Opinions needed on this dress please.

I need a dress for my birthday night out and was thinking of buying this one.

I love the colour and the style but I'm just wondering if its a bit low?? I'm a size 8 so I'm just wondering am I too petite for it? Also has anyone ever bought a lipsy dress before? What is the quality like? Do the colours fade or stay bright after washing??

Have fun!!

Oooh! That's really pretty! AFAIK Lipsy is pretty good, I think I either bought some Lipsy stuff years ago and it was deadly or somebody else did... I know a friend of mine has an absolutely stunning really good quality Lipsy dress.

Go for it. It's gorgeous!

Where are you situated? If you are in Dublin, i've seen this dress in a shop(used to be Morgan) in Dun Laoighre shopping centre, next to New Look now, just incase you were plan on ordering the dress online, and would like to try it on before hand:)

I'm actually in Cork so no such luck. I did make a trip into Brown Thomas in limerick but their lipsy selection consisted of about 10 pieces- and most were black. I think i'll just take a chance and buy it-thanks for the advice!

ooooooh!! thats lovely!! i think it would look best on petite girls. and ive only heard good things about lipsy dresses

Just wondering about it size wise. I'm a size 8 but i've heard that lipsy are a size smaller. i.e a lipsy 8 fits like a 6. Anyone have any experience of sizes with them? I've never even tried one on!

The dress is lovely, but I've found Lipsy material quality to be comparable with the cheapest of the cheap. Though it does say that the dress is 100% silk.

Ah just read that you were in cork, cos I was just in Stephens Green, and they had that dress (different colour) in Click. didn't go in to check price, prob double the price thats on that website, but ya coulda gone in and tried it on. Looks 10 times nicer in real life btw!:o

how small is small?? I'm always a size 8 in dresses- warehouse size 8 dresses fit like a glove. then dresses in awear are too big! hopefully i can squeeze into it! i'm quite petite on top so it would look awful if it was too big on me!

I would actually try www.lipsy.co.uk where the dresses are much cheaper direct from their website than they are on asos. hope this helps. The dress is fab by the way.
