Krisp dresses

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.

Hi, we do love a MN bandwagon Smile

I saw some other comments re the quality, but at that price I'm being realistic. If I like them I'll keep them, if not they go back. I don't mind viscose so much, good for rolling up into a case, polyester (the maxi dress) can be dodgy so I'll wait and see what they look like.

just got two! Grin

Sorry, I meant the style of the onto front one is flattering for apples. Not so much the batwing one.

Just ordered the navy polka dot! If it turns out okay I'll be back for more...

My Krispy dress arrived. It's this one
www.amazon.co.uk/Ladies-Stretch-Twisted-Sleeveless-Printed/dp/B00GBADX8E/ref=sr_1_75?s=clothing&ie=UTF8&qid=1403734917&sr=1-75

Fabric lovely, colours really nice, length - TOO SHORT. I'm only 5ft 3 but this is at least two inches above my knees and could definitely not been worn for work.
You young lovely things can get away with it but too muttony for me.
Sadly, it's going back.
Not sure how other posters who are taller have reported theses dresses fall on the knee Sad

Oh Cromwell I feel the same - got a place dot dress and it would be way above my knees (only 5.4) even standing up. Going to try one more time to see if any good over jeans, but not promising. The bust bit makes me look enormous as well, not in a nice way!

I could wear on the beach over a bikini or over leggings but neither are really my style so no point in keeping it. Maybe send to my 19 year old DD but probably not her style either.
Nice colour and fabric though.

cromwell44 · 26/06/2014 00:01

I should have said that mine was the blue colour, nice coral and white bits in the print too.

Igggi · 26/06/2014 06:49

Perhaps I am secretly 5 ft 8 but I have been measuring wrongly all these years!

Midori1999 · 26/06/2014 13:16

Does anyone with these dresses know if it would be possible to get a boob out to breastfeed in them please? Are they very stretchy? I've been looking for a couple of tunics/dresses I can wear with or without leggings but don't want to spend much, but being able to feed in the he is essential sadly.

cromwelll I ordered the same dress, which arrived today, and it is significantly shorter than the plain knot dresses. It would be great as a beach cover up or a long tunic but I am returning mine as well.

The plain ones are knee length.

rockybalboa · 26/06/2014 22:03

Midori, I am sure you could get a boob out, the v is quite deep (but not gapey) and they are stretchy.

FruitBasedDrinkForALady · 27/06/2014 23:15

I got this one and it's fantastic! I'm only 5ft 2 and it's perfect toe length. Got it in mink as they didn't have blue in my size, but now they do...argh!

Midori1999 · 29/06/2014 17:11

Thankyou! I will order a couple and try.

HowsTheSerenity · 03/07/2014 00:02

And I missed the post that said the dresses came up small. I bought three and they are all lovely but I'll have to not eat for a week (or three) for them to fit nicely.
