To want to buy a dress with pockets

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?

I've got umpteen Fat Face dresses, all with pockets. They keep bringing out the same three styles but with different patterns. It's all I seem to wear, summer and winter! I'm so glad to know I'm not the only pocket addict Grin

White Stuff. They've got a sale on too. Really flattering jersey patterned dresses with pockets, really comfy too.

I fucking love a dress with pockets.

@steff13 wow thanks, those eshakti dresses are perfect!

I have a nice Ponte dress from Monsoon with pockets

Sisinisawa · 16/01/2018 22:56

It's easy to add pockets as long as there are side seams.

Those memes! Grin

I got some skirts from Oliver Bonas with pockets! Yay - I love them, and a couple of dresses which I was delighted to find had pockets. All knee length (and I’m not short).

The Simone dress from FatFace

MercianQueen · 16/01/2018 23:33

I bought this from Dotty P's a couple of weeks ago. It's much nicer than it looks in the photo and has two front pockets that you wouldn't know are there (apart from the fact my donnies are permanently stuffed in there as our office is freeezing). £18.50 in the sale, and doesn't need ironing Wink

Ladies who shop at Boden and sea salt, is the fit true to size, smaller or a little bigger than your average high street shop? These are usually out of my budget but they have some I can afford in their sales. I'm trying to figure out if I should order size 10 or 12. Post pregnancy I think I am about a 10 upper body and a 12 lower body in most supermarket and high street stores.

CruCru · 17/01/2018 10:27

I would say possibly slightly more generous than other shops (like M&S).

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 17/01/2018 11:54

I actually find Seasalt on the smaller size or maybe I'm in denial

gunsandbanjos · 17/01/2018 12:20

I find seasalt true to size.

Tigger85 · 17/01/2018 16:37

Thank you, I look forward to getting some nice looking but practical clothes ☺
