I love this dress! The Isabelle is my favourite style from Scarlett & Jo. Earlier this year I bought the Isabelle Teal dress to wear for my daughter's wedding in February in the regular size but as I am only 5'2" I had to have it shortened by a considerable amount. So I was so pleased when petite sizes became available just in time for my son's wedding in June. I am a size 16 and the fit is perfect. The dress hangs so well and feels lovely on. I especially like the floaty sleeves and the v neck means it doesn't feel too open at the neck. I am very happy with this dress and love that more fabrics are continuing being added to the petite range.

Thank you Joanne, you ladies look great and you especially. You have made our day Thank you for your review.
Lovely dress but arrived damaged. Mesh on bust area had a small hole where it looks like stitching hasn’t caught properly - didn’t even try it on. Will be returning today. QA should have picked this up!
Store owner replied:
Thank you for letting us know, the managers will discuss in their daily meeting tomorrow and we really do need to see it in person. Every care is taken in inspection. I wish we could say that we catch every fault as we do inspect individually every product through each stage of manufacture and final inspection and during packing. Some regrettably do slip by and we apologise.
Absolutely love this dress it's so comfortable and lovely colour's.
It's the perfect length.
My son gets married next June so thinking this is the dress.
I’ve got to admit, my entire wardrobe is only from Scarlett and Jo! This dress is a perfect ‘throw-on-look-amazing’ dress. It’s cool enough for these hot days, but smart enough for work and easily for going out to dinner afterwards.
I have this design in bright red, black and patterned too, but the deep emerald green is my new favourite! It matches perfectly with the green waterfall shrug but pairs in an elegant way with the S&Jo navy waterfall and navy shoes too…(because I don’t have green shoes!)
It washes well and doesn’t need an iron. (Thank goodness for that as I wear it so much!!)
Now I need this design in all the other colours too!

Hi Sarah, thank you so much, we are about to spoil you with more choice with the new Claudia print collection.
I wore this dress for my son’s wedding. I am 4ft 11 and the petite fit perfect. I had bought a few dresses from this company to try on. They refunded me very quickly.
Store owner replied:
Thank you Gabrielle for the review. Its much appreciated.
It was okay but very difficult to get on.
Disappointed as it is definitely the most I’ve spent on a dress for a long time and I don’t think it matched my expectations
Just wore the dress to my sons wedding,And I felt a million dollars in it,I was getting compliments throughout the day,It really is a fantastic dress,Fitted perfectly,hid all my lumps and bumps,Would fully recommend you buy it.
I wish I had found this company when looking for an outfit for my son’s wedding last October! The dress fit perfectly and felt so comfortable from the minute I put it on. It felt really good quality, hung beautifully and at such a reasonable price. I felt very confident in it which is unusual for me as I go for trousers usually. I had lots of comments on how nice the dress looked.
Store owner replied:
Hi Panna thank you for your review and your custom over the years. Great to see you in a photo.
Lovely material, really flattering fit that accentuates the waistline. Enough room for my boobs! (This is the biggest problem I have with clothing). Would definitely recommend and purchase from Scarlett and Jo again!
Purchased for my sisters wedding, it was perfect in every way. I felt amazing and received lots of positive compliments.
The fit was controlled but comfortable and the material soft and flowing, i love the length too.
Have previously bought the Isabelle dress in another colour and had nothing but positive comments when I wore it so I knew when I was looking for a dress for my sons wedding it had to be an Isabelle.
The fit is perfect, it offers the right amount of control but with movement, supporting where it needs to while being loose and flowing in other areas. I love the length as my ankles tend to swell in the heat, I’m 5’6” and they were covered perfectly. Nothing but praise for this dress
The Royal blue colour was just what I was after and predictably I had lots of positive comments on it.
I have brought this for my cousin's wedding in November..I put her on and instantly fell in love ..I showed the bride to be and she said that's the best dress she has seen me in ...so that's definitely a compliment! The husband even approves and is going to try and match in colours x so thank you I should have gone to you the first time round instead of searching and buying other things to not wear !
This Victoria midi dress is size 20, I love the really bright summery colours. I returned the size 18 in the same dress as it was much too tight on the waist band, and this has been refunded quickly minus the aprox £13 in tax, however this size 20 Victoria dress has come up really big, the waist is very loose on me and keeps falling off my shoulders because it’s too big, also way too long, falls to my ankle, I’m 5ft 4”, I won’t be able to return it because I had to wear it for a Christening 2 days after arrived as had nothing else suitable, Scarlett & Jo kindly sent it by dpd so it arrived on time, I had already purchased the Verity Maxi dress in size 20 which fitted fine apart from being miles too long so have had to get that one taken up, was disappointed with the variation in the same size between the verity & this one it’s 1 1/2” inches bigger on waist, I’ve tried to show this in the photos, (difficult to hold it tight and take the photo).
Store owner replied:
Hi Christine Thank you for this. This is really unfortunate and we are very sorry. Please purchase the Curvy Petite fit in future the fit issue is related to why we introduced Petites and now Curvy petite is available in every new style. Too late for you now, but the fit is there when needed. We do have a helpline with a human at the end of the line and we do have an active email address [email protected]. We also have a chatbox on the site that many of you also use. We are very sorry for what has happened.
I wore this dress for our North West Scarlett and Jo get together on Saturday. It is so comfortable to wear and I know that I am going to wear this quite often. I am going to wear it for an evening wedding reception next week which was the original reason for buying it but couldn’t wait!
