I seem to be perpetually searching for the same dress...

... A polo necked, below the knee, black dress. Will consider other colours.

Can be knitted or jersey, but must be stretchy to incorporate rapidly expanding stomach.

Like this but in a 16.

Don't want to spend too much.

Help!

I got this recently and I love it. Don't think it is quite as long as the asos one though. I am a 10-12 and I got medium. It is hard to find good long sleeved dresses.

That's really odd... it's knee length on one model and a mini on the other Confused

What length is it on you and how tall are you?

On me it is slightly above knee when I first put it on. Because it is very stretchy it does tend to work its way up, I am fine with that but you might not be. When I tried on large that was longer, more properly knee length but baggy on the arms. I can measure the length of mine when flat if you would like? I recommend trying on in store with AA as their sizing is a bit variable and they can be funny about returns. Also, I noticed that the jersey material in the size L was much nicer - thicker than in the medium that I bought, if L had fit on the arms would have got that one. Sorry if it sounds like I'm a bit down on AA but I have to say these things for accuracy even if I do love their stuff. I am 5 feet 7 btw.

Both are lovely simon, but I really want it to be just below the knee... thanks though.

Thanks Nhame- have bought one or two things from AA before, so know the quality can vary wildly!

I think it will be too short. Thanks though.

this one any good?

tethersend · 08/11/2011 21:32

Oh Pink, that one is perfect.

But it's £140 and out of stock in my size (which is probably best!)

It is expensive but if it's the one you are looking for give Karen millen a ring and they are great at sourcing!!

I think there is 20% off with Sunday times at the minute.
