A dress for the office

[Bunbaker]

I would like a smart summer dress for work and am getting so frustrated at not being able to find anything suitable. Everything I have seen is either too short, a shift dress, too low cut or just plain unsuitable for work.

My requirements are:
Knee length
Not low cut
Not shift dress (I am too pear shaped to wear one)
Short sleeves
Flared bottom half

I am 5'7" slim, small busted with a too large backside. (Sounds lovely )

this is nice especially with a Debenhams 20% off event !

Ooh I love that sarhara rose dress that remus linked last. It doesn't look low cut at all?

I looked in Laura Ashley the other day and didn't see that dress as I would have tried it on. I didn't see that Jasper Conran one either as I like it as well.

Just received my M and Co dress today, and it is a perfect fit! DD even said it looked better on me than on the model

Thank you WickedWitch. It isn't cotton, but it fits so well and looks so nice that I am keeping it. They didn't have any navy ones left so I got the purple one. Fortunately purple is one of my best colours.

I just need something to go over it to counteract the stupidly fierce air conditioning we have at work. Any suggestions anyone? This is the dress

Glad you're liking the dress and that you've already had such a lovely compliment about it. Purple sounds great. I just wear a black cardi over my royal blue one when I'm cold. That plus silver jewellery seems to go well, but hopefully others will have more creative ideas?
