I live in dresses but I cannot STAND the floral trend that's all over the place and the weird scratchy materials (polyester etc) are abhorrent.

AIBU if I ask your recommendations for inexpensive, plain jersey or cotton-based dresses? Why are they so hard to find? Why is everything patterned?

Please help Mumsnet! Else I shall have to go into autumn naked.

I love that. Would you mind telling me what the sizing like? It’s unclear from the reviews and annoyingly it says on the website the model is wearing a size 10, when the dress only comes in S M L etc.

I am a bit on the chunky side at the moment and a size 18 and have the L but it is the type of dress that I could still wear it easily if I lost 2 stone. It just hangs perfectly. I would guess at S being a 8-10 M being a 12-14 and the L being a 14-18. Phase eight are great at returns though so you could always order two sizes and send one back.

Like this is exactly my style of dress - www.phase-eight.com/product/lanie-military-dress-240326351.html#cgid=shirt&is=false&sz=60&start=0&isSecondPage=false&pid=240326351&pos=10

...except it's polyester and staticky, and I would, like Bonnie Tyler, be living in a powder keg and giving off sparks. Woe.
