Style Guide Reviews by Shape & Occasion | Scarlett & Jo

Such a fabulous dress! Fits perfectly on top. It has given me confidence that I will remain secure and not spend the whole evening fussing with my dress. It is rare for me to find something that fits me so well on top, but doesn't drown me on the bottom half — instead, it skims beautifully! I love it and feel a million dollars in it. Thank you!

I have been looking for sometime for an outfit to wear to my nephew's wedding. I almost never wear dresses, being somewhat big bosomed and at least one, often two sizes smaller on my bottom half. This dress caught my eye and I am so glad it did. It looks and feels fabulous. The fit is a little generous, but that means I shall be comfortable all day, from the ceremony into the evening. Thank you.

The dress arrived quickly and was a perfect fit for size 16, the measurements in the size guide were accurate. The colour was exactly as expected and the style was very flattering for a pear shape. I am delighted with the dress and look forward to wearing it to a wedding. I will definitely use Scarlett and Jo again now that I have found them.

I loved this dress. I bought it to wear to a wedding. I felt beautiful with it on and got lots of compliments. The fabric and hang is just perfect. I'm a pear shape (size 22 bra and 26–28 on bottom). I bought the dress originally in size 26 but it was too big on top so got a size 24 and it fitted great.

I was a bit sceptical that a jumpsuit was for me having tried other brands and sent them back. S&J's is the best I've found. I'm a pear shape and it is so comfortable and flattering that you wouldn't know that's my shape as it hugs and curves in all the right places. Looking at getting some more.

I ordered this dress for a silver wedding lunch in May; and it's perfect! Nicely fitted, it shows off the curves but holds you in nicely. It comes up pretty long so I am going to have to get it altered, but I thought the price was good so I don't mind doing that. It would be perfect for a wedding or similar type event. I think the sizing is quite snug, so go generous for a more comfortable fit.

I went up a size (16) to accommodate my ample boobs. Usually dresses are too big across the shoulders and around the waist, but because of the stretchy fabric it fits perfectly. I now have a lovely nipped in waist and just enough cleavage showing to be sexy. Bought this for a July wedding and reception in a marquee so needs to be smart for the church and transition to evening wear.

My very first S&J experience was this dress in black. And so it began! Four years and so many dresses later, I bought it in burgundy. I love it. It is elegant, sexy and deeply flattering. The magic waistband and generous skirt create an hourglass figure, the fabric is luxurious and the overall effect is extremely feminine.

I'm a 38KK — you need to add more boxes! The dress is beautiful. With my chest it's easy to feel trussed up and matronly — but S&J dresses always just make me feel curvaceous and glamorous. I want to spread the word, but I kinda also want to keep it a secret!

I ordered this dress to be delivered to Germany and it arrived after only two days. I ordered the damson dress in an 18 and was thrilled to find the dress fits me perfectly. Because I have a large bust and bum, it's really important to me that my waist is defined to give me some shape. This dress is so flattering and feminine. The fabric is lightweight and the folds on the bust are perfect for accentuating my cleavage but not making it bulge out like some low cut dresses. The cut of the skirt is lovely and hides my big bum like a magician's cape!

My 2nd Scarlet & Jo dress, bought for a special occasion. Stunning dress, beautiful pattern & colour. Very flattering style, hence why I've bought another one of their dresses. Plus love the angel sleeves — also very flattering & a good length down my arms. Will have to get the dress shortened as only 5ft tall, so everything is too long on me, but that's not a problem. Can't wait to wear it!

It arrived today and I immediately tried it on and I'm so pleased with the dress — it's for a June wedding and I have never worn this colour, but I love it, feels really nice and comfy. Was worried it might be a bit long as I'm only 5ft 4 but actually it's perfect for me. This is the 3rd item I have purchased from you and glad I did. Now looking forward to my friend's son's wedding as I think I have the perfect dress for the day.

Spent ages looking online for an evening dress for a black tie gala dinner. Dress design is great, fabric flows well, comfort factor excellent, no slippage from shoulders. Length and fit is ideal if under 5ft 4" and curvy — the petite range is a great bonus. Bought a choice of two dresses, now have to decide on what one to wear. Service from order to delivery, absolutely faultless, terrific service, thank you.