I absolutely love these stunning Scarlett and Jo dresses, I literally own over 300 of them. This was taken at home during pre drinks date night, before going to a classy restaurant. These dresses make me feel so confident, I have compliments whenever I wear them.
I wore the Petite Isabelle Winter Pink Print Float Sleeve Maxi Dress to my son’s graduation. I had spent a long time searching for the right dress and am so delighted I came across Scarlett & Jo. It is a truly beautiful dress that fits flawlessly and was so comfortable. The fabric is so wonderfully light, the dress flows perfectly and it is so flattering. It was incredibly comfortable to wear all day and I felt fabulous! Highly recommend 🌟
Store owner replied:
Thank you Nicola it means a lot to us. We have told people for years that our Fit Technology was very inclusive through the sizes although Scarlett & Jo was created because larger ladies were completely neglected when we started, in fact some were shamed for actually wearing our dresses in the beginning - unbelievable. We have a large number of customers who have been paying alteration costs so we decided to offer the petite specifications. We have the best customers in the world. Proud mum you really bring the dress to life. Thank you,
As can be seen in the photo, there is a large area of dark purple just below the waist which draws the eye to it. The left-hand sleeve is also solid purple do doesn't match the other sleeve.
Store owner replied:
Margaret Thanks for your review we are sorry for this. please return it for an exchange or refund.
This is my 1st dress that I bought for a wedding last year as I haven’t wore the 2nd dress yet as the occasion isn’t to the end of September They are such a beautiful dress to wear. Plenty of support and I felt like a million dollars.
Store owner replied:
Thank you Lisa Enjoy the special occasion in September. Your review has made our day!
I am so disappointed with this dress. I previously bought a Scarlett & Jo dress for my daughter's christening, and it was perfect. Naturally, when I needed a dress for my brother's wedding, I chose Scarlett & Jo again.
Unfortunately, this dress was nothing like I expected. The print is completely different from the photos. The front panel is almost entirely plain lilac, with only two small corners of the pattern showing beneath the waistband. It looks very out of place and is not at all what I would expect from such an expensive dress.
I even ordered a second one, hoping the first was just a one-off. While the pattern placement was slightly better on the second dress, it had an excessive amount of material around the bust, so it didn't fit properly.
I'm really disappointed with the quality control and inconsistency between the dresses. Given my previous positive experience with Scarlett & Jo, this has been a very frustrating purchase.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are so sorry. We will be getting in touch to see if we can sort this out in good time to your satisfaction.
Ive tried it on to check it fits and I was absolutely blown away. It feels incredible, I cant wait to go to my son's wedding with my hair done, make up on and the pink fascinator on. I read all the reviews which is one reason why I bought from scarlett and Jo's but to actually see it for myself and feel the way it makes me feel - I just cant put it into words. I cant wait to enjoy my son's special day.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your review Claire we are blown away with it too! Enjoy your son's special day. the Isabelle Wine Marble Print Maxi Dress is my personal favourite from the new collection. thank you again and enjoy day.Add a photo later if you like.
I am absolutely thrilled to bits with the Petite Verity Indigo Magenta Maxi Gown that I have bought for my sons wedding next year. It is perfect. Fits beautifully and is so comfortable. The secret panel around the tummy works like magic. The service I have received from Scarlett & Jo has been brilliant. They have answered any questions I have had without hesitation. I would definitely recommend and I will definitely order from you again. Excellent Service all round. Thank you.
I wore this dress to the Wimbledon men's final during a heatwave and it was perfect! It was elegant, floaty, and breathable, the sleeves didn't chafe which was a problem I had with the S&J flock patterned dresses, and it was easy to put on and take off (no pesky zips or buttons). I don't tend to suit plain dresses but I didn't want a bright floral so the dobby spot polka dots were the perfect compromise. I've now worn 4 S&J dresses to various events and they'll be my 100% go to for future events. I also appreciate the easy returns process and how quick it was to get to speak to a human on the phone, a very nice and helpful human at that!
I had a wedding to go to but having put on weight, I could not find anything to wear in my cupboards. I had never bought a dress on line. I ordered a dress on Scarlett and Jo. The process was so easy. I ordered on a Monday morning and received the dress the following day. The dimensions were perfect. I went to the wedding this weekend and felt pretty and at ease.
I will definitely buy other dresses on this site.
After all the problems we had in finding a dress for our wedding. We finally came across Scarlett and Jo's website and found the purfect dress. It complements my future wife purfectly. Ordering was simple and delivery was very fast and came wth free rrturns. The only comment I have is refunds seem to be slow on a dress I returned that was to small. But appart from that I can recommend Scarlett and Jo's yes I would buy from them again
I wore this beautiful dress for my friends wedding on Friday. I was really pleased with it- it was so lovely to wear. I did have to have it shortened but I then im only 5ft! Already bought another beautiful dress for my nephews wedding later this year
The moment I put this dress on, I knew it was 'the one' for my son's wedding. Never did had had a dress which flattered my shape. I felt a million dollars and received so many positive comments. The quality is excellent. the dress is lined but even though it was a hot day, I didn't sweat and it was still very airy. I have received quite a few queries from people asking where I did get the dress from and happy to give out your website. Wish I had more weddings / events coming up so I can get myself another gorgeous dress. Definitely will come back for more and happy to be contacted as a very happy customer.
