I really want one and there are loads around at the moment but they are all high/ polo necked. Not very flattering on the big of nork Sad
In my head there is the perfect dress in navy or grey, v-necked, long-sleeved, knee/midi length in a fine gauge knit that is quite fitted (so doesn't hang off the boobs and make me look pregnant). Sadly no designers seem to have had quite the same vision. Or have I missed anything?

I want it too!

Sorry, can't help, but shamelessly marking my place!

I got a v neck, fit and flare,long sleeved black ribbed knitted dress from asda last year. It was surprisingly flattering. My sil even asked if it was monsoon. I wore it loads over the festive season as it was.so easy to wear and dress up or down. Sadly I can't wear it this year as I'm pregnant. Hope you manage to find one to suit you.

I like round or v necked too.

These aren't V but at least not high.

Got a nice one from forever 21 of all places

I've been trying to find v/low-necked jumper dresses too. Impossible task...
I'm quite short as well so don't want anything too long as it'll swamp me. Even more impossible

Blodss · 19/11/2015 12:27

Kramp do you know how long the White Stuff ones are? There dresses always come up above the knee on me

Blodss · 19/11/2015 12:28

"Their"

Blodss
If you scroll through the photos, they have a full length photo of the model, and the hem is on/skimming above her knee
I would guess that she is 5'9"+, so if you are shorter than that, it will be on/below the knee

Orangeanddemons · 19/11/2015 13:07

I discoveredthis in Next. A shop I usually hate and loathe. It has side splits though which don't show in the photo.

Blodss · 19/11/2015 13:20

Thanks Spare too short for me

MumOfTheMoment · 19/11/2015 13:33

I have this from Fat Face. I absolutely love it. It isn't fitted but is nicely slim fitting on me. I am 5'9" size 12 with 32f boobs and the size 12 is perfect. I wear it with leggings

I have it in grey but would love all the colours.

chapthedoor · 19/11/2015 22:02

I got a lower round neck one from Primark last year. Might be worth checking ? Also Sainsburys had V neck ones when I was in recently.

CointreauVersial · 19/11/2015 22:09

I just bought a stunning navy blue Jaeger one.....from a charity shop.

Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to next week's cold weather so I can wear it?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/11/2015 22:24

Where have you seen polo neck ones? I fancy one!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/11/2015 22:26

Grey v neck but expensive

kalidasa · 19/11/2015 22:28

Hobbs have one in dark green, V neck.

SquidTableau · 19/11/2015 22:45

Watching with interest, I have the perfect v neck, flattering black knit jumper dress but it came from BHS (!) 6 odd years ago and I live in fear that it will become to tatty to wear - but I've never found a replacement that is anywhere near as nice!

Blodss · 20/11/2015 10:48

There are some in Debenhams and Next and Marks has polo Neva and normal necks

Blodss · 20/11/2015 10:48

Necks

Lucymatilde · 20/11/2015 11:06

Being tall I got a nice navy blue V neck from Long Tall Sally

ChocolateIsNotSleep · 23/11/2015 15:33

Ooh thanks all, sorry had such a busy week last week I completely forgot I'd posted this! Blush

I've tried the white company one (in desperation!) and didn't like the fit, it was sort of baggy around the middle which is not a good look on me! The Next one could be possible though, I'll see if they have it in locally to try. I hadn't seen any in my Sainsburys but will look out next time I go in. I had a knitted dress years ago from Sainsburys and loved it!

If you look, there are a few 20% plus free del codes around.

ShmooBooMoo · 23/11/2015 15:40

Oops, not v neck, sorry.

Twinklestein · 23/11/2015 18:06

I've just bought this on Yoox and its gorgeous.

It's cashmere, wool & elastene so it's stretchy and really soft. Very figure hugging. Comes up quite small. I'm an 8 and the 10 fits fine. I got the grey and black too.

Other ideas: Celtic Sheepskin

If you'd compromise on a round neck: Celtic Sheepskin 2
