I'm slightly obsessed with orange at the moment and this caught my eye.

Definitely not a £200 for a dress type of person these days. Sadly.

I liked the colour and shape of your first one. I had a fabulous t-shirt material orange dress about a decade ago that was slightly oversized up top but fitted over the hips so I could ruche it up. I loved it so much.

Ps, perhaps but orange enough for you but I bought a cotton shirt dress recently from JL that was beige/tan (?) With orange leopard print. Don't know if they still have it?

Really liking the James Lakeland on HoF. Shape looks really flattering and again I think black ankle boots would look great with it.

I have the Hobbs dress and it looks fantastic on a night out. I usually pair it with a cropped denim jacket and flatforms but I have worn it with a fur stole and heels and it still looked great.

It's very easy to wear Paq, comfortable soft cotton, and I took it in holiday and it barely creased in the suitcase.

If you like orange. I have this one and it's really flattering on. I dress it up with heels.

I ordered the first dress. The one you all hated. Sorry 😳

So the first dress is going back. The material is actually nice, much less shiny than the pictures but there wasn't enough room at the top for my norks. For someone more willowy than me I think it's a nice dress in a striking colour.

I've ordered this one next: www.houseoffraser.co.uk/brand/james-lakeland/black-v-neck-dress-yl2517#colcode=YL251701

The Cos one looks like she is wearing the door to the changing cubicle!

House of Fraser sent out the wrong size but it doesn't matter because the dress is red, not orange!

Is this dress nice?

Are House of Fraser still cheeky fuckers that make you pay for returning items?
