Help - jersey dress for everyday wear

[NewPantsforaNewYear]

I seem to have suddenly reached that 'nothing to wear' stage. (Could have been too many mince pies)

I'd really like another dress similar to this one I have from Mistral (which is about the only thing that fits at the moment).

I'd like something under £40, in a mainly cotton jersey, in a size 16. This is a slightly A line shift dress. I'm a definite pear, so nothing too clingy.

Can anyone help?

I'm shopping tomorrow so high st stores please, or something I can get online.

I couldn't find anything in the shops. Has anyone seen anything online?

Have a look at Baukjen and Great Plains both have sales at the mo. phase 8 worth a look too and monsoon?

Also Debenhams Mantaray do good jersey dresses in cotton.

Another for Mantaray. I love their dresses though they do come up a little big on me

Great suggestions. Thanks.

Baukjen is too clingy for me but all the others have been good for me in the past. Unfortunately, I've had a look through what there is online and I can't see anything.

I've reached the trawling through ebay stage but nothing is jumping out at me there either.

It looks as if it'll have to be dog-walking jeans or evening wear until I lose some weight again.

Have you tried white stuff? They often have patterned dresses in that style

Yes, tried White Stuff too, in store and online. I did see one dress I quite liked but they only had an 8 and I can't see it online.

What about Seasalt?

Esprit worth a look.

Had a quick skim of Seasalt but will have a proper look.

Esprit is a good call. Never think of them but have had a couple of nice things from there in the past.
Thanks everyone!

A mmetter on another S&B thread suggested this www.jdclondon.com/all_dresses.html

I've not heard of those Weebles. They're a bit more than I want to spend at the moment but will remember them for when I'm feeling a little more trim.

How about Uniqlo? www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/clothing/uq/dressesandtunics/women/

How about Amazon OP? It's important to read the reviews to make a choice re:size and quality but i have got some lovely bits and pieces which have survived wash after wash for £20 or under. Loads of shapes, sizes and prices here.

Oh more good ideas. I'll have a look at both of those too. Thanks.

I'd second Seasalt, but for something of a slightly different style, try Jaeger Outlet. they do quite a few jersey dresses and should have size 16s. it's good quality and looks a bit different from some of the more high street stuff.

Zalando have a fair few.

I have this one from boden. I didn't want to like it and planned to return it but it is so flattering and comfy. I'm a size 14-16 and also pear shaped

I have one from Glamour Empire - in Laiste's link to the amazon page. It fits nicely and doesnt make me look pregnant (some in that shape do) but its viscose, not sure if you want that.

Warning on Amazon I bought a cheap but OK dress but they removed my review because I pointed out it was a different shape to the one in the picture

This Boden one

I love that last dress! It has pockets; I love dresses with pockets!

Some of the Joe Brown dresses and long tunic tops are ace..and there's a sale on top!!!

Thanks to everyone for their recommendations. I feel like I've looked at every possible jersey dress, couldn't find quite what I was after (or at a price I could afford) and was beginning to think I'd have to wait until all the new spring stock arrived.

However, I spotted this in Sainsbury's yesterday and I'm delighted with it. It's really soft, easy to wear, has pockets and was only £18.

I see online it says it's a top but I'm a short-arse and I bought it in a size 20, as I didn't want anything at all clingy, so it comes to 2-3 inches above my knee. So pleased with it; I put it on as soon as I got home.

(It is a LOT nicer than it looks in that photo!)

I'll check out these suggestions OP.
Thank you
