Sizing Info Plus

Customer feedback tells us that this dress is a generous fit. Possibly due to the high stretch in the fabric.

However, as this style has a waist band that is very fitted, we strongly suggest that you select your size through the waist measurements.Ā 

Suitable for most shapes.

For more information on fit and sizing please visit our size guide. The measurements refer to 'your' body not the garment itself. Please choose the size that most reflects your measurements.

Elegant cocktail dress with curve-hugging bengaline fabric and gold waistband detail. Customers said it "fits like a glove" and delivers "bombshell confidence." Highly flattering on various figures. Note: some found the waist loose, suggesting sizing down. Minor alteration may be needed for shorter customers.

  • This dress seems to come with a bit of bombshell confidence built into it.
  • It fits like a glove and would be flattering on any figure.
  • From the subtle gold details in the waist band and curve hugging bengaline, worth every dime!
  • 5 stars: 8 (89%)

Perfect Little Black Dress

Every woman needs a Little Black Dress and this one is gorgeous. The fabric has sufficient stretch to show off curves whilst still being sophisticated. The brocade cumberband is very flattering and adds extra glamour. Perfect for parties and cocktails.

Beautiful dress

Amazing dress. Was bought for me by husband for my birthday. It's also for an upcoming event.
As my mother used to say, it fits were it touches. Perfect fit. I'm a busty size 14. The only down side, is you have to be careful what underwear you wear if you don't want a VPL!
Love it.

I can’t say enough about this dress.

It’s gorgeous, it’s well made, and I’m not sure how or why, but this dress seems to come with a bit of bombshell confidence built into it. It doesn’t just look good, it makes me feel like I look good.
The company is a joy to do business with. They answer questions promptly. I got a shipping confirmation email within an hour of my order and my order was across the sea and at my home within a week without expedited shipping. I plan on coming back for more soon.
A great dress from a great company.

Absolutely stunning dress with good quality workmanship.

A little long in the skirt but I am very short and it is nothing that is not easily remedied. Given 4 stars instead of 5 because the waist is a little loose and will need to be taken in. I would advise ordering down a size.

Love it, love it, love it !!

I was hesitant about buying this dress - oh my goodness it's amazing, Feels. very special on and fits so beautifully. The material allows movement but still fits so nicely. I am a size 12 and this is true to size.

This dress is absolutely amazing.

I ordered the size 10 and it fit perfectly! Worth every penny and so Audrey Hepburn!

It's perfect, thank you Foxy, you've done it once again.

This dress has the 'wow' factor and is quite a head turner. It fits like a glove (size 10 which is true to size) and would be flattering on any figure, making the straight and narrow figure appear curvy whilst excentuating the curves on a larger lady. The decorative waist band adds a touch of class and elegance. Everyone wanted to know where I bought it from...despite wanting to keep House of Foxy a secret to myself, I did have to tell them.
