Denim dresses

I am looking for a denim dress that is comfortable, i.e. soft, not rigid, kind of smart looking, so dark denim, and doesn't look like a sack of potatoes. What are my chances?Grin

Toast might be a good place to look.

I have a lovely one from H&M. It's not dark denim though.

This! I love it. I wouldn't describe it as rigid but not sure how soft you are looking for as real denim is always going to have a bit of structure? Anyway, looks quite smart and have had lots of compliments. Also dress it up or down depending what you wear inside

Thanks. Toast ones are too amish for me. Nothing suitable in h&m either...

Whistles sometimes do nice denim shirt dresses, also Warehouse had a nice one in the window when i passed last week.

I haven't fancied much from Toast for a while but they do have denim dresses. They are one of those companies that send daily e-mails, which I find offputting.
Uniqlo might be worth a try.

How about this from Gap? Although it’s not dark.

Beyond dark denim what style are you wanting? A shirt dress or pinafore or sheath?
I'd assume you'd have a reasonable choice in GAP. Or what about ASOS. I now want a black denim pinafore mini.

Or this LaRedoute one?

Definitely not a pinafore, no offence to anyone but I am 48 years old, I will not be wearing a pinafore ever again until the day I die.

I quite like this one www.shoptiques.com/products/soyaconcept-denim-blue-dress

but I am petite size 10 and I feel to make it fit round my bum/hips, it will end up too loose/gathered at the back.

Shame GAP don't do darker ones as they do petite sizes...

At what age does a pinafore become unsuitable?

The daphne denim dress in phase eight is in the sale, and available online in a 10. I am petite too, and I can sometimes buy in the regular range in phase eight.

Or the phase eight Demi denim dress in a small? Down to £25.

I don't know mike I guess they are timeless for the right person; I know that being a 5ft2" 48 year old woman, a pinafore would look utterly ridiculous on me.

That could be the one WellTidy!! It doesn't look very soft but still... Thanks!!

I probably look ridiculous in most of my clothes. I like the toast one but it's £££ and would probably be too long for me. I would look at high-end high street shops.

I prefer the Phase Eight Daphne dress but think I'd look like a sack of spuds in it.

IWillSurviveHeyHey · 14/02/2018 18:45

It will potentially on me too Mike but I feel it's worth a go. I can get it from John Lewis, free delivery and free returns, so nothing to lose really.
