Where to find a - Long/calf length, long sleeve rib sweater dress??

I have a scoop neck one in black, it's sort of a full length skinny rib sweater & I could happily live in it, especially in this weather as its great with thick tight & chunky boots & belt, but will dress up or down & is just comfortable, so I really want to find more that are similar, but so far I can't :( & I can't even remember where I bought this one, though I think probably TK Max a few years ago, so I'm out of luck.

SOOooooo I was wondering if anyone would have a clue where I might find something similar, I don't mind if its V, Scoop or round neck, don't mind if is ankle or calf length & would be happy if it were, black, blue, red, purple or green, but not light colours such as cream or pale colours, & preferably not too expensive :)

Has anyone spotted anything like this ??

TIA :)

What about this dress,www.magicweddingdress.com/blue-strapeless-short-cocktail-dress-cd06-p-165/. With no sleeve, maybe that's what you need!

Define Italy not that henders - shivers at the thought...

Thanks sue I just looked & sadly no long ones - which is generally the problem I'm having - easy to find above the knee sweater dresses, not easy to find longer ones :(

Just wanted to let you know that I spotted a long (probably calf length) sweater dress in Hobbs the other day. It was lovely and soft as it was a cashmere blend, but fairly pricey at £110. Worth a look if you have the budget though as it was pretty much what you have described.

This from Asos?

Oops sorry it is out of stock, but is that the style?

rockinhippy · 28/01/2013 10:55

Taps thank you, that is pretty much exactly it, the one I have is possibly a bit thicker as its ribbed, but that one would do just fine - I will keep an eye in case they get more in :)

thanks mycat - I will go & have a look at that, it is more than I was hoping for, but if it looks like it might wash & wear well then I might just have to treat myself, as I live in the one I have when its cold, so if it will last, it could be an investment - I have actually seen a couple of other designer brand ones - even more expensive than Hobbs one £500 & another £300, so I suppose in comparison its not so bad.

I have managed to find some cloth online in green, again not cheap but I've just got my swatch in the post & its good, so going to make one too

thanks again :)

rockinhappy, I bought two sweater dresses from hobbs this season. The Gracie MULTI-18&refpage=promotions/sale-highlights and the IVORY-10&refpage=search/results Peggy and both worked quite well. No bobbles etc, but I think that's because I dry clean them but otherwise would recommend them.

Another possibility?

TapselteerieO · 28/01/2013 14:19

Benetton and 600 + here though obviously they won't all be midi length.
