I am completely in love with this dress!! It has just arrived today and I can honestly say it is one of my favourite dresses in my wardrobe now! The delivery was prompt , the fabric is beautiful , the fit is perfect , (the size guide was a huge help! ) I usually find it quite difficult to find dresses that aren’t true vintage that fit me so well as I am larger on top and very small at the waist but this dress sits perfectly !! Can’t wait to show it off over the Christmas / Hogmanay season! Thank you British retro I will Definately be returning for more!

Ordered this dress late Thursday afternoon, arrived Saturday morning, just in time to wear it for my engagement photoshoot. The fit is great. Very well made and lovely fabric. Really really pleased.

It was a tough decision between all the lovely dresses, but glad I went for this one. The fabric feels of a good quality and it’s flattering yet comfortable. Looks great with a petticoat underneath and perfect for dancing! I’m usually between sizes 10 and 12 but the 10 fitted great. The top half fit is rather neat, so for a larger bust I would have gone up a size. Lovely print and colours are great for a festive party dress. A good investment!
