Every winter I dream of this dress...

[tethersend]

... but it never exists!

It should be:

Black

Midi length

Knitted- soft wool ideally

Not ribbed

Polo necked

Long sleeves

No splits in the skirt bit

Straight rather than flared skirt

Has anyone seen one? No. I don't think you have.

this one comes close to your requirements www.asos.com/jdy/jdy-long-sleeve-high-neck-knitted-dress/prd/8637216?clr=black&cid=12686

Sounds like this Whistles Juliet dress but it’s only available in grey or navy.

How about this? Whistles zip front black knit dress

I such a dress one winter, except mine had short sleeves. It was from Zara. It turned out to be very unflattering - particularly if I had been sitting for any length of time. It went baggy in all the wrong places and I looked like a sack of potatoes in it.

I love this dress and it's close to your brief but sadly it's not a knot it's jersey - that might prevent the stretching that a PP referred to though

Knit not knot !

That jigsaw dress is gorgeous, perspicacia

expensive

I don't like polo necks, but other than that I love this type of dress in winter. I have similar from Toast, next and even Sainsbury's TU (they have a polo neck one this year, but sadly not in black). The baggy effect mentioned by a PP shouldn't happen if it has some stretch - so ideally a wool blend is best.

acrylic but might do for now?

Forgotten I had posted this! Thanks all.

Typically, I LOVE the rick Owens one but no size 16 and eye-wateringly expensive

There are some good other suggestions, will check them out

OP I share your dream of this dress, as far as I can see, it’s pretty tricky to find! Bearing in mind you love ‘our dress’ I bought this one today and you might love it too! For the price it’s fabulous, so comfortable, flattering abs skims in all the right places! www.next.co.uk/g212048s2#198098

This one is ribbed but otherwise pretty close

There's a whole other thread now - someone's found the dress!
