Great LBD

Lovely dress. I got the regular length which was perfect for me (I’m 5ft 8, size 12-14) I got a size 14. I probably could have bought the 12 but I didn’t want it to be too clingy.

Quality Dress, Great Price!

Yes, I recommend this

This dress is really cute. Love the flared sleeves. I went for the ‘tall’ fit, even though I’m short! As I’m the other side of 50(!) felt it should be a bit longer on me! The quality is good, as is the price too!

Beautiful dress for the price

Yes, I recommend this

Bought for a Christmas event, incredible value for money, very flattering fit. I do think the reverse side of the fabric feels a bit cheap but really can't complain at this price.

Velour not velvet in my opinion

I wouldn’t describe this dress as velvet but velour. Having said that the price is good but not what I wanted

Stunning!

Yes, I recommend this

Purchased for my daughter and she looks amazing in it!! Size 10 petite fit perfectly, wonderful to see the different lengths available as regular was too long in the sleeves and length for her. Fantastic value for money and looks much more expensive than it was. Would have loved this to also be available in more colours as well, particularly a deep red or green colour - I’d have bought them all for her!

Finally got my hands on this steal!

Yes, I recommend this

Targeted advertising brought this dress to my attention (shout out the M&S targeted advertising which is ALWAYS perfection for every member of my household!) but alas, no size 8 for weeks. Every morning and afternoon I refreshed the page, and then one day after many weeks, it appeared! It is every bit as good as its consistently sold out status indicates. Beautiful fit, beautiful look and perfect mid thigh length for me (5 foot 4.5), just perfection at that price point. I'll wear for Christmas with natural tights and sky high heels, but also with black tights and boots. Thanks yet again M&S

Great party dress

Really flattering, smart and stylish. I will be wearing this out over Christmas. I think the black velvet will look good with some seasonally sparkly jewellery. So far, have had lots of positive comments.

Great dress

This is a lovely velvet dress. The fit is great, lovely flare at the bottom. Quite short, which I like - I’m 5ft 4. I’ve worn sparkly tights or thick black tights with it. Add a sparkly brooch or bag and it really pops. Absolute bargain. Will wear it a lot over the festive period.
