What can I replace my Janice dress with

[bambootoo]

My lovely grey Janice dress from Phase 8 is no longer and i cant find anything as flattering. I'm tall and appleshaped 14 with good legs. I loved the material and the drape accross the tum. I've seen the VW anglomania ones but want something a bit cheaper, that I can wear with a jacket or a cardigan to cover wobbly arms.

Looked in Phase 8 but they have nothing similar and nothing on ebay.. I should have bought more when i had the chance. Is there anything similar around at the moment?

This is slightly Janice-y www.mandco.com/modern-icon/printed-cowl-neck-jersey-dress/invt/1220543black/

Think you're being a bit hard on GP - quality is variable and probably wouldn't buy at full price but have had some nice bits from there.

I'll believe you missbeehiving

I think it used to be a lot better but like french connection - its got worse in the last couple of years.

Mind you - everyone seems to be polyester mad at the moment [sniff]

I bought three janice dresses (grey, striped and navy) and love them. I've just bought one from H&M which is pretty flattering. Will see if I can find it online

here

Well I didn't pay much for my purchases so maybe I'm biased

Tilly that H & M dress is lovely. But how short in real life? Looks v short on the model & at 5 ft 9 I suspect too short on me too :( And why oh why don't H & M do size 12-14??? They are cutting out such a huge chunk of potential market!

I'm 5'7" and the bottom comes to just above my knee and the 'v' is slightly higher. It rules out anything except opaques or leggings for me but its great with those. I agree the sizing can be a bit crap

Ive ordere the H and M one

grr at anoying sizes

The H&M one is a lovely style but yet again they've made it in polyester - and I hate the stuff.

Agree re polyester - vile stuff.

I saw the h and m one irl was attracted by the colour but you would need to be kate moss like to wear it

Not cheap but Ce Me London does lots of drapey jersey dresses in all sort of colours, styles and sleeve lengths. here

I ordered one of those CeMe dresses from the Outnet or NAP and there was a bit too much fabric IMO. It was reminscent of a bandage. And hideous creasing.

I think the drapey dresses may be this years gypsy skirt.

I agree Noddy.

Whizzed through JL today and every concession aimed at the more ahem mature lady had them - phase 8 had some hideous looking floral one.

I think they are like leggings lull you into a false sense of security and could cause expanding waist syndrome! I think they are mumsy

Tried on a navy structured sleeveless dress in cos much more flattering and slimming.

I ahve bought this as I love the midi length, v v flattering on me

shame my arse is about 4 foot across

Love the scooped back on that Cyb. What's the fabric like? You've got yourself a bargain there. Sadly, I seem to remember that you are a skinny minx and I have the stomach of a sumo wrestler.

I like that cyb.

Remus I most deffo am not a skinny minx. Am a tall 14 with big ol hips and butt

The material is a jersey, not the highest lycra content I've ever seen but I thought with little jacket and flats woudl be nice in spring

Wish I'd kept purple one now....

I have high hopes for this little Phase Eight bargain, just ordered tonight. Theres a free delivery code on the site too. Delighted here

Ooh I was going to link to the DP stripy dress, but I see I have been beaten to it!!DP have some great dresses in ATM.

Agree - I bought a drapey spotty one from DP but, sadly, may not be wearing as I've gained 6 lbs in two weeks and will be straining at the seams!
This.
