Cos on Vinted?

I find cos one of those places that is clearly very stylish but looks awful on anyone who isn't a model

You'd need to stand around looking angular all the time

I bought the perfect one from vinted recently...it's actually Dorothy Perkins....black, v neck, normal sleeves, black, fitted but not like a sausage skin. Just above the knee. I agree with what you're saying...

Ralph Lauren?

I get most of mine from Nobody's Child. Really good quality, affordable enough.

Hobbs, usually. Though they don’t seem to have as much stuff this season as previously. M&S pretty decent too.

Hobbs?

Ah, well that's me told! (I'm certainly not a model and I don't stand round looking angular, but I do have some workhorse dresses from Cos).

Have a look at the pretty dress company - have lots of great work dresses, machine washable, sleeves, the lot.

This is when I long for Monsoon in the 1990s, Anokhi, East and Ouiset... I now feel very old, indeed.
