There was a thread recently recommending them so I ordered a couple. Mine arrived today and I'm dead chuffed! For the money they are great and really flattering. I was a bit worried they would be a bit a short but I'm 5 7 and the dresses sit just above the knee.

Thank you whoever recommended them Thanks.

Can you post a link to those that you ordered?

CanaryYellow · 19/06/2014 20:48

I've just googled them, there are some nice dresses on the website and very cheap - I'm going to order a couple for my holiday and see what they're like.

That's the same style I fancied skunk but I thought they would be a bit short at 84cm, no? There are some bargains to be had for sure, and some lovely prints.

Hey have got some lovely prints but they ones I really liked weren't in my size unfortunately. When I ordered from amazon if you ordered two there was free shipping, added bonus! Thought they would be ok for work.

Free shipping? Oh well it would be rude not to! Grin

What length are the dresses you ordered DaftSkunk? I can't wear much above the knee due to my great age Smile but am vy tempted by these dresses.

Beaverfeaver2 · 19/06/2014 21:20

Order black polka for one.

It's strange because I was just thinking to myself how id like a Polka dot dress!

WowserBowser · 19/06/2014 21:23

How's the sizing? The size 12s are mainly sold out.

Could i squeeze in to a 10?

Thanks for the link!

ThePerfectNegroni · 19/06/2014 21:25

What's the fabric like? They look ok but I dread the sweatiness of polyester!

I think you'd get away with sizing down, I'm a 14-16 and ordered a 14.

OP posts:
Beaverfeaver2 · 19/06/2014 21:28

The reviews said they came up small so I went for a 14 instead of my usual 12

cromwell44 · 19/06/2014 21:31

Just saw that you mentioned the length in the OP. I'm a shorty at 5 3 so definitely going to order. should get knee coverage at my height.

The length is 89cm, have double checked with a tape measure!

The fabric is ok, the printed floral one is better IMO as the polka dot one is nice but the dots are printed as opposed to part of the fabric, so would imagine they might fade over time in the wash.

I've ordered as well! This maxi is one of the prettiest I've ever seen, unfortunately I'm a short arse and they don't suit me.

Damn you all! My credit card is taking a walloping right now...

WildThong · 19/06/2014 22:41

Really we should get a mumsnet discount!

butterfliesinmytummy · 19/06/2014 22:48

Cute and great prices but too hot here for polyester....

rockybalboa · 19/06/2014 23:40

I just posted on the other thread! Mine arrived today, very pleased. Got the navy polka dot and the royal blue blue one. Plain one is different material (polyester/elastane) to the spotty one (viscose and something else) but both are very flattering and can be dressed up for work and down for casual wear. I want more!! Oh, I'm 5ft 3 and the length is perfect. Could even be a tiny bit shorter but not enough to make me alter them.

Igggi · 19/06/2014 23:58

..I should know buy now not to stray into S&B! Just bought two dresses Blush
I don't even wear dresses.

WildThong · 20/06/2014 07:49

Good to know rocky. Was it you who recommended that knot style for apples on the other thread? I've got the navy polka dot dress, a layered drapery scarf cardi, a maxi dress and blue flowery dress coming as well.
Same as Iggi, I don't normally wear dresses so hoping these will suit.

PeachandBlack · 20/06/2014 09:10

I've got a couple of the knot front dresses, navy and jade green and have just ordered the black/red poppy type print.

Use treat20 at the checkout for 20% discount until 22nd June.

No Wild, it wasn't me who recommended them initially, I just jumped straight onto the bandwagon on the other thread! I did also buy the oversize batwing dress which is vile though. No good for my belly and the black skirt section is very nasty cheapo fabric so that's going to have to go back. And not being Boden there's no free returns either. The style is bang on perfect for apples though, so flattering.
