School run dress/ PTA dress...you know you have them

[PerryCombover]

Right I've seen this and this
What do you all think and give me your runners and riders please

Ooooh love them both. Get them and feedback please!

Not sure about the labial - look pockets on the 2nd one...

I like the pockets there....

Yuk

Got the cocoon dress it is really easy to wear but did not like the gold coloured Zip at the back, but the simplicity of the style made it look really quite luxurious. I have worn it with ballet pumps and DMs so really flexible dress. Buy

Don't like the gold button detail on the crossover dress, other one is good

Why the gold bits?
Ffs
grin spicandspan

Gold bits makes it speziale innit. Maybe you could accessorise with a waterfall cardie to hide gold

isn't a waterfall cardi and mumsnet cardinal sin?? i'd ditch the gold and swap the button for something else. like the cocoon dress.

Getting back to dresses....

Seen any?

I've worn this a lot

I like that one MissBeehiving love the neck. But do I need to have really small hips? I'm a pear shaped size 12.

Oo I've just been looking there and like this

I'm a 10/12 apple and not snake hipped and the waistband sits just below belly button level. I think that it would be fine - it's not clingy.

bit nightdress maybe but I like

for under my gut

Silvercharm I'm a pear shape and ordered that dress, and I thought it flattered my figure. However I decided to exchange it for this one, as it's a bit longer and I'm self conscious about my lower thigh too. The downside is that it doesn't come in as many beautiful colours as MissBeehiving's dress

Will the elastic make you look gufty?

I think that LaRedoute have some nice stuff in this year, I got a a great cashmere sweater which looks shit in the picture but actually is lovely for about £20 after I used a discount code. And it was delivered in less than 6 months although I'm STILL WAITING for a navy lace skirt

Zuleika - I thought that one looked lovely too - how long is it on you and how tall are you?

Perry - I think the elastic covers up the gufty bits.

The first one is a bit strange and frumpy looking irl which is a shame as it did seem quite promising. But I think you are a fair bit taller than me so it might be okay.

Like the look of the second one a lot.

All those la redoute dress are horrid. Just wear trews

Trousers aren't always comfortable or flattering for everyone though. I look better in a dress.

Trousers don't even fit me, let alone suit me. Stupid short legs

MissBeehiving I'm 5'4 and the dress comes to about an inch or so above my knee. I also ordered this, (yes, I got carried away!!) which is the best length for me (just above the knee) and the button detail on the sleeves is really lovely. But clings, rather than skims, my tummy. So yes, the elastic is the most flattering

Oh, I wear lots of trews, I just like a dress

Zuleika - I dithered over both the dresses you linked to and I really do like them eyes discount code and sits on hands
