Floral Midi Dress
About Ted Baker’s dresses: Ted Baker is best known for print-led occasion dresses — floral midis above all — sold in its 0-5 numeric sizing. Full-price tags run premium into luxury, but deep and frequent markdowns mean most owners buy on sale.
Is the price honest?
Our take
The Floral Midi Dress is Ted Baker's signature dress format: a mid-calf silhouette cut in printed wovens — chiffon, satin, organza — aimed at weddings, work events and occasions. Owners like that the numbered sizing is consistent enough to buy online, and rental-platform reviewers log the format true to size and comfortable to wear for a full event. Caveats are real: prints rotate out every season, the fabrics are mostly polyester rather than natural fiber, and full retail reflects the label as much as the cloth.

Write the first honest reviewThe details
- Material
- Mostly printed polyester wovens — chiffon, satin and organza; a rental-logged chiffon style, for example, is listed at 95% polyester, 5% elastane.
- Fit
- Runs true to size to slightly generous in Ted Baker's 0-5 numbering, with a size 3 mapping roughly to a UK 12. Structured styles fit truer while flowy midis run large, so owners commonly size down in relaxed silhouettes.
- Quality
- Construction and finishing are generally reported as solid for a premium high-street label, though the recurring owner verdict is that the line is more fashionable than good value at full retail — the quality reads fairly once marked down.
- Best for
- Wedding-guest, work-event and occasion dressing where a distinctive print and a dependable online fit matter more than natural fibers.
- Care
- Care varies by fabric, so check the sewn-in label; the printed chiffons, satins and organzas generally call for a cool gentle or hand wash, or dry cleaning, and hang-drying away from heat.
How Ted Baker dresses hold up overall
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.
