Desperately seeking the perfect sweater dress - a MN challenge

[MissGreatBritain]

In either black or grey. Needs to:

• look like it's good quality (even if it's cheap )
• be v-neck or scoop ie not high neck
• pretty much knee-length
• be quite plain so it can be dressed up or down

2 squares of dairy milk for the first to find it!
Thanks.

uniqlo

[MavisEnderby]

I bought a nice one in both charcoal and black from La Redoute.

[fishie]

oh dear what high necks you are doomed then. oasis look ok but are shit quality.

[JackieNo]

Expensive, but nice.

[fishie]

redoute i have the £39 in mauve. is 95% cotton 5% cashmere but a funny fit, i am in a 10/12 and am not skinny.

[JackieNo]

Short sleeved, but maybe too much detail.

[BelaLugosiNoir]

Not sure if long enough to count but Great Plains V neck

[JackieNo]

Boden
More Boden

[JackieNo]

With a bow, so maybe not plain enough.

[MissGreatBritain]

Thanks everyone - nothing ideal as yet. jackieno - I like the one with the bow, but as I have enormous quite large norks, I fear the bow would just draw attention to them! Any more anyone? Have bookmarked uniqlo as it looks good.

Jigsaw have one - it got some flak on a thread about schoolrun dresses but looks loverly to me...

[JackieNo]

So are you after a more fitted one, or a looser, shift-like one?

[Clure]

I got a nice one in h&m scoop neck, 3/4 sleeves, fitted and slightly flared out, quite short so I wear with leggings- washes nice, very reasonable though can't remember how much exactly

[JackieNo]

Another try, but maybe not a low enough scoop neck.

[JackieNo]

Could you do a cowl neck?
Cable knit poss a bit short.

[JackieNo]

Bit flared

[MissGreatBritain]

Thanks everyone. Def going to check out the Oasis one, thanks jackie. Also will look in H & M and Jigsaw - thanks Blee and Clure.

[JackieNo]

Fitted and cowl neck

[JackieNo]

Hope you find one you love .

Perfect sweater dress is an oxymoron.

[LyraSilvertongue]

I've just bought this one.
Will look great with a long-sleeved t-shirt underneath.

[SweetCecily]

Reccomend the Boden ones which I currently live in. How about this monsoon one ?

[Hairytoes]

This dress is very figure flattering. I'm an F cup and the neckline is perfect. The dewberry colour is grey IRL, comes in black too.
