Simple, jersey, short sleeve, knee length dresses. Maybe wrap. Where?

[minxthemanx]

Why can I NEVER find dresses to suit my figure? Big boobs, waist ok but muffin top belly - I know what I want, but can never find them! Anyone seen any knee length, jersey ish (not figure hugging) short sleeved dresses? Wrap style would be fine.

Boden?

I have 2 which I bought recently from sainsburys which might be what you are looking for. Photo below if it helps, I am 5'11 so above knee on me

thanks, i'll have a look.

I share your pain.

It is the 'knee length' bit that causes problems. Most of the contenders are just too damn short.

DPs do something that might suit you. I can't link sorry

I am 5.7 and they are knee lengh on me and very flattering. They have a kind of false wrap effect and come in loads of different colours, Cheap as well.

I've got it in Lilac, Red, and Navy and Cream stripe.

Phase Eight?
East
Laura Ashley
Fenn Wright & Manson

Fenn Wright Manson have a load of lovely wrap style dresses on sale at the moment. I love their cut. They are so sexy.

Boden this or this
are in stock now.

I have this double knot dress in two colours from AW11 - hoefully they will repeat again this year as the pleating at the front hides my pot belly nicely

No idea if this tesco dress is nice but it's £20 ?

Second vote for the Sainsbury's ones. I've got a sage green one, with wee shoulder pads, and a bluey, corally, greeny pattern one. They are cheap as chips (some in the sale for £9) and very comfy, but with the right accessories can look rather dressy.

White Company?

i have ordered from this etsy seller , only ordered yesterday so can't feedback yet
great reviews though !
here

Deffo try The White Company, if you just want black, navy or grey - no good if you want bright pink or acid green or something!

I have a problem a complete love of wrap dresses. H & M do some great ones. Also if you're bigger boobed try Bravissimo for the best fitting dress you'll ever have. They arent cheap though. There's also a lovely one in M&S at the minute & I've just bought a Mantaray one from Debenhams that is really pretty.

Thanks ladies, the Dorothy P ones look good, and I haven;t even checked out your other suggestions. Many thanks - surely amongst that lot I'll find a dress that's relatively flattering!

The Gap! Saw some there yesterday.

I bought this today - its very flattering and a bargain as well.

Have you tried wallis?

Land's End

Land's End again

Got a 3/4 length sleeve version last winter and it is fantastic quality.

Pepperberry (formerly Bravissimo) do sometimes have nice jersey dresses. I like this one.

Unfortunately once you've weeded out all the hideous prints there's precious little to choose from usually. I don't know what they've got against plain, nicely cut basics - when Bravissimo first started doing clothes they were much better.

However, if you do find something you like, it will have a great fit on the larger of nork. I can never get White Stuff tops or most wraps to fit properly.

On phone so can't link, but just discovered that Kettlewell Colours do jersey dresses! I have had a few of their tops and the quality of the jersey is good.
