Anyone own a Hush Kensington dress?

[howlingatthegate]

I've ordered and returned so many dresses for a party on Saturday. We're rural and the Post Office is a 10 mile drive so if accepted defeat but then I've
just come across this, is it worth a punt?
I'm 5'8 with a small bust, middle aged thick waist, size 12.

I have it in leopard print. It’s nice and flattering and easy to dress up or down. I’m small busted but relatively broad shouldered and it’s a tiny bit of a wriggle into it but fine once on.
As with most hush stuff I only ever wash it on a hand wash cycle.
One small downside for me is that the print (on mine) isn’t on the inside of the fabric which is more obvious in an uneven hem like that but not a sea breaker for me.

I can't decide if I like this or not...

I would say possibly with a small bust and thick waist (I'm the same shape) I probably wouldn't go for it. The stretchy waist bit I think might be more flattering on a curvy shape?

Are you tall? I'm 5ft3 so I suspect it would probably be on the ground.

What else have you ordered? Post photos when they arrive! I hate that feeling of 'nothing suits' and going nuts ordering a ton of dresses

Yes, I have it in two different patterns from different seasons.

I love it. I’m also a size 12, small bust and thick waist and it’s very flattering.

Oh sorry just seen you're 5ft8 (jealous!) Yeah in that case it could work! Also have just seen you've returned the other dresses.

Sorry. Need more coffee...

@SomethingBeginningWithX that's the one, I couldn't work out how to link.
Thank you for the replies, I'm going to risk it and will report back.

@SomethingBeginningWithX I have that dress (and a short sleeved red/pink Kensington which I love) and on 5'9, size 12, not much of a waist me it is really flattering. The ruched waist works beautifully to give me a waist

@CMOTDibbler what's the length like? I'd like to try it but worried I'm too short at 5ft3. The OP is about the same height as you so hopefully it will suit her!

@SomethingBeginningWithX I think it would be very long on you tbh as it is a really good length on me

Ah ok thanks. Stupid short genes

I have one
I’m 5ft 4 and an hourglass size 16
I get loads of compliments when I wear it

It would look awful on me, short waist and not as tall as you, with your figure to it could look fab

Just reporting back. It’s a nice dress but not for me, although I’m tall I’ve got quite a short body and the elastic waist had bunching over the top.
For someone with a longer body or bigger bust I think it would look good.

I love mine and get so many compliments when I wear it. I'm shorter than you, OP, but probably similar size and body shape. I wear it with a belt to accentuate my waist even more.
@SomethingBeginningWithX - I'm your height and its long, but I think it works OK.

I've got three. At first I wasn't sure about the hem and length but now I love them and like others I get compliments when I wear them. I'm 5'5" and size 14 with big boobs and find the fit easy and flattering. They are a bit tight in the arm but nothing uncomfortable.

Yes, lovely, most useful. I am 5 foot 1 and it hits above the ankle at the lowest point and below knee on the other parts - nice. Looks good, gives a nipped-in shape better than most waisted dress. Comfy.

I have 2 Hush Kensington dresses. I'm very pear, but do have a decent sized bust. I find them really flattering. I'm just shy of 5f 6, but have a long body. Hush things often aren't designed for a bust, waist and hips, but this style works for me.
