Mildy smart work dress with pockets

[Swannykazoo]

I am currently suffering a 1000 pop ups with Gina Bacconi lace sleeve dresses after doing the JL style questionnaire based on a thread yesterday.
Thought I'd ask if anyone has seen any decent dresses that might cover an arse for work, and have pockets. As I have ginormous boobs looking for v-neck or scoop neck. All I can see are skater style high neck dresses that look great if you're slim and small of nork but would make me look like matron.
My work isn't suit smart, more smart causal and a dress means I only have to find 1 clean item to leave the house, but carrying a bleeper and pen are a pest without pockets.
Thanks in advance S+B superstars....

Have a look at the Windser London Miracle dress. I have mine on today. Nice V neck and pockets. I feel fabulous in it! They are on JL and the have their own website. You have just missed the sale on though.

That looks bloody brilliant snowythank you though my bank balance won't

Seasalt has some stuff that I could get away with wearing to work - i'm pretty tall though and they sometimes seem a bit short - today I'm flashing a bit more of my chunky upper legs than is sensible for my weight and age! Good prices and wash easily though.

Funnily I wore a seasalt skirt with pockets yesterday - bought in a wee shop on holiday so I shall look online too

[Stumbletrip40]

i quite like boden's ponte range too but they're a bit pricey for the quality these days, I had a lovely ponte dress but after a couple of years it looked a bit tatty.

[CMOTDibbler]

I have a ponte one with pockets from Pepperberry like this one, or this current

[OvertiredandConfused]

How about this Seasalt one?

[DelphiniumBlue]

White Stuff have quite a few dresses with pockets.

Lands End do some nice dresses with pockets. About £70 full price but some are in the clearance section.

I like the Seasalt dress but feel I'd look like I was wearing a sack. I'm actually really disappointed with Seasalt just now - maybe its just the shoes but the model looked frumptastic. And if the model looks frumptastic......
I'll have a look at Boden too. Winser had all better no fit and need to go back as I've gone a wee bit crazy

Kaliko ? Lots of dresses on sale on their website. I have a navy one with pockets for work. But conservative but washes well, pocket for lipstick, easy to dress up.

Snowy and Swanny please report back on the Winsers as I really want one now I've seen this thread! But would like to understand the fit better before ordering . Did you buy your usual size or did you size down like they advise on the website? TIA

[snowypenguin]

Size down. I am a 12/14. 14 in tops due to ample boobage. 12 is a lovely fit. Very comfy dress and certainly something I will be buying more of.

Boden Clementine (in the clearance bit). Flattering fit, and pockets.

Cos.

I have this one m.boden.co.uk/en-GB/womens-dresses/day-dresses/wh974/womens-seam-detail-tunic-dress.html

Looks dressier with big jewellery

[Backingvocals]

I've just bought the very thing in Cos. Will try to find a link. I am booby and hippy with a waist and it looks really good even if I do say so myself.

It's very fitted on me whereas this looks more tunicy than it really is on a woman with boobs and hips.

[blodynmawr]

Thanks Snowy .
Will check the Boden one out too Pickle.

[Swannykazoo]

Parcels arriving soon so will report back. I would describe me much like Snowy so hopefully the 12 will work. Also a "suedette" shift dress in M+CO with pockets ordered....
And Pickle may have just led me astray again. I have a cowl neck dress very like that Boden one from Banana Republic a few years ago and it is so great I am contemplating taking it to a seamstress for a copy dress. in my dreams

[OvertiredandConfused]

I'm going to try the Seasalt one when I'm in one of their big shops in Cornwall next week and will report back!

[StarJumpAlertTakeCover]

Try this one

I have it, it washes and wears beautifully. Much better than it looks on the website. I love it.
And great pockets!
