Fancy getting your hands on some celeb-approved dresses that will have you looking great this summer? Of course you do, and Phase Eight is just the place to pick up those figure-flattering frocks that will have you feeling as fabulous as the likes of Alison Hammond and Lorraine Kelly.

When we think about Phase Eight, we usually visualise dramatic gowns that you’d only ever be able to pull out for a special occasion, such as a wedding guest dress. However, in recent years, the brand has had a complete makeover, with more casual, tailored styles taking the forefront – so much so that several of our fave presenters have embraced our screens wearing Phase Eight dresses.

We’re talking linen midi dresses worthy of a picnic date and tailored styles that will keep you looking profesh in the office. Oh and, of course, we can’t forget those stunning occasion dresses worthy of any spring wedding or even a race day dress.

Are Phase Eight dresses true to size?

Worried about ordering the wrong size dress? While sizing varies between styles, Phase Eight dresses generally fit true to size. However, if you’re still unsure, then we recommend checking out the brand’s size guide to ensure you order the best size for your body.

Are Phase Eight dresses expensive?

While we all love to grab a bargain, Phase Eight does sit on the slightly more expensive side of the high street as dress prices can vary from £35.50 for a sale dress to £450 for a bridal gown.

However, the higher price point does mean the quality of clothing is slightly better than some more affordable brands. We like to think of our Phase Eight dresses and investment purchases that we’ll be pulling out at any given opportunity.
