knitted dresses and tights

[nailpolish]

does this combo cause static? does the dress stick to the legs? i quite fancy getting a knitted dress

[Tillyscoutsmum]

Spray of hair spray over your tights stops static and more wool/less nylon tights are better ime

I love my wool dresses

[nailpolish]

aha! great tip

[cuttingmeownthroatdibblaaaargh]

I wear a microfibre slip under my knitted dresses. It stops any cling, and helps the dress to not stick to any lumpy bits of me too.

[nailpolish]

yes i thought about that
do you wear a full length one?

[WhatFreshHellIsThis]

oh yes, sweater dresses are a big favourite in the FreshHell wardrobe - love them!

and they're brilliant when pregnant, as well. Lots of room for bump and no waistband to fall down constantly.

I don't get any static problems, always wear thick opaques though.

I need some sweater dresses, but they need to be cheap.
Where can I get them?

[TheSwarovskiCrystalsGoat]

i find if one buys your woollen dresses from brora with a silk lining one tends not to suffer such problems.

[WhatFreshHellIsThis]

La Redoute are good for them sometimes

[Lizzylou]

Hmm, will look on La Redoute, thanks

[cuttingmeownthroatdibblaaaargh]

Yes, because a waist slip encourages tummy cling ime - the full length slides over it better.

my sister had a lovely purple one on the other day with black tights-she looked stunning.i agree with hair spray.

[LadyGlencoraPalliser]

Microfibre slips from M&S are my tip - they come in loads of lengths so you can avoid the 'snowing down south' effect.

[KristinaM]

ladyGp - are you my mother? she is the only person i have heard use that expression

[LadyGlencoraPalliser]

I got that one from my mother Kristina!

[soyabean]

I would like one too, but also want cheap,like LIzzylou and ideally just on/above knee. Any other recommendations other than La Redoute?

[widgypog]

I got some really nice ones from Primark £10!

[FrightKnot]

Did you find one np?

I am similarly thinking this year...

[Tillyscoutsmum]

H&M have a few nice ones - about £15 ish

peacocks

[Tillyscoutsmum]

Just bought the Peacocks one (above) in black and green and was very impressed for the price.

[soyabean]

I saw the green one in peacocks yesterday:really nice and not too thick and chunky, but only one in shop and wrong size for me...
