Any jersey or sweater dress recommendations this season?

[upsidedown2017]

I’m looking for a few ‘chuck on and go’ dresses. Any recommendations for dresses you might have bought recently?

Whistles knitted dresses are. v good.

The Hush Ivy dress is lovely. Size down though!

I'm looking too.

Some of these dresses are so shapeless! I'm surprised the Ivy is so popular, it doesn't seem to have any shape.

Has anyone seen anything around that's a bit more fitted? No flowery prints!

I have the last year’s version of the Cos dress linked by Lucked on the previous page. Yes I agree, it looks completely shapeless but actually some how or other it’s surprisingly flattering, even on my pear shape. And it’s cosy. Definitely worth a try.

Thanks, I do like Cos so might have a look.

Any other recommendations please?

I’ve been searching for nice casual dresses for ages and can’t find anything that’s quite right. Anyone found a good one yet??

I bought a knitted dress in Lidl a couple of weeks ago. Straight but not tight fitting, scoop neck, front pockets, around knee length. About £8!!!! I haven’t worn or washed it yet though .......

apples I got that one too! It's actually really nice, a simple dress with a flattering shape. Such a bargain.

I saw the Phse Eight navy v neck one I've just linked to - it was very nice on but a bit too short for me unfortunately (I have knees that are best hidden away!!)

I’ve been eyeing the Hush Tara and Ivy dresses. I’m a 5”2 pretty standard size 12, was thinking I’d be a medium does that sound right?

Also like the Boden Penny dress

paper, I'm a 14-16, and need a large in the Tara, so medium is probably right in that. I'd go smaller in the Ivy though. I'm wearing the medium, and it's a slouchy, loose fit.

Thanks Cherries good to know

I really like the Phase Eight one thanks nearly Just wondering if it will suit me, I’m an inverted triangle with wider shoulders than hips.

I bought a lovely berry skater dress/ tunic in Primark, it looks far more expensive that was. Really comfy too

Have you looked at Whistles?

I bought some from hollister, can’t do links but they’re really flattering and material is lovely and soft.

V neck skater style dresses with long sleeve, I bought one in a cranberry sort of colour and one in a lovely dark green.

Ooohh, I like the cable knit dress from Hollister frank:

I'm not sure if it will flatter big boobs though?

Is this the one you mean frank? Is it jersey or knitted? Looks nice.

Yes i liked the look of that one too but had the same thought, in a 36 gg cup and necklines that high make me look a bit too matronly!

The second link is the one I mean it’s not knitted but definitely more the kind of material you would have in a light sweater, very soft and warm but not too thick.

It’s a low ish neckline which I don’t mind as it’s flattering but Could be too low for some.

I'm in the US and there is this famously weird catalogue called J Peterman that has sketches and whimsical descriptions. They have a merino dress that I wear constantly in winter and have in 2 colors. Very work appropriate, cosy, comes down to knee, looks great with boots. www.jpeterman.com/item/wdr-2895/105/lc-the-million-mile-dress
