Tiana B

[Tinkerbelle]

i think some of the tiana b dresses look lovely but most are too short for me to wear. i have seen a couple of the new ones are a little longer but i have no idea of the sizing. i have tried to compare some of the dresses but the reviews say that the sizing is all over the place and is very dependent upon the style etc. do they come up big in your opinion?

this is the dress i like, it looks a decent length

I find the sizing in terms of width pretty consistent. They have one style with a v neck which is gathered around the v neck and in that I'm a 2xl. In other styles I'm a 3xl. And I am a high street size 20 around the ****s. I can wear a 20 from anywhere and sometimes an 18. I really hope that helps on the sizing.

The length if far more hit and miss though and most of them are just above the knee of me. As I waffled earlier I have good legs for a chubby bird so that doesn't worry me. Also I don't find that the measurements for length given on the website are alwas correct. I ordered one tunic length but it turned out to be too long to wear as a tunic and too ruddy short to wear as a dress.

Hello Everyone :happy::handshake:

This is my first post on this forum, but I've been lurking for a while :blush:. Glad to see that some of you also like Tiana B, so do I. I have a couple of her dresses and I don't find them sweaty or think they look frumpy at all. The ones I have are ideal with leggings which I love to wear.

I also have some Ronni Nicole dresses, a couple of Kim & Co ones, some NL long jumper, rolled neck dresses and I really like some of the things in those ranges. Not everything, of course, but I'm pleased with what I have bought. I vary between a Med to a Large in most QVC ranges and am a 14/16 in high st.

Enjoying the forum very much, the posts are great. I'll be watching out for the TB TSV.

Tiana B Print Maxi Dress for around £37.56 before postage

Great update cheers SCW. So what's the betting that p&p will be 4.95. Naughty as these dresses are so lightweight. Although I have noticed that the dresses seem to be sent via courier so guess that bumps up the price?

Everything Thursday and Friday is on 3 easy pay. That definitely helps with the Tiana B TSV.

Oh God!. Note to self - Don't need another dress!

Is it my imagination, or are there more easy pays than there used to be?

Would like another maxi dress but a huge note to self
I really really don't need yet another that is predominately black.

That does look nice depends on the length really whether I go for it or not being just a little over 5 foot I have to shorten most things and anything with a border is a no no where I am concerned as you cant shorten them

At least you can rely on the models to know how the length would be on you. For us shorter girls it's a bit hit n miss. :happy:

That dress is lovely I got a few when they were a super bargain price. The quality is fantastic and the fit gorgeous even if I do say so myself!! I do feel very glam every time I wear those but always feel it is more suited to evening rather than day wear. Am looking for some day maxi dresses so hope this TSV hits the spot

Cheers SCW p&p is high for the weight of the fabric. Thanks for the tip re ordering at midnight re 3 easy pay

 

[Tinkerbelle]

It's a lovely dress in all the colourways but at 42.5 inches that's going to be flapping above my ankles. If not at mid calf.

Didn't we have some shorter girlies who were interested. Hope the length works for you.

Will watch the presentation later to see the length on the models but I'm unlikely to go for it as a maxi.

 

[lilylurknomore]

108cm is just below my knee, hardly a maxi dress. Haven't seen any shows but they would have to use shorter models for the dress to a be a maxi on them, but I thought all their models were tall. Hope they make it clear it's that short or there will be a lot of disappointed people.

 

[borednow]

i think they have put up the wrong length as it looks quite long on the tall model .i think it would prolly be above ankle on most people but then again that used to be the maxi length not the 'trailing on the floor getting under your shoes' length that seems to be the mode at the moment. i am sick of tripping over my bloody hem lol
i love the brown option because it is nice and muted, so many of the dresses this year are blues, brights and black
