wow, I am so glad I decided to order this dress, I just love it. Ordered the other red one at the same time the one with the lace yoke neckline, but that one is not a patch on this. This is much better in the flesh than the picture, I love the burnout material, it is a lovely fit, did go up a size tho, absolutely thrilled with this one.

Gorgeous Dress

Yes, I recommend this

I loved this dress but the website said it was 98cm long when it is actually 88cm. I also ordered other dresses in the same style quoting the same length, which they weren't. Such a shame as I had to return them all. I am 5'3" and they were all above my knee! Please do them in a 98cm length as I like them just below my knee.

velour burnout skater dress

Yes, I recommend this

A nice dress, lovely material though redcurrant in this dress is duller than another velour dress I ordered at the same time I am just 5 1 and aged 60 + but the dress was a perfect length for me. I normally wear size 14 in a dress but the 12 was a better fit. .

A lovely dress

Yes, I recommend this

This lovely understated dress has a nice 'festive feel' without being OTT. It's really comfortable and easy to wear. I am quite short so the skirt length was fine. Am really pleased to have found it on the website.

Velour Skater Dress

Yes, I recommend this

Very flattering design and lovely fabric. I would have liked the dress to be a little longer but that is just my taste. Also, it is a good crossover design from informal to evening wear.

Lovely dress.

Yes, I recommend this

This dress fitted well and with the longer sleeves was flattering to my figure. The colour was perhaps on the dark side but will be fine in artificial light. I like the feel of the burnout velour and it will be good for going out without the glitz that is on everything from now till Christmas. It might be short for some taller ladies but I am short so was fine. Please could Marks go back to giving us the actual length of dresses and skirts as per the shop as It is no use to me saying the height of the model!!!

Stunning Autumn Dress

Yes, I recommend this

This dress is beautiful. It fits well but be aware it has a heavy drape due to the weight of the fabric so if you wish it to flatter any lumps and bumps maybe size up? The fabric is truly stunning; the picture online does not do it justice as it's hard to see the pierced detailing. The tiny spots are actually a design on the fabric rather than pierced detailing and it shimmers slightly but in an understated way. Velour or crushed velvet looks to be massive this autumn so get in quick to buy this dress. The three quarter length sleeves are very flattering and the colour is a deep rich wine purple. This would look great with a leather jacket and boots of a dressed down look, or with heels and opaque tights. Can't wait to wear it!
