    Walk in looking completely in charge

    Some days call for a dress that does the talking before you open your mouth. Board meeting, interview, a big presentation: this is the one. The collar and the neat shoulders give you a confident, tailored line, and the belt pulls the whole look together. You walk in feeling sharp, organised and ready for anything. And when the meeting runs over, you still look as polished at five as you did at nine.

    Structured, yet easy to move in

    The fabric has a little stretch, so the dress pulls on easily and moves with you as you sit, stand and stride between rooms. The pencil shape follows your curves with smooth, clean lines, while the belt defines the waist without squeezing. Pop your hands into the side pockets and you feel instantly more relaxed. It is tailored without being stiff, which means you forget you are wearing something this smart until someone compliments it.

    Interviews, meetings and smart dinners

    Wear it for a job interview, a big client meeting or a day in court, then straight on to dinner in town. It is also lovely for a christening, a smart lunch or a theatre evening. Pair it with court shoes and a structured handbag for work, or with heeled ankle boots and gold earrings for an evening out. Add a long coat over the top in winter and you are done.

    Your questions about this piece

    How do I choose my size?

    Take your usual UK size: the guide runs from UK 6 to UK 16 and gives the chest, waist and length of the dress in cm and inches. The fit is close, so compare your chest and waist with the guide, and choose the larger size if you are between two.

    Does it have a zip?

    No, it pulls on: the fabric has a little stretch, so it slips over your head and settles into shape. The belt then defines the waist.

    How long does delivery take, and can I return it?

    Your order is prepared within 24 to 48 hours, then delivered in 8 to 15 days; costs and the free-delivery threshold are shown in your basket. You have 14 days from delivery to return it.

    Polished, comfortable, in UK sizes

    We choose pieces that look polished and feel comfortable from the first wear: boots for wet pavements, knits for chilly mornings, dresses for the days that matter.

    Sizes are given in UK measurements, payment is secure, and if something is not quite right, you have 14 days to send it back.
