What kind/colour of boots? Shoes? It's nicer than the pic and is very flattering.
If you hate it, you've no need to tell me, just scroll by.

I’ve just ordered it !
Brown ankle boots for the autumn winter or navy sandals if we get an Indian summer🤞

VictoriaEra · 02/09/2025 20:47

It’s lovely. I’ve got some tan ankle boots from M&S. they’d go nicely.

Gettingbysomehow · 02/09/2025 22:43

I agree with the poster who suggested wearing it with a fake fur gilet. That would look amazing.

Clarinet1 · 03/09/2025 14:33

I think tan leather boots with a definite slouch/wrinkle as long as the tops of the boots are higher than the hem of the dress (when standing). You could also wear a chunky knit sleeveless waistcoat (arran? ?embroidered) over it in the depths of winter. Also, what about a long necklace or pendant?

Mine just arrived and it's far too small across the bust! Gutted! I'm a reliable size 14 and a 36E and it just gapes on me. Worth noting for anyone thinking of ordering with a larger chest. Not even sure the 16 would fit, and any larger would mean the waist hanging weirdly Confused

Oh no that's such a shame!

@noramoo why not order the 18 and have it altered to fit the rest of you?

Loafbeginsat60 · 03/09/2025 20:01

I don't think it suits you at all and you should send it to me (if it's a size 8 petite)

Please....

😂

Seriously out of stock in every size? 🫤

SeptemberIRemember · 03/09/2025 20:07

When I look it’s still available in 12, 14 and 24.

Yes, I ordered one last night, plus a black denim one and some trousers, to take advantage of my Sparks 20% off.

TitaniasAss · 03/09/2025 21:28

Is the black one this one @SeptemberIRemember ? I love it, I didn't see it in black. It's shorted but v cute.

Yes, it is. Currently available in every size. £36, or £28.80 if you have 20% off.

I’m 5’ 3” but also ordered a Tall hoping it will be a bit longer. It won’t matter to me if the waist is a bit lower.

MiniCoopers · 04/09/2025 06:52

12 and 14 on its way, thanks OP!

WhereAreMyAirpods · 04/09/2025 08:27

I love that dress! I've been sitting on a £30 M&S voucher since my birthday in May as they had that cyber thing and I haven't been able to spend, but have just ordered. I shall wear it with my brown boots all winter. Love it.

MY 12 & 14 have just arrived 😉. Haven’t tried them on yet but it is lovely .

Jemimapuddleduk · 04/09/2025 17:07

I ordered it in 12 long due to this thread. It arrived today and I love it!!! I will wear with trainers or tights and biker boots/lace up boots/chunky Chelsea boots or cowboy boots. Tempted by the short black one now too!

Twoshoesnewshoes · 04/09/2025 21:21

I’ve got a really similar one from last autumn.
i wear it with brown Chelsea boots and chunky socks.
ive also worn a long sleeve stripy thermal top under it and I think it looked rather good.

Watchingthechaseagain · 04/09/2025 21:52

Mine is waiting to be collected.

damemaggiescurledupperlip · 04/09/2025 21:54

With a bonnet and buggy!

Thomasina79 · 05/09/2025 06:59

I agree a cardigan would not be suitable because of the sleeves. When it is very cold I wear a thin thermal layer underneath virtually everything which does not bulk out an outfit but keeps me warm. I cannot tolerate being cold nowadays. I like the dress too, in my opinion there are so many dresses which are unflattering at the moment, I hate tiers, off the shoulder and anything that is not cotton!

SemmaLina · 05/09/2025 14:12

Collected mine , top fits beautifully ( size 14 , wear a 34e bra )
But , I was completely swamped by it
I think the sleeves were the problem , big and a bit puffy and just didn’t suit me

WhereAreMyAirpods · 05/09/2025 15:21

Just picked mine up and it fits well. I am long in the body and short in the waist, the waist is about a centimetre too high but it's not so high it looks weird. The skirt falls just above the ankle so perfect with boots in winter. I really like the wee pearly buttons which remind me of a denim shirt I had when I was a student in about 1994 and wore until it fell to bits. Overall, pleased with it.

WhereAreMyAirpods · 05/09/2025 15:23

On the sleeves - yes quite puffy and you couldn't wear a cardi with sleeves with it, although a dark grey / navy / black tank top thing would work. I like that 3/4 length sleeve anyway.

JAS1983 · 05/09/2025 16:54

Collected mine earlier - size 12 regular (I’m typically a 12/14) and I love it! No idea what I’ll wear with it but def feels very adaptable and dress up/ down.

chattyness · 05/09/2025 18:20

It's a gorgeous dress I would choose black knee high boots like these hope the link works :
