When I first spotted the Victoria Black Dobby Spot Angel Sleeve Mesh Long Midi Dress from Scarlett & Jo, I knew it was going to be something special. The delicate dobby spot pattern combined with elegant mesh fabric immediately caught my eye, and I’m thrilled to share that this dress has exceeded every expectation.
The Perfect Fit
I ordered the size 16, and I’m delighted to report that it fits absolutely perfectly. Scarlett & Jo’s sizing is spot-on with this one—true to size with just a touch of generosity that makes it incredibly comfortable without feeling loose or baggy. The fit is exactly what you want in a special occasion dress: flattering, comfortable, and confidence-boosting.
Flattering Design Features
What sets this dress apart is the thoughtful design that celebrates curves rather than hiding them. The deep V-neck wrap creates a beautifully feminine silhouette that’s both elegant and flattering. It draws the eye upward and creates lovely proportions without being too revealing.
The built-in MagicBand® corset is an absolute game-changer. This clever feature helps accentuate curves and creates that gorgeous Scarlett & Jo hourglass shape we all love. It provides gentle support and shaping without feeling restrictive—you get all the benefits of shapewear without the discomfort.
Sophisticated Style Details
The angel sleeves are one of my favourite features. They provide elegant coverage for the upper arms while adding a romantic, flowing element to the overall look. The sleeves move beautifully and add a touch of drama without overwhelming the design. Plus, there are detachable shoulder pads included, giving you the option to customize the look based on your preference and the occasion.
The black dobby spot pattern is timeless and versatile. It’s sophisticated enough for formal events but not so dressy that you couldn’t wear it to a nice dinner or special celebration. The spots add visual interest and texture without being too bold or distracting.
Fabric and Comfort
The POWERFIT® mesh fabric is absolutely beautiful. It’s a fabric that breathes, which is essential for all-day comfort, especially at events where you might be moving around or dancing. Despite being mesh, the dress is fully lined, so you don’t have to worry about transparency or feeling exposed. The lining ensures modesty while the mesh overlay adds that special touch of elegance.
The midi length is perfect—it hits at just the right spot to be elegant and sophisticated while still being practical and comfortable to move in.
Final Thoughts
The Victoria Black Dobby Spot Angel Sleeve Mesh Long Midi Dress is a stunning addition to any wardrobe. Whether you’re attending a wedding, a special dinner, or any occasion where you want to look and feel fabulous, this dress delivers. The size 16 fits like a dream, the design is flattering and sophisticated, and the quality is excellent.
At £85, it’s an investment piece that you’ll reach for again and again. The timeless black colour and classic spot pattern mean it won’t go out of style, and the comfortable, breathable fabric ensures you’ll actually enjoy wearing it.
