Sweater dresses

Has anyone seen any nice sweater dresses this season yet?
I do like them especially with woolly or opaque tights and boots for work
Last year got phase8 one, principles at Debenhams and a Hobbs one from an outlet store - not seen any I like this year at all
I have had to junk the phase8 one as quality was poor and split on stitching
Would love something in navy or blues as the others are predominantly grey and black

TKMaxx have had some nice ones (and some ghastly ones) including a few merino wool ones for a bargain price

I have this navy Next dress in black and khaki...

Oooh i love a jumper dress. Last year I got some really great ones at Mango. Haven't checked this year yet though - but might be worth a look.

Ooh not seen any but I love them! That gap one is a big clingy for me. My best one ever was Boden but the moths got itAngry.

Sadly I don't suit high necks and the Gap one might be a bit clingy but will try tkmaxx as there are 2 branches near me

I got some from [http://www.woolovers.com/cashmere-merino/womens/button-neck-jumper-dress.aspx?gender=w Woolovers] last year and they're fab. Nice fit and the cashmere/merino is really warm and cosy.

Sorry link fail. Here Woolovers

Never found one that didnt make me look pregnant. Such a shame as they look so snuggly. Sad

hellsbellsmelons · 29/09/2015 11:21

Apricot have some nice ones.
I have this one but they have loads if you look under 'tunics'

EmmaWoodlouse · 29/09/2015 11:25

I haven't been in there recently but Roman had some lovely ones last year - I bought one but it was a hard choice between that and two others.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 29/09/2015 11:41

I have the Gap one in black. Absolutely love it but yes you do have to like a bit of cling...

This is lovely quality and not too clingy www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/153014

I love sweater dresses but I always struggle with what to wear under them - the clingy ones are lovely but stick to tights terribly! Does anyone have a recommendation for a good slip that will keep me from having to spend the whole day tugging at my dress?

Laska5772 · 29/09/2015 20:56

seasalt have some nice ones

vindscreenviper · 29/09/2015 21:14

Oh vind I fear we are in for a revival of this kind of thing this winter.
Let's hope not but it's on the cards.

Friendofsadgirl · 30/09/2015 09:25
