Where can I find a nice, casual dress with normal sleeves and decent hemline?

[CarbyDiem]

An everyday sort of dress. Knee length-ish. No flappy sleeves. No flouncy bits around the neck. Or cold shoulders.
Not too expensive but not stretchy out of shape cheap either.

Nomads.

That looks nice stuff.

It is. All fair trade too!!

I like the ones in Fatface at the moment.

I recently bought the joules daylia dress in navy (sorry can't link in phone). Really flattering, warm and seems good quality too. Easy to dress up or down. I wear it with coloured opaques and brogues.

I've bought this, I like it. It is very oversized though.

Babytalkobsession - is your dress as short as it looks on the model? It looks lovely but I'd need it knee length for work.

Just checking some of these out. Dresses with normal sleeves are definitely something I'm after.

Babytalk. That's nice but too short. I'm old and fat and have old fat legs that need coverage.

Why don't you check on Amazon or Ebay. They've got nice stuff at affordable rate.

The Fat face dress is nice! If I was size 12 still I'd buy that. Don't think it'd suit me as size 16 though :(

Babytalkobsession that's gorgeous. I've been looking for a floral dress in cotton for ages and I think you've found it for me!9 unlike the others I'm hoping it's short!

Nope not too short at all, I'm 5'8'' and it's just above knee at front and longer at the back. There's a pic on the website that shows the shape at the back.

I'm a 12 and it is big, still deciding whether to downsize for a 10 or keep the 12 for seasonal growing room

Oh yay! I'm going to order it. Thank you
