I've seen a couple around and quite like the look of them in either white (stupid idea with a toddler and weaning baby) or navy. Any other ideas, or am I a year behind the trend?

Auto correct fail. Title is supposed to read "anglaise".

I have this from Gap.

Really lovely, but be warned, it's the first thing I've bought from Gap in a long while that comes up small.

I'm afraid I can't do links but I have seen a nice one on the all saints website, that looks lovely, not typical all saints IMHO.

Love the Warehouse one but suspect it would look awful on me. The Gap one looks like the first nice thing Gap have stocked for ages.

Agree re Gap dress. It is small and TERRIBLE on boobs, I so wanted to like it.

Gap one is good. I thought it came up a bit big, size down maybe just one size (as opposed to the ten sizes you normally have to size down in Gap). Very flattering, sold out in navy in my size. Was lovely in navy. Yes Remus first nice thing in ages in gap.

love the Gap one, anyone familiar with sizing?

Ooh, thanks everyone, Toasted those links are good.
The gap one is my favourite so far although the M&S one also looks as though it could be good (or very frumpy on me if it fits wrong). I've also found some broderie anglaise fabric online, with the idea of taking the features I like best and making my own.

I tried the warehouse one and oh my lord my boobs in it - not good - not good at all.

The gap one didn't work on me - think the skirt was a bit too a line.

I love broderie anglaise and am always on the look out for a nice dress or skirt in that fabric.

MrsCB, so the skirt isn't straight, pencil fit? I wish they'd make t more obvious in model photo. Is the sizing ok would you say?

MrsCampbellBlack · 05/04/2013 09:22

I got the cotton pique patterned version of the gap one which is smaller sizing. I'd say the gap one is their normal sizing and I felt the skirt was quite a line particularly when viewed from behind.

I love this wrap one but the price is ridiculous...

MrsRoger the emerald version of that is so lovely but a little too see through!

Love the gap dress - if only wasn't massive with bump.
