About average - maybe slightly on the small / narrow side. I am the same in LKB as in other shoes (well, the one pair I own!)

rubyslippers · 16/05/2009 17:56

clothing wise they are well cut and not skimpy IME

moondog · 16/05/2009 17:56

Thank you.
There's 20% off at the moment and I fancy a cracker of a dress for an important work do.

fab dress - beautiful colour and great detail

shoes are ££££ but last incredibly well

Clothing sizing is about average imho
Similar to Hobbs

I love that neck.Are you sure material not too sofa-ish???

notice the material is jaquard which means a bit like curtains or sofas-it might be rather stiff- have you seen it in the flesh?

I find their sizing ( don't own any, just tried) average - a 10 felt like a 10.

howtotellmum · 16/05/2009 18:28

I prefer Ollie and caroline ( carolyn?)
where does it say 20% off?

blametheparents · 16/05/2009 18:31

I luuurrrrrvvvvveeeee their shoes

traceybath · 16/05/2009 18:35

I think with their clothes its more they definitely cut for people who are 5ft5 or above - so for me being only 5ft they never fit as waist in wrong place etc.

Shoes are fab though - have worn to death a pair from last year.

Like the dress - there's a very pretty pale grey one in there at the moment. much nicer in the flesh

Dress is lovely.

Moondog, I am not sure where you are based but John Lewis stock LK Bennett so you might be able to nip in and have a try on first.

moondog · 16/05/2009 21:17

Ah, Crack, chance would be a fine thing!

Sorry to be blunt moondog but IMO the neck has a touch of, er, kaftan about it...

moondog · 16/05/2009 21:58

Oh, comment away!
(I do)
You are indeed right but I am ageing hippy therefore is it acceptable?
Am thinking sort of Talitha Getty on Marrakesh rooftop in, say, 1968..