Bought this dress for a wedding. Absolutely beautiful! Hangs really well, the small shoulder pads & the band that nips you in at the waist are fantastic features. I received more compliments about how I looked than I've EVER received about any other dress. However, I would love to see more dresses for us shorter ladies — I'm 5'2 so the longer dresses would be on the floor!

Love this dress — it was delivered really quickly and I ordered in 2 sizes, one fit perfectly going by their size guide. The colour is beautiful and so is the fabric. I think everyone would look wonderful in this dress. I do need to take it up a fraction — I'm 5'3 and with no shoes on it does bunch on the floor slightly so only needs taking up an inch or so. Would thoroughly recommend this company to everyone.

This was my first purchase with Scarlett and Jo. I loved wearing this Isabelle dress, which I bought for our summer holiday to Greece. It felt beautiful on and was so comfortable to wear, and the teal colour is just gorgeous. Having a larger bust I struggle to buy dresses that fit me both on the chest but still feel comfortable and fit well on my waist. I'd really recommend.

This dress is amazing! Fabric looks thick and gorgeous but is actually light and stretchy. The drape effect front smoothes out lumps and bumps and is super-flattering, and the low-cut front means the eye is drawn to your cleavage so be prepared to get some attention when you wear it! It's true to size and this form-fitting dress makes the most of every curve! I love it!!!

This is beautiful. The magic waistband keeps everything in place and the wrap neckline doesn't show any cleavage. My cousin's wedding is next month so I haven't worn the dress yet. I used the online chat to help me decide which size to buy. I would recommend this dress.

I am a size 22 and found it a perfect fit. I loved the hidden stretch waistband and found it was quite slimming when I tried it on. Having a larger bust made the dress a little too revealing, but as it was so long I had it altered to turn into a midi dress and a piece put in to cover my cleavage as I will be wearing it for my daughter's wedding.

Very comfortable — as I have big boobs but a small back, dresses often don't fit well (so I rarely wear them) but this dress is great because it is stretchy and moulds itself to my shape. I ordered 2 sizes but the smaller was easily generous enough. I'm 5'4" and it comes to just below mid calf. A useful garment for a variety of situations — smart enough for formal occasions or dressed down for casual wear.

Ordered this dress in teal which I loved, but decided for a summer wedding thought the pink would be better. Love the shape and design. Quite fitted on the bust but the sweetheart neckline looks great. Also the length is great on me and I think it will be much cooler in the summer heat. I must admit I still have both the pink and the teal, mainly because I can't quite convince myself I want to wear the pink rather than the teal!

Everything about the dress has surpassed my expectations — the fit, the quality, the stunning colours (which are even nicer than the photos). I ordered the size based on the size guide measurements and not the size I thought I was, it fits perfectly and it's so slimming. I look and feel a million dollars! I've bought the dress for a family wedding and won't hesitate to buy from this company again. Thank you!

Unfortunately I got customs charges when it came to Ireland but it arrived today and the dress is perfect for a wedding I'm attending in June — gorgeous fit, comfortable feel, plenty of fabric especially at the chest area, no need for pinning, and I love the added extra of the shoulder pads, they really made the dress look elegant and I felt slimmer in it too. Thankyou.

Bought this dress for a wedding in October. Was not disappointed with the look and feel of the material. Tried it on and was over the moon with how it looks. I'm going through treatment for secondary breast cancer and have put quite a bit of weight on because of the medication. I have not felt "pretty" in a long time but my dress from Scarlett & Jo has certainly changed that ❤️

After ordering at least half a dozen dresses & finding them uncomfortable & unsuitable for a summer wedding in Spain I eventually ordered a 20 & a 22 for choice. I decided to keep the size 22 as there was not much of a difference between them. I knew right away that this was the dress — it's just beautiful & very flattering on. I am now so looking forward to the wedding in June.

I put the dress on, looked in the mirror and expected to be disappointed. Instead, I actually gasped and saw that I looked really good — feminine, elegant and I had a waist! I have recently been fitted with an AFO, a brace I have to wear from toe to knee with specialist shoes. As this dress is for my son's wedding, I did not want my legs or feet seen. I feel confident and proud now and so much happier wearing a dress where you only see me!

