I love my dress , it is so flattering and elegant. I got so many compliments when I wore it to an awards dinner in Houston Texas even from people I didn’t know.
One thing to beat in mind , the dress has a very stiff elastic band under the bust. If like me you are a larger bust size I’d would suggest a size bigger at the least.
It’s so hard to pull down and back up over your bust. You are required to be both gymnast and contortionist to achieve it . The damson is a lovely classy colour not Cadbury purple it’s darker and in my opinion more flattering than black. First dress was not perfect there was a hanging ribbon loop missing and the band did not lie flat but S & J dealt with this professionally although I am still awaiting a refund,

This is the second maxi evening dress I have from Scarlett & Jo and it is truly amazing. Quality is second to none and the fit is perfect. The style is understated and elegant, but with enough of a wow factor to make you feel really special. The colour is super stunning, and as someone who always defaults to black for formal evening wear I was surprised to see just how much better this colour suited me. The "secret support" in the waistband is the 8th wonder of the world as far as I'm concerned, as it cinches in the waist without feeling too restrictive or causing bulges elsewhere, I don't know how they do it it!!! I would love to see this dress style in a midi length too, which would make it more wearable for work/cocktails, as Unfortunately there aren't enough occasions in my life where I actually need a full length gown, otherwise I would never take it off.
Only slight niggle (and I'm only mentioning for sake of objective review) is I could do with an extra inch or two on the length as I'm extra tall, and it would be far easier to get on and off if it had a zip. I would certainly still give this dress 5 stars (or 6 if I could).

Gorgeous gorgeous dress which arrived beautifully packaged and fits like a dream straight out of the box. I feel fabulous in it and cannot wait to show it of in a couple of weeks. A lovely colour, like an amethyst purple which changes depending on the ambient light. Stretchy chiffon overlaying a well cut design that shows off all the good bits and hides the wobbly ones :-) (thank you elastic in the middle!)I'm 5'3 and it's just above the floor so I have a choice of shoe heights too. Thankyou Scarlett and Jo - may this be the first of many!

This dress is beautiful; it could be a bridesmaid dress! It fits perfectly around my curves and is the perfect length for both heels and flats.

I love this dress, I feel like a million dollars in it! I bought it a couple of years ago and I did think it was expensive, but the amount of times that I've worn it has brought real value or money. It washes easily and doesn't need ironing. I recently wore this dress on a cruise and received compliments from 3 separate complete strangers - which is odd for me as I never normally get complimented on how I look given that I'm a size 24. I cannot speak highly enough of this dress.

This dress was a lovely style but was a smaller fit than the other dresses I bought. It was a real struggle to get on and off ( I had to get help). It really needs a zip. Once on the sleeves and waistband were a bit too tight but I was still tempted to keep it as it was a lovely green, showed off my waist and covered my arms but it was a bit too long as well.

This is my first order from S & J and I cannot believe what I have been missing. I ordered the dress in a size 20 (damson) and a size 22 (burgundy) based on sizing reviews. I loved both colours and the style (with magical wAist band) is soooooo flattering. The 20 looked great but was just too much effort to get on/off without a zip - I am sure I would have ended up ripping the fabric - so I sized up. It still seems to fit perfectly everywhere (just as fitted as the 20) but so much easier to get in/out of it. I love this dress so much that I am swapping the size 20 for a second size 22. Sheer decadence and I can't really justify or afford it, but made me feel so good I want a choice of colours. Please offer loyalty points/discounts as I will be a regular customer!

Arrived beautifully packed, but disappointed that the damson colour looks black, unless they sent black by mistake as In the picture the damson looks a lovely deep purple. This is beautiful but needs a zip, far too difficult to get on and off, the central belt part is so restrictive and uncomfortable I am now going to order a size larger, even though I usually wear a size 22, just hoping size 24 is not too big, just hope the damson colour is as picture portrays. But I must say this really looks good on and is lovely, the skirt flows beautifully, only real down part is the central belt part and also can't justify the price of £200.00.

Pretty dress, but had to return. Top was too small- waistband too firm and not full enough in the bust. Disappointing as not had this problem with other S&J dresses. The tight waist made it awkward to get on and off.

The dress is beautiful and my husband gave it a very positive review! The waist band is a little snug but but is still comfy. I used the size 24 model to judge the look and the photo was very reflective of how this looked when on.

Bit tricky to get on and off. Great when I have got it on. I am a musician so I need to change quickly in shared rooms. A side zip would make it much easier

needs a zip for a better fit, if there is one couldn't find it. not the quality I would expect for £200
