Baukjen sale- further reductions.

[DIddled]

Some further reductions today- I ordered a few items :)

I thank you....

Yay! My stuff arrived this morning- I only ordered yesterday- just need to clamber into big Knicks to try on- can't be bothered just yet.

Rosie maxi is lovely but I fear much too long for my littleness- it's only £55.00 as well

What is their sizing like? Never ordered anything but love some of their stuff. I can be anything from a size 6 to 10 depending on make and style.

Just used their fitting tool on the website which seems an excellent idea even asking if you like a snug to loose fit. Recommended size 8 though 10 is a best fit on the bust and 6 a best fit on waist and hips. Seems logical - wonder if it works?

PJ would say average to small- long lengths though.

I am a curvy hippy 12 and I generally get a 12 in the dresses. I find that sizing tool not that helpful. No free returns though the cost of returns through Royal Mail has come down of late.

I just love their styles as they are simple and sexy- I am in my 40's and I struggle on the high street to find stuff I like, so I try and wait for sales at Whistles Baukjen Lk Bennett etc. I used to be a complete Lk Bennett fiend, but I think their last couple of seasons have been very poor , very drab and old fashioned.

Has anyone got the Sienna jumper dress? www.baukjen.com/uk/baukjen-sale/sienna-jumper-dress-grey-melange.htm

I'm not sure if I could get away with the 6. I'm usually an 8 - 10 but it says it's 'oversized'.

Thanks DIddled. I am 5'10" so long lengths are great - I really struggle to find long enough dresses.

Curvy is good too - there is such a thing as a curvy size 8!

I also like simple and sexy (same as how I like my men !) and am in my 40's

No free returns seems the only downside. Think I'll order one dress and see how I get on. Think I'll go for the classic wrap in cobalt as the purple is sadly out of stock.

I got the Rosie Maxi and it's really, really lovely- but very long! I'm 5'6" and will have to get it taken up...

Just tried on the Rosie and it buries me sadly, it's about a foot too long.
Really pleased with my Jessica dress though- I have it in two colours, it's very flatterering.

What colours do have the Jessica dress in DIddled? It looks lovely on the website.

I have the black and the ink ( which is a purple colour). It's really nice. I don't have the figure of the model on the website sadly- I am quite hippy- but it still looks ok. It's double layered so holds you in.

I got the Jessica dress in the sale as well, in berry colour. It does "hold you in" - it is so snug I when take it off I feel like I am being born. It is a dress that takes no prisoners.

I have to say that male colleagues do stare a little when I wear it at work. But I am perfectly covered up and it gets compliments. I had to take up the length by 8 cm off the bottom as I am a petite 5 ft, so agree with the previous poster who said baukjen goes long.

I don't think I would wear it for work- bit too saucy! Do you think it's ok for a black tie do- I was going to dress it up with seamed tights, heels and sparkly earrings. I have a couple of dressy dresses but I don't want to wear them?

Lol at the Jessica dress being saucy! I did ask my dh, who works in the same professional environment as I do, whether I should send the dress back and if not, whether I can wear it in the office. He said NOT to send it back, he likes it, and yes, I can wear in the office as I am covered up. But it is my hottest dress for the office so far.

I don't know how long the dress is on you but I can see it at a blacktie do, especially if the dress sits on or slightly below your knee. If it is an office blacktie do, I find people don't really go to town anyway. It is a nice sleek dress which will look nice and discreet dressed up as you suggested. The only thing is that the dress is quite restrictive - I can barely part my legs to walk so will be quite difficult for dancing, if dancing is involved.

I love my Jessica dress. I have a few items from Baujken and love them all except for the wrap dress. I just can't figure out how to tie it properly.

I wouldn't wear the Jessica to work. I'm a bit too curvy!

Is the berry colour quite loud?

The berry colour is quite true to what you see on the website. It will be quite bright for the office, but I tone it down with nude shoes. So far, I have only worn it on dress down Friday but gearing up the courage to wear it on other days.

Outside of the office, it is a pretty normal colour.

As a colour, it will be less forgiving of lumps and bumps than black and this dress will show every curve. In fact, I don't wear knickers with it!

I am not very curvy on top (actually quite er, gamine) so I guess it is not OTT for me in the office.

Sounds like maybe I should go for a Jessica then as I do have a figure like the model on the website.

Blueshoes I am
Hoping not to be 'parting my legs' much :) - I will stay for the dinner and then bog off before it gets to dancing ( I am
Out Saturday also - this old lady can't do two nights out in a week)

Diddle, lol.

pink, definitely flaunt it!

The Audley dress was lovely- but a bit too tight around the hips- sad as it is a classic style.

I really liked the Audley dress too but they did not have my size in black.
