I am 5'8" Warm Spring hourglass and a size 4 or 6 US (4 normally, 6 during lockdown, apparently!) and the small fit perfectly. I bought both the small and medium as I was not too sure with the aforementioned weight gain and the cut being fitted if I needed to size up. Honestly, both would have worked. The larger size if I wanted to layer under it - easily could have while still enjoying the lovely nipped in waistline. My husband said he liked the smaller size however as it looked "neater". :) His eyes actually lit up when I tried on the Strawberry color. It was a hit and so a keeper. I love it too. So much so I purchased the Chocolate as well which looks so pretty under the Aurelia Cardigan in Ecru. I can see myself wearing it with chocolate tights and tall boots or booties in the Fall to work. Shape wear is essential with this dress however as the back is not double lined so undergarments will be visible. It is fitted after all. Anyway, I love it. One of my most favorite purchases. A lovely classic! read more »

I had read many reviews about this dress and eventually took the plunge and bought the one in strawberry in the sale. For a summer, it is a bright colour (it's definitely more spring than summer), but the alternatives did not excite me. As soon as I put it on, my husband really liked it. It fits well and falls just on or below the knee (I'm 5ft 4"). I'm a size 8 and in Kettlewell, a size S most of the time. It just needs a nice necklace and a pair of high heel shoes to set it off and will be a lovely dress on a bright summer's day on holiday. read more »

This dress is one of my absolute favorites! I am 5’10” and this dress hits just above my knees. I have it in 3 of my best colours. It is so so flattering and easy to wear and style that I automatically reach for it when I want to wear a dress. I hope this style does not go away! read more »

I really like these dresses but would love them to be 3" longer! I have 3 now but only wear them layered over a silky in autumn/winter with thick tights and boots because the dress does ride up and I don't like it being above the knee on me with bare legs or nude tights (I'm 5'9" with chunky knees and thighs!) The shape is very flattering though so I'm still happy with them! read more »

I like this style but it didn't like me: the small was way too tight over the hips and stomach (I'm an 8/10 but have a bit of pot) and I suspect the medium would have been too baggy on top. I'd say it's probably not sufficiently gamine for me anyway. read more »
