Firstly, I am normally a Size 8 but went for the M as the S was sold out. Very glad that I did. As another reviewer mentioned, this style looks awful went it is too fitted - it is meant to be worn loose and casual. The drawstring allows me to pull in at the waist and keep a good shape. At just over five feet, this lies about an inch below my knees so is a lovely length with knee high boots. It isn't a heavy knit so for winter days will need layering - for myself, a Silky Polo underneath and thick tights. But will be a very good weight for cool summer or spring days. Secondly, colours. I ordered two. One in Frosted Grape - wasn't the colour I expected. Looks a little burgundy rather than true purple. It isn't a good colour for me as a Cool Summer but I think it would look fab on a great many people. Will be returned. The other in Navy - absolutely super! Makes the dress look far smarter. It reminds me of a beautiful "midnight velvet blue". A great addition to my wardrobe. read more »

Bought in the sale for a bargain price , was a lot shorter than in the pic, and also rather thin material. The colour was rather boring for me and also very plain for mee. Very comfortable on but sadly done nothing for me, so it's been returned. Sizes 10/12/ would be more suited!! Be great with tights and boots, and a good buy to bring us through to the spring. read more »

A beautiful colour and cosy dress. At the moment it's an absolute bargain! read more »

Beautiful dress. The cut, style and colour of the dress is superb. The weight of the fabric is just right, warm enough in winter however not so heavy that you get hot. I was a little worried about the tie waste however it is just perfect. It adds so much shape to the dress giving a super sleek silhouette (hiding my tummy). I’m size 12 and average height - the medium size fit me perfectly and the length was just right. The red is such a beautiful, rich colour. I have the red and the Ecru coloured one but will be ordering more. MORE please. read more »

I really like this dress. I already have a navy one which I wear for work. It is comfortable, smart and can be dressed up or down. I wear mine with the cotton rib bolero and it looks classy and keeps me nice and warm. I thought the sultry red would be a good colour for the Christmas season. read more »
