First impressions: The packaging, as always, is delightful and imparts an air of luxury.

Ease of Use: It is always such a treat to shop with Isabella Oliver. The web site is easy to use, elegant and full of inspiration.There are close-up images and films of models wearing the clothes so that it is easy to get a sense of the weight, finish and drape of a garment.

I placed my order online and my package arrived within 24 hours, I was not disappointed. The dress is incredibly easy to wear and a very flattering and forgiving shape.

Pros: I own several pieces by Isabella Oliver 365, and they are always cut so incredibly well. The fabrics are luxurious and the detail and finish – perfect. I think that it is impossible not to look and feel elegant and sexy in anything by Isabella Oliver.

Cons: It is difficult to buy clothes by anyone else, once you have been wearing Isabella Oliver 365. I just wish that they made more casual wear. This dress is a show stopper and I look forward to wearing it to a cocktail party over new year!

Value for money: Isabella Oliver 365 clothes are surprisingly affordable when you consider the luxury fabrics, the finish, distinctive cut and attention to detail.

Dulwichmum verdict:
