I tried on a dress in store which I was told fit the same and then ordered this smoky blue dress in the same size. The darts near the bust stuck out funny and the shoulders were way too big on me. I have a long body and there was about an inch extra fabric at the top of my shoulders. For the price I needed it to be something I loved but unfortunately this one got returned.

Bought this in the grey/blue colour and am really pleased with it. It fits well and is super comfortable. Not sure what I will team it with to make an outfit but I guess I'll find something somewhere.

This dress is everything!! I’ve looked everywhere for something fitted that didn’t cause asphyxiation by boobs, but still gave me my waist. I feel like the real me in this, I don’t have to hide under a hideous shapeless bin bag of a party dress this season!

This dress is stunning and versatile and also comfortable! It's difficult to find all requirements in one dress. The fit is true to size, no problems with darts other reviewers have mentioned. The fabric is just heavy and supportive enough while still having stretch and movement. I had to step into it rather than put over my head. I'm 5 foot 3 and slim and this fits just below the knee. It is a tight fit around the knee but the in and out shape is very flattering. The neck is a high scoop, with the figure hugging design it is a good balance to have the slightly higher neck line and longer length. It's also great to have three quarter sleeves so that in Winter you don't have to hide the beautiful cut of the dress with a cover up. I have the blue which is between a petrol blue and a dark turquoise-really pretty and flattering. It is a lovely change to not have to buy black or red particularly on the run up to Christmas. I can imagine wearing this classic dress to many different occasions and will be giving it it's inaugural outing tomorrow on a weekend away to a romantic hotel with my husband-I'm sure he'll love it!
