[ElizabethHoover]

for vintage mumsnetters ONLY who understand the raison d'etre of a school run dress.

( or too short? would have to try, model presumably amazonian)

AND ITS COTTON

That is a damn good find. How do you think it would look on someone 5 foot 1? The top half looks long.

It's nice - would look bloody awful on me though, sadly.

that dress, whilst lovely and perhaps an immediate purchase is...I suggest, a PERFECT HOLIDAY dress

I am 5 foot and apple shaped and it works well on me. Highlights bottom and legs and disguises slightly problematic tummy area.

Sizing generous. Enjoy10 may get 10% off.

Based on this thread yesterday, i went and bought this dress today it looks great. I'm 5FT

denim dress

Nice dress MrsCB. Wouldn't suit me I fear.

Really like the jackay. Perfect for summer. 10-12 a medium?

Jacket is nice too - would also look bloody awful on me. I need cropped.

I like the Hush jacket. They did the same last year I think. Didn't order it. Might have to scratch that itch this year.

lurking that is indeed a fab jacket.

Thank you for the link to the red herring dress. I have ordered it. I really hope it fits as it would be the kind of dress I would get good mileage out of

I am toying over that hush dress too

Those collarless jackets make me look like the wife of the Tory candidate for west Berkshire

Jersey Blazers terrible on me Gloria Hunniford Am going to live in zara cropped one I think just can't find another

Hush one is lovely but only worn like the model Anything too smart and yes Tory wife territory Love the hush dress but had a similar baujken one which I ebayed

I think it's also collarless gives me a shelf bosom.
Noddy you're scarred by hunniford. Wish jackets CAN you wear?

Collarless is my best collar.
Yy noddy, Hush jacket thing only to be worn casually. I'd feel all trussed up worn too smart. you've made me look at it again and my love may have lessened...

I think its all the blazers in ice cream colours Hideous imo I have found very few that work! Plain and dark best lol Prefer coats

I've dipped in and out of this thread, but am having trouble following it as I'm on holidays in oz

I've bought this dress and it is a brill school run dress. I've been wearing it here and it is really comfortable. When chilly, I've put it on with black leggings and black nikes, black flip flops when hit.

I've had the cos dress first linked with the v-back and it is similar to that. However, that beautiful cos dress is buttoned at the back. For the cos dress to look decent on me (I'm blessed with an apple shape AND a big bum!), and it's a smaller size. So I've broken a button hole bending over and moving in the dress

The zip is a blessing and a curse. I've just finished breast feeding dd 3yo, and she misses it and is obsessed with the access!

Blonde at work looks amazing in ice cream colours. I am good in pale ice blue and pink but not that fleshy kind of pink

I don't suit those colours thats probably it and I like structure in a jacket. Lots of blondes like those colours

Atterley Rd has some nice sale things atm

very happy my children get picked up in a taxi! how can you be bothered with the worry of what to wear on a school run?? Is it a competition or something?

Nobody bothers at our school gate
I like nice clothes so i bother but im not worried what i wear to pick my kids up from school tbh. Everyone here is very 'ordinary'

No one ever bothered at my ds school either but may be a new thing as he is 20!

I love thatHush jacket, it's on my wishlist but only when reduced (and I'm not a pregnant whale).

Not keen on the Hush dress as it looks very flimsy - this one says it's double fabric for the skirt bit and looks a bit more substantial, it's the only other Hush lust I have atm.
