Sorry to all who love these dresses, but, imho they are virtually identical to the crimplene creations my dear old mum wore in the sixties.
to my untrained eye they look exactly the same as that other range that has the o-so-slim thingy inside. a woman called ouida sells them. same necks, same black bits round the bottom... identical!
Some are ok, but some of the prints, IMO are hideous!
According to the guest though, everything is "wonderful". WONDERFUL!!! WONDERFUL!
Just thinking how nice Ms Chuntley looks today, hair and slimmed down figure & legs she can show off in coloured tights.I am not tempted by these dresses which I would have to wear as a tunic with trousers NOT leggings.
Sorry to those that have bought it but it's just overpriced polyester and awful patterns IMO. :sweat:
Check out boohoo.com, they have tons of dresses, same material, even some similar looking and starting at £15!! I've had some great stuff from there and it washes well, although they have cr*p too, (just like QVC). So much cheaper though.

Shouldn't that be resized for your confusion?
I thought conventional sizes generally increased by two inches per size yet the 14 is only 3.5 inches bigger on the bust than a size 8.
Julia was wearing an 8 but said she wasn't really a size 8, Claire is wearing a 10 but buys a 12 on the high street and the guest is also wearing a 10 but is really a 12-14!
I think there will be lots of returns in the outlet shops due to sizing problems.
Yipee !!!!

My thoughts exactly - the plainer, simpler styles look much better. In my opinion the black trim at the bottom of the dresses cuts off the line and makes the wearer look shorter & dumpier. I could see them working as tunics - but some of the prints are just too much - reminds me of some of the more psychedelic 60s & 7os prints which were not cool !
