I've seen a couple around and quite like the look of them in either white (stupid idea with a toddler and weaning baby) or navy. Any other ideas, or am I a year behind the trend?

Auto correct fail. Title is supposed to read "anglaise".

Gap have one

midnightinmoscow · 04/04/2013 17:29

I have this from Gap.

Really lovely, but be warned, it's the first thing I've bought from Gap in a long while that comes up small.

I'm afraid I can't do links but I have seen a nice one on the all saints website, that looks lovely, not typical all saints IMHO.

TapselteerieO · 04/04/2013 20:18

Pier one with sleeves available in a lovely powder blue, black or white]] or sleeveless.

TheWoollybacksWife · 04/04/2013 20:28

Navy one from Fat Face

Or Fat Face again, this one available in either white or navy.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/04/2013 20:32

Love the Warehouse one but suspect it would look awful on me. The Gap one looks like the first nice thing Gap have stocked for ages.

MisterUdagawa · 04/04/2013 20:52

Agree re Gap dress. It is small and TERRIBLE on boobs, I so wanted to like it.

lurkingaround · 04/04/2013 23:07

Gap one is good. I thought it came up a bit big, size down maybe just one size (as opposed to the ten sizes you normally have to size down in Gap). Very flattering, sold out in navy in my size. Was lovely in navy. Yes Remus first nice thing in ages in gap.

ToastedTeacakes · 05/04/2013 00:20

love the Gap one, anyone familiar with sizing?

CardiCorgi · 05/04/2013 06:52

Ooh, thanks everyone, Toasted those links are good.
The gap one is my favourite so far although the M&S one also looks as though it could be good (or very frumpy on me if it fits wrong). I've also found some broderie anglaise fabric online, with the idea of taking the features I like best and making my own.

I tried the warehouse one and oh my lord my boobs in it - not good - not good at all.

The gap one didn't work on me - think the skirt was a bit too a line.

I love broderie anglaise and am always on the look out for a nice dress or skirt in that fabric.

MooMinCow · 05/04/2013 07:51

This sun dress from Tesco? Comes in a pretty lemon yellow too.

Gap have 20% off full price items today. Use GAPSTYLE.

ToastedTeacakes · 05/04/2013 09:20

MrsCB, so the skirt isn't straight, pencil fit? I wish they'd make t more obvious in model photo. Is the sizing ok would you say?

MrsCampbellBlack · 05/04/2013 09:22

I got the cotton pique patterned version of the gap one which is smaller sizing. I'd say the gap one is their normal sizing and I felt the skirt was quite a line particularly when viewed from behind.

MrsRogerSterling · 05/04/2013 12:00

I love this wrap one but the price is ridiculous...

GoingVerySlowlyMad · 05/04/2013 12:02

Uniqlo,Matalan and another Matalan. Loving the uniqlo one in navy, very tempted!

TapselteerieO · 05/04/2013 14:36

MrsRoger the emerald version of that is so lovely but a little too see through!

NewChoos · 05/04/2013 14:39

Love the gap dress - if only wasn't massive with bump.

TSSDNCOP · 05/04/2013 16:08

The Gap one is gorgeous.

How small does it come up?

ToastedTeacakes · 05/04/2013 16:24

Thanks MrsCB, it does look lovely though!

JumpHerWho · 05/04/2013 22:32

I love this Uniqlo one (not same as other Uniqlo link) need to try on I think, want it in navy.
