anyone seen decent midi dresses under £20

[whatamess0815]

keep looking but nothing really that I like. I just want a midi dress that is not bodycon, that has no silly pattern but is simple and sleek and I need short sleeves to hides my bingo wings. preferably cotton but I know I may have to opt for man-made flammable fibre with my budget.

Sorry I can't help but I'm going to watch this thread as I'm looking for exactly same thing!

[whatamess0815]

frustrating, isn't it. just a simple plain midi dress with short sleeves. shops are full of frilly nonsense. sigh

[ThreeFrazzledFandangos]

Dorothy Perkins always do this sort of thing.

Any of these what you're thinking of?

[whatamess0815]

sort off. but they have either silly patterns, have lace. I like the very plain ones but they all have a huge V Back and I am not gorgeous enough for something like that not even sure I can wear a bra with those

This might not be long enough, but it's lovely, cotton and a snip at £20

[tethersend]

bit over budget

[whatamess0815]

thanks Tether, the first one is nice!

I know you said a sleeve but I own this and love it...

Is this considered a silly print? I like it

Have you tried ASOS? Type in midi dresses and sort the results from lower priced first - they always have a few on sale

[whatamess0815]

yes, but nothing really. either only small sizes left over and most of them are sleeveless or bodycon.....

[whatamess0815]

lots of really skimpy stuff but nothing decent.

[1wokeuplikethis]

Thanks frazzled!

I've just ordered 3 dresses off DP after seeing your link. I'm currently 2.5 stone overweight after having my second child & need something pretty (but mainly concealing) to wear for his christening. Hopefully one of them will fit the bill.

I've been looking for ages and not seen anything so thanks!

[whatamess0815]

amaye, 1st one is nice but whilst I am slim, I have hideous upper arms. I couldn't pull that off.

2nd is silly but I do like it somehow

AX Paris??

try warehouse - but over but not much short sleeve black lots more there

[ImBrian]

Boohoo, I got a grey midi dress off tgere for £8 but the sleaves are quite short. The quality is great though and they do loads of colours.

[whatamess0815]

thanks keep, may give them a go. was worried about the V back.
