    Was going to chase mine up today but I had a call this morning, saying card expiry date was incorrect, have confirmed details and dress is being sent out. Fingers crossed it fits ok.

    Can anyone who has received their order tell me how they are finding the fit of the dress please?
  • got the despatch email yesterday, and i notice that today they have taken the money out of my account, so here's hoping that my dress is waiting for me when i get in from work :beer:

    please can someone tell me if the colour is exactly the same as the one in the french connection photo which looks pink, as i have seen one listed on ebay and their own photo of it looks purple. tia

    For the colour, the image on the website does seem quite similar, it's the colour of the dress on its own though, not the colour it appears when on the model. To me it definitely looks more of a purple than a pink.

    And size wise, mine is rather tight...I'm usually a 12 but can squeeze into 10s sometimes but this dress really is as tight as it could be.

    Lovely dress though :)

    hi Ketchup, did you order a size 12 or 10?
  • Oh sorry! I ordered a 12 :)

    thanks! i ordered a 12 too, normally wear a 10 but lately 10s seem a bit tight! :/ hopefully will fit okay and will be there when i get home later!
  • mine was there when i got home! :beer:

    i'm a pretty conventional size 10, and the size 10 is a very good fit, a tiny bit on the snug side if anything so i'll have to make sure i don't eat too much on the days i want to wear it!

    i would say the colour is definitely more of a deep, dusky pink than a purple.
