Has anyone ordered or seen the Isabella Oliver shift dress in RL?

I am unsure whether to order it or not as the return postage isn't free so need a nudge.

No but IMHO none of their stuff quite looks as good as you hope it will

Have ordered countless things from them over this year and all bar one been sent back. Sizing is very generous. Fabrics not always good quality (leggings were transparent!). The one dress I kept, the long tank dress, is lovely but I end up hating it every time I wear it as it constantly slips down at the front and shows my bra. Oh and I bought it, paid full price and then got voucher for free postage and 15% off so I sent it back and reordered it and saved myself about £20!

thanks - that's just what I needed to hear. Will stop thinking about it now.Wonder if their reviews are real - they are always glowing.

I imagine if they are, they are all from similar ex model types! Shame really as I do love the style of the stuff they do.

I love IO (sorry!). I have a pencil skirt I love and a really nice quality jacket. I'm about to order a couple of things actually, was also considering the shift dress, but I find it a bit expensive for that sort of dress.

Regarding sizing, I'm usually a UK8 or US4 but in IO I'm a C which they say is US6 and UK8-10, so I disagree that it's generous.

I think they come up big too and I like the quality - I have a pencil skirt that always gets compliments.

IO is fantastic, I have their wrap dress and I ADORE it, washes brilliantly, great weight jersey...

their customer service is always good and I think their quality is very good.

try them..Smile
