Please help me find a dress or two!

I'm looking for a dress that I can wear during the day - I'm a SAHM - something smart but casual in a ditsy print or similar. I was thinking of wearing it with maybe a long cardigan and opaque tights.

I'm petite, about 5' tall, size 8-10 but more a 10 since having DC4 nearly 6 months ago.

I seem to live in jeans which don't really do much for me at the moment as my thighs are chunky at the tops and have a bit of a mummy tummy :(

I just can't seem to find what I'm after, it needs to be shortish (well, just above the knee, not mini!) and if it has nork access for easy breastfeeding then all the better :)

I just don't have time to trail round the shops and end up browsing online but usually stick to the same places like Next, DP, New Look and I think I may be looking in the wrong places. I'm 32 btw, so maybe I need to look somewhere more grown up! I really need some style help as have lost all confidence since having DS2, even though I've lost nearly all the baby weight but am much wobblier now.

Thankyou :)

Phase eight have 25% off dresses now, some of which are a good price.
Good BF options on some.
Quality not quantity is my new mantra!

Only £2.95 for p&p to choose a whole selection on a credit card,try on at home and return (instore for free?).
I'm a serial returnerBlush as can't try on with wayward toddlers escaping constantly.

Ickle, I've got some day dresses from Mantaray in Debenhams. They're all in a thick, stretchy, printed jersy - some with a cross over neckline (good for breastfeeding). They're comfortable and I always feel good wearing them I think they were on average £35-ish. Here

I have just ordered this dress from Oasis. To be worn with a long sleeved top underneath and cardy on top!

I'm same height and love wearing little dresses with leggings and boots, throw a long cardi over- good look for day without the jeans!
Have a look at Dorothy Perkins website, a few suggestions -
