I need some jersey wrap type dresses for work

20 replies

IAmRubyLennox · 24/08/2012 09:19

Can anyone help me find some?

Bargain ones?

Wasted hours bidding on some on ebay but didn't win any at all because I am hopeless at ebay. I'm going back to work in 2 weeks (HLTA), need some new stuff and can't really justify expensive shopping because of a raft of other expenses right now.

All help gratefully received.

How cheap is cheap?

The Boden Paris dress is currently in the sale and is really, really flattering - £49.50.

I've got 2, washed one of them twice and it washes well.

Also, on the Brora site there is a purple Liberty jersey dress for £19 - started out at 129 !

M&S often do a range for about £35 as do M&Co although they are not all in stock yet. Debenhams too can be a good bet. Wrap dresses are my staple for work. Am off to google

Phase eight have some for about £30 in their sale.

I went to the Planet Concession in our department store this week and bought five wrap dresses for £40 that were originally £100 each. New working wardrobe sorted.

IAmRubyLennox · 24/08/2012 09:31

fantastic, thank you all very much. Very excited about Brora sale, it's normally a site I'd just discount on the basis of being too expensive. We also have a Planet outlet so I might go and check it out, again, not somewhere I'd thought of.

Thank you, people with fingers on style pulse Smile

I am a great fan of Wallis dresses for my shape (5ft 5 and size 16 at the moment, not much waist left) They always seem to be flattering. I usually gamble and have about 5 of them which I bought on ebay, all for about 7 quid. I'd say I'm very happy with all of them.

Its not a dress - but I jsut bought the most amazing flattering jersey wrap top from The White Company that would look great with a skirt. Its black and £50.
Not cheap but it does look great and feels very good quality.

Olympicnmix · 24/08/2012 09:39

DP again
John Lewis sale size 8 & 10

Keepthechangeyoufilthyanimal · 24/08/2012 09:39

Try Next or H&M - I've seen them in there but don't seem to have them on the websites.
You could try ebay again but just look at buy it now if you are not winning on bids. Loads here
ASOS is a good option too, massive selection and cheap!

Olympicnmix · 24/08/2012 09:41

Jaeger £100 off

HazleNutt · 24/08/2012 09:42

I'm wearing this at the moment, very flattering and not as revealing in real life

Wow, just got £400 worth of Brora stuff for £90!

trixymalixy · 24/08/2012 10:02

I'm a big fan of the FC jersey dresses, they do them in loads of different prints and sleeve lengths, here

There are always loads on eBay.

datingthedevil · 24/08/2012 10:20

The m&s ones are good. A few of them are half price in the sale. So 17.50 is really reasonable. They r v comfortable.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/08/2012 18:27

I really like the White Company for jersey dresses. They hang nicely, don't cling and wash really well. A bit expensive at full price, so try and get a code. I'm 5'2 and they tend to sit just below my knees. They are not all 'wrap' style but they are v flattering.

civilfawlty · 24/08/2012 18:31

Several in sainburys today - which surprised me. And 25% off til Monday.

neuroticmumof3 · 24/08/2012 20:24

Thanks for the tip about Brora Laurie. I just got a very expensive dress for £29 and a lovely scoop neck jersey top for £12. I love jersey dresses.
