A challenge: I'm going to give you a rubbish description of a dress

... I fell in love with on a woman across the road today.

The easy bits:

  • navy jersey
  • knee length

    Not so easy:
  • it had some unusual draping going on. It looked as though the bottom of the front of the dress had been picked up and knotted at the bustline. The hem was straight though, so I think that there must have been masses of extra material to allow for the bit tied to the bustline.

    It looked very cool and modern but easy to wear.

    Googling navy jersey knot dress has got me NOWHERE. I need to call in the big guns....

It's not assymetric, the draping runs from the centre of the bottom hem.

Why didn't I just ask her?!?!

Something like this but blue? It could be an old dress.

Ah, Twirlyhot, yes - that kind of thing. Well done! The jersey looked lovely and heavy though.

Like this one? it's a maternity one which I like

If it is like this - will link a couple I've seen on eBay which are similar but not maternity ( and also not £139!)

I was thinking phase eight too. I had a look earlier though and couldn't find anything. Off to look again.

The dresses you can tie in different ways are "twobirds" dresses I think.

It could be the Butter by Nadia wrap dress, that's convertible into lots of different shapes.

Could it be the Emami dress? It's one of those dresses that can be worn in several ways.
You'll find loads of pictures of it on google.
