Skirts or dresses with decent pockets are rare and beautiful things

[FlemCandango]

Just got some dresses and a skirt from Harkel (sale). Decent pockets in all and I was more excited about that, and the fact they were properly constructed and adequately deep - than any other aspect. They were also colourful and nice cotton and fit me, so yes, all good.

Why don't decent pockets come as standard?

Couldn’t agree how annoying it is when

Couldn’t agree more, apart from Cos - all their skirts and dresses do proper ones too and really nicely hidden!

It is a bit expensive but they have loads of sales and I’ve had some bargains

*annoying when clothes don’t

LF Markey does good pockets.

Cos - ok I will bear that in mind. Can't justify buying more dresses at the moment 🤔

Agree. Even jeans rarely seem to have decent pockets these days. Bought a pair from fatface that seemed identical to a pair from 5 years ago, apart from the pockets have gone from normal size to minute!

oh yes, nothing better than proper pockets!

Popsy for dresses (although patterns might not be to everyone's taste)

I find they often make things sit wrong, especially side seam pockets. Mostly because I have a fat arse...

It’s a huge conspiracy to make us buy handbags

Boden dresses have pockets.

I don't have any dresses with pockets in them. I agree they are probably are rare.

@toconclude I’m with you! There’s been so much, “oooooh pockets!” recently... I just received a dress that I had no idea had pockets. A style that wouldn’t have before. Sending it back because my hips are wide enough without 2 extra layers of fabric folded inside and an opening to bulge, just where I don’t need it. I was quite cross!

Pockets in everything!!!

Superdry dresses have pockets but a lot of people on here seem to dismiss that brand.

My hips are wide my arse is round and I still love a good pocket. Not having pockets don't make my hips any different just means I have no where to put things/ hands/ purse when I go to the bar... One day I will go to a bar again.

Brakeburn dresses also have pockets, decent proper pockets!

Yeah I've never understood this obsession with pockets...I don't like carrying stuff in my pocket. Handbags are so much better.

Toast is excellent for things with pockets

Always makes me think of this fabulous piece by Sharon Owens

I came to say Popsy too. Great pockets.
Wacky patterns though!

Toast pinafore dresses are pocket heaven!

Many white stuff skirts have pockets in fact I worn a skirt for the first time in months today a lovely wool lined skirt with two super pockets.

Ness skirts are great for pockets (and I have hips and a bum)

I struggle to find good pockets so was astounded to find my new pjs have great pockets. Not sure why though as it's the one outfit I'm quite happy to not have any!!!!
