In burgundy I was thinking

I really want this one

But it's £70 compared to £22 for the next one and so can't really justify it.

I actually prefer the next one. I find the colours on the Joules one a bit messy.

I like the Joules one - it's the kind of thing I wear with thick tights and boots in the winter. The Next one is nice too though

The Joules one is lovely.

The Next one is really not. Looks like something Deirdre Barlow would wear.

Yes I was thinking thick tights and boots with either.

Deirdre Barlow? Really?!? My bank was just about to breathe a sigh of relief

LOLz at Deirdre Barlow.

The Joules one is way nicer.

...although Deirdre was once known as 'sexy specs'. So she must have had something going on...

Is it £48 nicer though?

I much prefer the Next one. The colours and stripes in the Jules one leave me cold. Just dont buy it too tight, as these dresses can be so unforgiving.

Don't like the Joules one. Suspect the other would be nasty fabric though. And turtle necks not easy to wear.

YY - expect Next one flatters to deceive, material would be rank at that price. But Joules one is a bit mumsy. Move on!

Mumsy and mumsy

I think they are both horrible-sorry op.

The Next one is unlikely to be good quality - it may not wash well. Which does count in a jumper dress.

My 2 yo dd would like the Joules one. The combination of plain top and horizontal sleeves would make me look massive. The next one will be cheap and nasty and sweaty.

They both look a bit warm, and like there's nothing you could do to be les warm if you were to find yourself in a warm shop or a warm house.

They are very different dresses do hard to compare. I would assume the next one couldn't possibly be great quality, however I've read reviews of other joules sweaters being very Bobble prone! Get both and wear the heck out of them this winter!

The next one is lovely in the picture but I've a feeling it might look like a sack after a few hours wear.

Much prefer the Next one. Joules - bloody awful bright stripes, v unflattering and unstylish. It would be fine if you were 7.

Next stuff is never very good quality though...
