I've always loved it though not seen it in the "flesh" so to speak.
It does look a little short?
Arianna but i'm definitely not as tall as the model so will probably hit the knee on me??
Its reduced now but i'm not sure if i should get it Confused

Do you have it? Do you love it? Would you buy it?

sorry not keen. It's a bit 'busy' for me

FrancesFarmer · 01/06/2012 14:10

I think it's worth a try.

If it fits well, it would be a good versatile piece to have in your wardrobe.

If you do, get it from here

On sale. £100 less!

I like it a lot. Order it and see what it is like. You can always return it if you don't love it.

MarshaBrady · 01/06/2012 14:14

Oh just saw you said it is reduced any way. Grin

OhCobblers · 01/06/2012 14:32

You're all very good "enablers" Grin, however, i think the reason i'm wavering is that the any VW dress i get has to be a classic that can be worn anywhere (can't justify the £ otherwise) so i'm worrying that its too short.

I've just had a thorough search and found the grey "snake" dress but only on a US website and the Black "boudica" dress (both by VW) which i think would be much more practical if not a tad predictable!! If i had a ton of money going spare i'd buy both but ...

i like it more in red.
nice dress though. bet it is flattering

FunnyLovesTheJubilee · 01/06/2012 15:06

the check Anglomania is lovely though. If you are smallish those stripes might swamp you

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 01/06/2012 15:14

Buy it!!

It's one of my favourite dresses ATM (don't have, just lust after it). Very flattering, suspect and the stripes will make you look taller too.

this is an utter bargain but only if your tiny. this too, but only in an XL (14?)

But, you should buy the stripy one 'cause it's fantastic.

OhCobblers · 07/06/2012 15:28

Well you'll be thrilled to know that i'm still proctrastinating Confused but only because i've seen another Anglomania dress that i think i prefer and is cheaper!!

however, i've bought an Anglomania dress before (i think from the Outnet) and returned it because a 12 was too big - do all styles size up the same?? i'm not sure that a 10 is right for me either? Confused

Ooh, do we get a link?

No idea on sizing I'm afraid - hopefully someone will have.

AmberNectarine · 07/06/2012 19:14

I've got an Anglomania and it is a size S, and is a little big on me (size 10). Originally ordered a M but had to return and that was 1 week post partum when I was a good 14 so I think they size large, if that helps at all which I doubt

MidnightinMoscow · 07/06/2012 19:28

I have tried an Arianna on in pink and blue - it does come up big so size down. Also I found it really big in the chest area too.
