To ask where you all buy dresses and workwear from?

[abrighterday]

I love wearing dresses for work but I’m really struggling to find any online that aren’t mustard yellow or have frills in weird places!!! It’s an office environment so needs to be smart/tailored. MNetters where do you buy dresses for work?

White stuff for summery dresses.

Gap for trousers (petite, and they are washable).

Uniqlo for knitwear

Hobbs for tops (I buy them all in the sale - their sales are actually really good)

@Stripyhoglets1

M and S. Sainsburys. John Lewis.

Snap! We must have matching wardrobes

But they are the few stores left that I can visit and handle/try on the clothes before buying. I Hate buying clothes online.

They also tend Also to still offer natural fabrics, unlike all the synthetic polyester That is sold elsewhere.

If you want the more expensive stuff on a budget you could try vinted or vestiaire collective.

Sainsburys, Asda and Dorothy Perkins online

Hobbs
Mine still look brand new after near daily use for 5 years

Zara, Cos, H&M, M&S.

Dorothy Perkins mainly atm.

I do have a couple of Popsy dresses, which I had high hopes for as they are a good length and have pockets, but the quality of the fabric is dreadful and they bobble fast.

try JDY at Asos OP, reasonable prices and good quality imo.

Mint Velvet

I use Roman, mid-range prices and good quality.

Popsy are a start up and finding their way a bit, but I have a couple of tunics from them and they've worn well. I don't really fit their dress styles, which is a shame as I love their pockets and prints.

I used to like Wallis for dresses and also Betty Jackson, Black.

FatFace are good in a sale too

Hobbs - great fit!

Hobbs and LK Bennett.

I save money and splurge in their sales or at the outlet shop.

H&M

A few shops I visited for first time this weekend that had nice stuff...

Arket

All of my clothes and shoes are from Brand Alley. Many of the brands mentioned above are on there. This week I’ve worn Lulu Guinness, Hobbs, Vivienne Westwood and Whistles for a fraction of the usual price. I’ve had Hobbs and Boden dresses for £15 from there.

Hobbs, they wear well and they have good sales.
Also charity shops picked up a silk dress for £20.
Used to buy from Mint Velvet but the quality has gone downhill I don't go in anymore.

La redoute on line well worth a look. Massive range and slightly few different as French good sales

This why I am so thrilled to work in education even as a senior manager:

Shite stuff
Seasalt
Bravissimo
Boden
M&S
Toast
Cos

Always dresses.

Boden sale or second hand, lk Bennett (sale), Sainsbury, m&s, new look.

Reiss, Damsel in a dress, Jigsaw, Hobbs, Pure, Whistles, Bjauken.

To be honest though, I haven’t worn a dress for work in quite a while.

Shite stuff
