I want dresses stamps foot...

[Stylelostinlabour]

Help me find some dresses I can wear in the day as I'm sick of skiing jeans and want to a little more polished.

Size 14 and 5'7

Come help me find some nice dresses and show me what you have?

[Stylelostinlabour]

Oh like the NW3 one that's the kind of thing could even live with the frilly bit at the front...

Have booked marked it

[cheddarcheeselover]

I hate to say it but boden's got a sale on, some bargain day dresses at 70% off....

[knitknack]

Ooh I love that blue people tree dress! I HATE ties too - they interfere with cardigans etc, it's just lazy pattern cutting! Wow, I never realised I had such strong feelings about dresses!

[Stylelostinlabour]

Me neither until I decided enough I want a couple of good nice dresses.

This boden (shudder) might not be too bad but depends on how bad the material is a 7 weeks wait is just silly

I am 5'10 and need a 14 or sometimes a 16 to get a bit of extra fabric for length. IYKWIM.

It is so hard to get daywear to fit when you are tall. Waists are always too high on dresses. I am watching with interest as I would love to wear dresses with tights and ankle boots too.

[juniperdewdrop]

This one's nice.

[Stylelostinlabour]

Maybe I should get the sewing machine out as there is a demand for dresses that don't tell you what colour knickers I'm wearing but not a Whistles prices.

I have boobs and long legs so sometime need a 16 too

Between us we must be able to find some?!?

That liner one would be good for work I think unless the front attracts attention to my gut?

I'm wearing http://www.matalan.co.uk/fcp/product/fashion-to-buy-online/-Dresses/-Floral-Print-Belted-Jersey-Dress/67871&resultsPerPage=100&attrList=Dept,brand this one at the moment, it'd much nicer on than in the picture. They have a different colourway too, and a bargain at £16

[KnitterInTheNW]

Oh, I'm a size 18/20, and it's clingy where you'd want it to be to not look like a sack of spuds, and extra fabric round the skirt but to house a multitude of sins!

(Thanks DS2 aged 14 months for that last post...)

On a roll now, I've also just got a couple from Mantaray in Debenhams - this one and another that's not on the website, they have quite a few others but they're a certain kind of print, exactly my style but not for everyone I'd guess :)

[NaokHoHoHo]

Watching with interest as I'd love to wear more dresses, but I can never seem to find anything with sleeves, or more than short sleeves. That's fine in summer but how do you not freeze to death in winter? It's january, I want to be warm! Is it just a matter of wearing things over them? What sort of things? Am a bit stylistically challenged...

[knitknack]

this arrived today from Great Plains (bargain!) and it's GORGEOUS - I'm so happy - I love dresses with pockets. (please bear in mind that I'm a redhead with brown eyes when dismissing colours! haha)

[juniperdewdrop]

I love that Great Plains one knitknack.

[SilverSixpence]

are you in London? there are some lovely ones in Anthropologie on sale at the moment. The website is good too, but saw nicer ones in store.

[Stylelostinlabour]

Never think to look at Matalan will have a look on website sadly not in London til the end of the month and I guess they will be all gone by then

[NewYearNewNagoo]

Fuck me the great plains site is annoying. Am I doing it wrong?

I got some nice dresses in the Dorothy Perkins sale yesterday :)

[BookFairy]

On the high street there's a range at Dorothy Perkins called Billie & Blossom that has lovely day dresses. I bought 2 recently in the sale!

Online: I've bought quite a few dresses from Ruby Rocks - v quirky prints in flattering shapes. They have their own website but also sell through Joy. They also have their own small shop in London on Great Portland Street, which I discovered by accident!

(I'm on my phone so apologies for the lack of links)

[juniperdewdrop]

Billie and Blossom for BookFairy. Hope that links properly as doesn't look as if it will?

[juniperdewdrop]

Good it did

[juniperdewdrop]

Joy.
