About average - maybe slightly on the small / narrow side. I am the same in LKB as in other shoes (well, the one pair I own!)

Thank you.

notice the material is jaquard which means a bit like curtains or sofas-it might be rather stiff- have you seen it in the flesh?

I find their sizing ( don't own any, just tried) average - a 10 felt like a 10.

I think with their clothes its more they definitely cut for people who are 5ft5 or above - so for me being only 5ft they never fit as waist in wrong place etc.

Shoes are fab though - have worn to death a pair from last year.

Like the dress - there's a very pretty pale grey one in there at the moment. much nicer in the flesh

Moondog, I am not sure where you are based but John Lewis stock LK Bennett so you might be able to nip in and have a try on first.

Sorry to be blunt moondog but IMO the neck has a touch of, er, kaftan about it...

Oh, comment away!
(I do)
You are indeed right but I am ageing hippy therefore is it acceptable?
Am thinking sort of Talitha Getty on Marrakesh rooftop in, say, 1968..
