Haven’t worn it for the event I bought it for yet but as soon as I tried on this dress I knew it was the one I wanted to wear. So comfy, and felt so flattered in this dress
This stunning dress was just what I needed for a formal work awards.
I felt amazing, this is a size 22 and fits like a dream. It’s also short length which again is a perfect fit for 5”3 me
I bought this for my wedding today! I’ve had so many lovely comments and compliments! It is absolutely gorgeous, beautifully made and fitted a treat.
As a lady of ample portions I wanted to look my best today and feel special and I’m so glad someone pointed me in Scarlett and Jo’s direction. This was my first purchase but won’t be my last. Thank you so much
Needed a dress for a weekend with the Stars of strictly come dancing. This dress was great for the red carpet evening of dancing. The petite was just the right length so I didn't trip over it and I felt a million dollars.
I love this dress first time purchasing the kemi. I love the shape at the top taking the eye away from my tummy.
I have been waiting for the petite range to come out. It is shorter than I thought in that it sits on top of my feet, but I won't trip or have to attempt to wear any kind of heel.
As usual it is very flattering for my small round figure.
Can't wait to find somewhere to wear it.
This dress is lovely, so comfy and flattering. It's lined so I don't need to worry about it being seen through and the gentle stretch of the material means it is comfortable to wear all day long. Very impressed with the quality.
I bought my dress as I needed a beautiful outfit with poppies on it to say a final farewell to my beloved Dad. He was a military historian, with particular interest in the Great War and World War 2. As a family we knew he wouldn't want us to wear black, and he loved me to look feminine, so the dress and the poppies were for him. It couldn't have been more perfect.
Because of the occasion, I wore a vest top underneath for a more modest look and I had the dress professionally shortened to mid calf length (I am 5ft 2) and it worked beautifully. I was comfortable all day and I had a lot of complements.
No photos taken, as it was such a sad day, but the dress will be coming with me when i go on a cruise in the summer!
Fits so beautifully, spot on around the bust and the length is perfect.
I’m just waiting for the invite to that special occasion or maybe I’ll have to book a cheeky cruise!
I particularly like the length of the sleeve, longer than those on the Tilly dresses, which affords me more comfort as I don’t like showing the tops of my arms.
The small shoulder pads add more structure to the design and the whole dress just makes me look and feel fabulous!
I had seen Scarlett and Jo dresses but always thought would be too long for me .
When i saw a petite shorter dress but still a mii/maxi I just had to have one.
It fits perfectly and the length is just right for me.
I look forward to seeing more petite length ones.
Lovely design and colours - it looked fab on! The only thing is, the neckline is too wide and too low on me - possibly because I'm having to buy an 18 to fit my bust (and waist!) but my shoulders are narrow (this is why Kemi dresses don't suit me - the openings are too wide and my bra always shows, whichever type I'm wearing!) Presumably the dress was scaled down all over and not just the length? (which was perfect by the way! I'm 5'4" and it was off the floor even with flat shoes) If the neckline had fitted better I'd've kept it, as such sadly I'm returning it.
I've been with for this petite dress to come back. I'm 5ft 3in and I absolutely love it. So much that I bought 2, a size apart, just so I knew I could where it to my sons wedding, without worrying about it but fitting lol. It's gorgeous.

Gorgeous dress, fits beautifully and received lots of compliments. The length is perfect im 5ft 2" tall and a size 18-20. I love it!
A point to note whilst the website states delivery 7 days a week they only dispatch Monday to Friday so be aware, I received my item with hours to spare for when I needed it.
This is a nice dress but the neckline did not suit me and a lot of my bra was revealed due to shape of the neckline. The length was also on the floor. I am 5'2.
This is a beautiful dress but I had to send it back and replace with a size 24. The 26 was just too big in the bust for me as I'm pear shaped. The 24 is really so much a better fit and is for my cruise in October when I will be celebrating my birthday as well as enjoying a lovely time away. Thank you for making a petite dress and us vertically challenged ladies would love more please xx
This is perfect. I've bought a few maxi dresses from you and always had to have them taken in at the shoulders as well as shortened but no alterations needed this time! PLEASE make more petite maxi dresses (Isabelle would be amazing) or at least make this one in more colours!
