im definitely a winter dresser....i love jumper dresses with opaques and boots....but cant find any nice ones at all. i suspect i have now missed the best of the sales....am a size 14.

has anyone spotted anything on their travels that might fit the bill?

Yes to COS, got a super grey one in there.

Got two from H&M cowl necked grey, one with a ribbed design.

Do you have Vero Moda in the UK? They also have some nice ones.

Pmsl at rude jumper dresses can be provocative ad mumsy with boobs. Nice if you are skinny enough fr tight. Saw someone yesterday in a longer pencil skirt soo cool

Mango paisley combo dress with plum cardi nice for work?

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 29/12/2012 11:24

I have some great sweater dresses and they don't make me look rude suit me but I am not bosomy drat. They need to be fine knit otherwise the wearer looks a bit upholstered.

MariahScarey · 29/12/2012 11:24

no, notjumper dresses look rude - they make me look pg. ANY taoilored dress looks like I am about to take it off

noddyholder · 29/12/2012 11:28

What's wrong with that? You can't legislate for being sexy

MariahScarey · 29/12/2012 11:30

its embarassing. I am not sexy. I just look all tits. and in those horrific polyester tea dresses i look like one of htose weird adults who liked to pretend to be a little girl.

noddyholder · 29/12/2012 11:30

i always look like a shapeless lump in a sweater dress but zara had a few that would have been lovely was i the right shape for them

AloeSailor · 29/12/2012 12:06

Fat face do nice ones

DonaAna · 29/12/2012 12:15

I have a few from last year from Celtic Sheepskin (sized big, take S if you want M) and long sweaters that can be worn as a minidress from Filippa K.

I am very slim and have small breasts but they tend to accentuate my belly. I've just bought a DvF merino wrap dress and it actually looks much more flattering and curve-skimming. Worth checking which style works on you.

Mumelie · 29/12/2012 12:59

I have bought (and more importantly worn on longs days sat down at work - no bum bag!) this from Monsoon and this from White Stuff. I'm a very curvy size 12 (big boobs big arse) and these are both very flattering.

I love jumper dresses. There is no better winter uniform than a woolly dress, opaques and boots.

Agree with shape is crucial. I wore a ponte cap sleeve dress for an event recently and was told it looked 'very Mad Men' by two separate people Hmm a good jumper dress skims and neutralises curves though like a tunic
