The verdict
Fit
Dark blue midi from outlet stock. Ted Baker's proportions are typically fitted. Confirm how the dress sits at the waist and hips, and verify the midi length suits your proportions.
Quality
Outlet-priced dress means standard construction and reliable finishes. Dark blue is durable and less prone to fading than bright colors; suitable for regular wear.
Is the price fair?
147.50 USD for an outlet midi is fair value; discount reflects sale pricing rather than compromised quality.
Best for
A practical dresser seeking a dark blue midi for casual events or work rotation at a reasonable price.
Care
Dark dyes release initially; wash separately and use cool water to protect the color.
What owners report about Ted Baker dresses
Sizing dominates owner discussion of Ted Baker dresses: the brand uses its own numbered sizes rather than standard ones, and most owners find dresses cut generously, though fit swings by style — structured pencil shapes run truer while flowy midis run large, and forum threads disagree outright on whether the brand runs big or small. Owners who land the right size report dresses that fit beautifully and last, but forum posters consider the line overpriced at full retail and commonly advise buying on sale.
- Strengths
- When the size works, owners report well-fitting, long-lasting dresses they are consistently happy with.
- Watch out for
- Non-standard numbered sizing plus style-to-style inconsistency makes ordering unseen risky, and posters judge full retail prices poor value — sale buying is the standard advice.
- Sizing
- Ted Baker's numbered sizing runs generous (a 3 maps roughly to a UK 12/14); flowy midi styles run larger than structured cuts, so check each item's measurements.