I loved this dress as soon as I saw it on the website. I ordered a size 24 and found it way too big on my shoulders and bust so ordered sizes 22 and 20 to try. The size 20 fitted perfectly. The colour is bright and the fabric light, ideal for summer days or nights. I wore it for my daughter's Hen-do, felt smart but comfortable and definitely not a frumpy Mother of the Bride. My dress was admired and I look forward to wearing it again soon.

So comfy and very flattering — this is the first dress I have bought in many years and I'm thrilled with it! A friend advised that these dresses come up a little large, so I ordered a size down from my usual 20 in most stores and the 18 from yourselves fits perfectly. I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality of the material and the manufacture. Looking forward to wearing my new dress out for my daughter's wedding in a few days time.

This is the second time I have purchased this style of dress and only had to get a new one as I had worn out the previous one! In June I wore a Scarlett & Jo dress as mother of the bride. The design from S&J and fit is wonderful and I get so many compliments on their dresses. I own 6 of various styles and I'm sure more purchases will be happening soon!

I was looking for a dress to wear to my daughter's wedding. I saw the Elizabeth Dark Green Flocked Mesh Maxi Gown and loved the look of it but was a bit anxious as to how it would fit me as I'm different sizes top/bottom. I needn't have worried — the dress fitted perfectly and is very good quality. I ordered size 16 and am 5ft 4 in. I absolutely love the fit and overall look and would have no hesitation in recommending Scarlett & Jo.

The dress is lovely. The lace sleeves help cover those less firm bits and give it a bit more fanciness. It hangs wonderfully, feels great on and is a timeless classic! I would recommend this for cocktail, black tie, evenings. Really nice dress. Thank you for all of your advice through messenger too — really helped!

I bought this dress to wear at a formal night on a cruise. I can't wear sleeveless dresses as I am uncomfortable with the tops of my arms, so this dress looked perfect. When I got it I couldn't believe how nice it looked — I actually have a figure (who knew!). I love the dipped hem and the way that the lining gives a sweetheart effect over the bust is really nice. I will be very happy to wear it on the cruise.

I purchased this dress for an awards evening with work. I used S&J years ago for similar events — I've since lost 10 stone but some clothing sizes are still either too big or too small. I ordered this dress on a whim and it was absolutely perfect. It fit in all the right places, gave me the security of my arms and waist being covered and shaped, and the look of elegance was amazing. Thank you.

This dress is really gorgeous. Wore it to a winter wedding and it was just right. The jersey-style fabric is lovely — soft and stretchy. I'm 5'8 and prefer to cover my knees up, so the length was ideal. Although I wore it to a formal occasion, you could easily dress it up or down. Also, big shout out to your model Pippa — if it looks good on her, then I think it will suit me.

Absolutely beautiful. Fits me perfectly. The band just under the bust is firm enough to hold its shape but not at all tight. The length is perfect for me without shoes so when my heels are taken off to dance it won't be a problem. Can't wait to wear it for my work black tie Christmas party and more.

Chose this dress to wear after my baby arrives for easy stylish breastfeeding. The wrap on the chest is perfect for it. I'm usually a size 20 and even being 9 months pregnant it's still a tad large on the chest and arms. Perfect for comfort though. Love the colour and print so much. I had lots of compliments when I wore it Christmas day.

The dress arrived much quicker than expected. It was packaged well. It arrived uncreased and ready to wear. I wore it to my firm's Christmas party and got lots of compliments. Washed on refresh, put it on a hanger to dry, so it is ready for the next wear, without ironing. I will definitely purchase more from this company.

Ordered this dress and the Victoria dress in similar pattern. I already own 4 Victoria dresses so like the style. On this occasion I decided to keep the Tilly dress as it is perfect for my Christmas function. The dress, as always, is well made and fits perfectly. Looking forward to our Christmas party to show it off.

Bought this to wear for a Christmas party — wanted something fun that I can dance in. It's lovely — nice swing to the fabric and the cut is very flattering. I'm planning on wearing it with silver accessories. Nice to know I'll be able to wear it in the summer too — I think it'll look nice with ballet pumps.

Gorgeous dress, I wore it to a very exclusive Christmas lunch aboard the British Pullman train and friends complimented me on how lovely it was. I love the fact it has this hidden area around the tummy to pull you in. I am 5ft 3ins and it was the perfect midi length. I added a small stitch and brought the V of the dress close together which seemed to do the trick.
