Woolovers jumper dress

Just a recommendation really. Ordered this in purple (blueberry) and it is lovely and snuggly and soft and fits nicely. And not too frumpy either, which was my main fear! Wish I could afford all the colours.

That does look lovely. What size did you go for? (I'm a 12 ish)

Medal · 05/11/2013 09:42

I am a short 8-10 and I went for a S. The nice thing about it is it nips you in a bit at the waist, which I need!

Perhaps a M Laundry?

I am wearing that right now (in pepper). V nice. I'm a size 18 and wearing the xl.

Medal · 05/11/2013 09:45

Grin me too, it is good isn't it Moist, just hope it washes well. I like the pepper colour.

It is nice. V soft and the shape is good. And it covers my enormous arse.

vicarlady · 05/11/2013 09:49

I have the blue. I'm a 14 and bought the medium. It is lovely .

SpookyRestingFace · 05/11/2013 10:02

Damn it. I knew when I clicked on this that would be the one you were on about. I've had it in my basket but was dithering as have spent waaaay too much lately.

Damn you Grin

Medal · 05/11/2013 10:22

Get it, you will hopefully get loads of wear out of it. Sorry Grin

Shouldn't have clicked Grin that's lovely...how long is it on you (short-arse here too)?

Medal · 05/11/2013 10:37

I'm 5ft3 and it sits on my knees. Not short, but not too long either.

Ooh I am tempted, but I'm unsure about which colour. The purple looks very bright...

Medal · 05/11/2013 13:28

I don't often wear bright colours and I don't feel as though this is too bright.

LegsForever · 05/11/2013 13:31

I am 5'9" and am wondering if it might be a bit short. Anyone tall got one and can reassure me?

MOIST · 05/11/2013 14:07

5'7 and it reaches mid thigh. I wear it with jeans. More a tunic than dress.

LegsForever · 05/11/2013 16:48

Thanks Moist, I thought it might be. Probably won't stop me buying one mind!

polyhymnia · 05/11/2013 17:20

Very nice. Would certainly be a tunic on me. It sounds as if their sizing is pretty true - is that right?

Medal · 05/11/2013 17:28

For the dress the sizing seems true. Their jumpers are generous though.

Seems like it would be nice with jeans/leggings for taller ladies.

I am still dithering about this dress. Does it wash well? I can only deal with v v low maintenance Grin

Sparklegeek · 06/11/2013 20:48

I'm 5 ft 8 or 9 & it's a dress on me! I have the sea green & wear with thick navy tights for work. And I'm a 12 & the medium is fine.

Worried123456 · 06/11/2013 21:43

It doesn't need ironing, does it?

Also- does it cling and make arses look huuuuge!?

Chocolateteabag · 07/11/2013 07:39

Do all the buttons open on the placket? Ie could I breast feed wearing it?

Very tempted to get it for my post pg attire, but need to be practical

Naicecuppatea · 07/11/2013 16:14

The buttons do open and go quite low so I tentatively imagine you can breastfeed with it.

I haven't washed or ironed it yet, so don't know, sorry! I have just bought some Woolite stuff to wash it in, it is machine washable.

It doesn't cling in the wrong areas but gives you a bit of a waist.

Bunbaker · 07/11/2013 18:34

I like that dress.

I have this Bertie cable knit dress - the second one in at the top. The description is wrong as it is cotton not acrylic and I have worn it this week and washed it with no problem.

Chocolateteabag · 07/11/2013 20:47

Thanks naice
