Which of these do you prefer?

I want a knitted dress/tunic to wear with leggings and boots. Ordered this from Boden and whilst it's lovely on, I think the length would be indecent with leggings - more of a wear with jeans top, I think. Quite like the look of this from Hush. Haven't bought from Hush before and have read mixed reviews re quality.

Any preferences ladies?

The hush one. Nothing worse then bulge of bum through leggings

Just been to asda an d got some gorgeous brown riding type boots and few wooly long dresses, bargain too

I have the Boden one and love it. But, for what it's worth, wouldn't wear with leggings rather than jeans, ie as a dress. I'm tall and large, but don't think I I would even if I were slender.

Love the Hush one. Boden one definitely more of a jumper than a dress.

Love the hush.

Definately the Hush dress. Looks far more stylish.

The hush one!

The hush one. I do like the stripy jumper though.

Thanks! Am going to order the Hush dress in navy. If I wear it with brown boots (probably dark brown but maybe tan if I can afford the new boots I'd like) what colour of leggings ought I to put with it - and should I wear same colour top under dress as leggings? I'm useless at putting things together! Grin

Might still keep the Boden jumper - must try it with jeans!

Sorry if this is a thread hijack, but just wondering whether people think the Hush dress would work with BFing? The buttons on the shoulder look like they might undo low enough for access - what do people think? I really like this dress and am desperately trying to find longer tunic/dress pieces I can BF easily with!!

The buttons are only on one side so not sure but if you wore a Henley top underneath, could you lift the dress up and undo the buttons on the henley? Or they do a Henley style dress which might work better?

Defo the Hush one!!!! Why not go for thick tights...then you can afford to try more colours without breaking the bank! I am currently wearing brighter purple tights with a blue knitted dress and it gets loads of compliments as a look! I thought it would be too bright until i saw it in a shop window and thought what the hell........

Tights are a great idea! Thanks.

Better not be!! It's on back order. I phoned them before lunch and the lady said they're due in at the end of October and the backorder list isn't sold out. Am going to place an order before the day is out.

The hush one is fab.

Poodlehorse · 04/10/2011 21:48

Hush one, i have been pondering it for myself, maybe i better get a shift on if it is on back order only.
