dress over jeans yes or no?

[katzg]

dresses worn over jeans do we like or not?

if yes then which one?

i'm a size 14/16

NO! just choose! you either wanna wear a dress or you wanna wear trousers!

i hate it.

but then, i am rather anti-fashion...

I actually think it looks really good when done well.

I would just feel so......silly wearing a dress and jeans myself...like I couldn't make up my mind!!

hmm

i want to try it but am scared!

not for me - can't pull it off

but saw v stylish woman on bus with patterned shirt dress (bit like that 70s purple one) over smart black trews. Looked great! Not sure if bulk at waist of jeans (all those pockets beltloops etc) would help or hinder.

yes, but depends on the length, H&M have got some nice ones in at the moment

yes, wrap or shirt dress

h and M i have about 2 hours on friday morning when DD1 is at nursery!

I have taken to wearing a black shirt dress over skinny jeans. Also a white 3/4 sleeve top under the dress which is short sleeve. And white short string of chunky beads. Main prob is that I cannot wear a belt with the jeans because of bulk issue so they keep falling down. Dress is from New Look and is lightweight stretchy type fabric.

that sounds lovely

It's been done here before as well annie - just not by me!

I do feel quite a brave, trendy thing wearing it but bear in mind that I live in the sticks not like some of you London fashionista.

also try Zara coz they have some in as well i think

like this look

I find an easier version to wear for the less skinny minny like myself is some very fine trousers instead of jeans - less bulky.

I think it is older and frumpier folk who don't get this look!

i am not old OR frumpy! i just think it looks like you couldn't decide which to wear!

Well I'm old and doubtless frumpy, but I like it too, although have yet to try the combo myslef.

Friend was wearing wrap dress over jeans the other night - looked good. Didn't notice bulk aorund the middle or anything but she has got a very trim waist.

Am on look out for nice wrap dress to do same. Not that I'm COPYING, you understand

Loads in shops at moment frayedknow

its very trinny and suzannah tho sorry

Love this look! I wear a military style shirt dress, khaki colour. Can wear wedge sandals or flat plimmys. I am a size 12 and dont wear skinny winny jeans, (just not baggy jeans).

Debenhams have some great shirt dresses at the moment.

hmm well i just want to look nice when i go and see take that! i'm fed up of feeling frumpy and old (i'm only 28) i have yet to shift the weight i put on when pg with number 2 and none of my clothes fit me properly!

i will report back after my shopping trip on friday

I just wanted to get some wear out of my dress and it has been too freezing to wear it without! Hence also the white top under the dress. Have not non-jeans trousers that I would deem suitable.

Also good at hiding 'baby jelly belly'!

ah mum1st - thats what i was hoping! don't want to wear my belly grabber knickers - i wanna dance!
