I think it's lovely.

Really beautiful, I've got the tea dress version and it's a lovely print, vintage but not in a cutesy way. Definitely get it, you'll get so much wear out of it. What colourway were you going to go for?

Great, I prefer the blue, I'm not sure about sizing as I am still bf'ing my DS. The 14 might be a bit tight on top will I ever resume a normal shape
I might order both!

The blue is beautiful, the black/cedar colourway is more grey toned in the background of the print than it appears on screen. I don't know whether you've tried any other FC dresses in that style before but sizing tents to be relatively generous but with the tie style to create a small waist, I'd be tempted to size up just in case. May as well get both....there is 20% off and FC don't do codes that often!

No not tried that style.
I have got this though in black in a 14 which is a bit snug at the mo, but was fine:

I like the print on the fanfare dress but it is quite low cut, they've pinned it even on the model. I like the blue colour though.

Oh yes, just noticed that! ah well can easily return if it doesn't suit, thanks for the encouragement :)

First one particularly lovely. Just right for the occasion, and lots of others.

Nice but not wow!
