I've never bought any ASOS brand stuff before, but it's bargainous, 100% cotton, feels so cosy and great quality. Also not as short on me (5'5") as it looks in the picture.

Oh, lovely - good find! Lucky you

Exactly what I'm after too, but at 5'10" I think it'd be a bit short on me.

Anyone seen anything similar in natural fibre that comes up longer?

Hmm, DH's first comment was "it's a bit short". I also have quite a long body and the waist doesn't sit in the right place. Shame as the length doesn't bother me too much and it is lovely otherwise.

What's the owl dress?

Lovely ones on celtic sheepskin!!

owl dress

I'm only 5'2, so no chance of it being too short on me.

Some of the girls on the MN vogue have said that the Celtic Sheepskin dresses are a bit shapeless.

The owl dress is nice, but don't think it would suit me.

Thanks for updating trixy. Between my height and long torso, seems this would be just another ill-fitting long top...

Nice dresses, Belle? I wouldn't have thought of them - maybe I took the name too literally as I imagine it to be all, um, sheepskin stuff in a fleecy sort of way!

How I envy the OP her cosy, longsleeved, flattering dress in natural fibre

Can the people who have already ordered it tell me what they're going to wear it with? I really like the look of it but have many dresses which hang uselessly in my wardrobe while I wear my go-to unform of jeans, stripy top and Converse . Inspire me then I can buy it - and possibly even wear it!

Sod it, ordered

Nice dress but I fear us large-titted lovelies would look awful in it. Same with owl dress.

Thanks Trixy

I'm still undecided

I've never ordered from ASOS before, are they fine about returns anyone know?

I'd like it with a lower neck. Agree with Pinot

MissKL I had no probs at all when I returned a load of stuff to ASOS. No guarantee they're always good, of course.

ASOS are fine with returns, have been in the past anyway. Free usually I think, and free delivery too.

Just wear with tights and boots Scootergrrl, add skinny belt if you like.... Sorry thats not very inspiring is it :)

And yes maybe it is better for the shorter, flatter chested people among us. I will try to consider that with my next dress recommendation!

The owl dress is so cute! I can't wear anything with shoulder frills or details though, as my shoulders are broad and I feel like a man in drag

I'll be wearing a cardi over it, as my arms are permanently bruised due to medication I take.

Love the look of it, but wrong colours for me, anyone seen anything similar in dark pink/purple/dark green?

ASOS are very good with returns usually.

I'm actually considering exchanging for the bigger size and see if it hangs a bit longer in the waist.

I find a slash neck quite flattering and I have big norks.

Pinot I have bought it in both colours and will wear it with opaques/leggings and flat shoes (bikers, ballets or brogues), and a denim or leather jacket with a scarf. It is on the short side but with flat shoes and full leg coverage I think it will be ok for mummy day wear.

Just bought it. Can't wait for arrival!

OMG i love that

i might get it in the grey

Would it hide a tummy...

I'm not sure fraggle but it does nip you in nicely at the waist.

Hopefully some other people will update once theirs arrive (and hopefully I won't be the only one who likes it )

Ordered this (in blue) based on this thread and it just arrived. 'tis lovely! Thank you so much Birds for the recommendation, I'd never have spotted it myself. Is surprisingly flattering (I'm 5'2 - so it's longer on me than the model), and a size 8/10 but with a slight mummy tummy, I ordered the 10 and it's great.
