To want to buy a dress with pockets

[fizzicles]

I am determined to buy clothes with pockets. It is too annoying not having them.

So, I need semi-smart dresses for work that are practical for working in reception with a bunch of messy 4/5 year olds, not too expensive (up to £50 would be OK I think) that have pockets. Can I find anything anywhere?? Not a sniff. AIBU? Can you help me?

Oliver Bonas used to sell dresses with pockets. They might be worth a look. Although they come up quite short.

I have a few Apricot tunic dresses with pockets. I wear them for work with smart leggings or thick tights depending on the length. The pockets are invaluable.

Cos do pockets. A good reason to love them. Clothes tend to be cotton and machine-washable, too. And - as if I haven't already said enough - a vast amount of their clothing can be hung up to dry, with ironing only necessary for perfectionists.

I have a few from next that have pockets. I hate dresses that don’t have them!!

I should write their marketing:

"Cos. For women who do things. We know you don't have servants and reticules."

I have this Hush one and I love it.

Really comfortable, easy to wear, pockets, dress up or down, £49.

Yup. Cos. Also Toast but ££££. Toast sale?

Have you looked at seasalt?

Seasalt tunics have pockets

Laura Ashley used to make some. Sainsburys occasionally.

God I love pockets in dresses. How do we start a campaign?

Most of their dresses look to have pockets, some are a little above your price range though.

Gudrun Sojen usually have dresses/tunics with pockets - and sometimes, about that in sale. Good quality materials so they wash well and last, so worth the investment. And perhaps look for any lagen look type stuff. I have a lovely green tunic dress with pockets that's from White Stuff.

There's this Hush one too

That I have just put in my basket.

My wedding dress had pockets, they were so handy!

Seconding Gudrun Sojen. Nice thick, soft jersey.

I like Seasalt and Cos. However, I haven’t bought much under £50 from there.

I went on a few dressmaking courses for this very reason.

Most of my dresses now have pockets

This is about the fourth Mumsnet thread on the subject of pockets I've read in the last couple of years. I think the campaign has started.

As I've said before, i won't buy a dress without pockets, and pockets are a feminist issue.

I have now had my consciousness raised to the point where I just think it's absolutely absurd to produce mass-market daywear for women without pockets.

I have dresses with pockets. I get mine from Seasalt....their sale can be good.

I have 2 from Boden - bought in the sale. Same dress in two different colours. Also my sister won’t buy a dress without pockets - she always carries a lot of keys - she has quite a few dresses/tunics from Sainsburys.

A lot of dresses from Yumi have pockets, I've got quite a few from there.

(My wedding dress had hidden pockets, it was ace, got a whole make-up bag in one of them!)

Debenhams has a range called 'Mantaray', I have four dresses all with lovely big pockets!
