I really need an autumn/knit dress to act as a bit of a wardrobe staple.

[TheLadyOfTheGreenKirtle]

i was going to get this in either garnet or midnight blue but sold out.

i need to be able to wear it over leggings or with thick tights and chunky boots and cardigans etc. I am petite (5'2", size 8/10 with narrow hips and big boobs) with pale skin and red hair. the problem is, i need it to cost £25 or less!

please help!

oh, and am 32

some some nice knit jumpers/dress in M&S today. Think it was £35.

thanks, i saw one i liked in zara, a kind of shirt dress thing, with buttons to waist and grandad collar and belt

I've also got a nice one from m and s but its more wooly than your picture. Gap have got a few nice ones in their range.

This any good? They have some others, so worth a look at their website.

hmm, a bit shapeless, my boobs would make me look fatter than i am. it doesnt have to be knitted, just a simillar style to the one i linked to iykwim

i like this but not in my size

i also like this with a polo neck underneath but a bit wintery for now iykwim

Slightly over budget but this is nice

oooo i love that! thats more the type of thing.

purple petite from Dp.

pockets black.

thats quite nice!

I am quite liking the DP ones because I am short and they look okay... though I am not as slender as you(but I am older too), shorter and probably larger of norks, sigh... not that that is of any relevance, I am not looking for a dress either really, but if you do try the DP one let me know how it fits, I am usually disappointed by their clothes.

what do we think of this

i will look for them tomorrow. the problem i find with dp is that they are v generous on the hip and waist, so while length is ok (although my legs are quite long for a shortarse) they seem really roomy on me.

found it! from zara £22.99. got it home and am wearing it now with plum coloured tights and brown flat boot!
