I've been wearing jumper dresses since the 80s, but they seem pretty few and far between these days. Anybody seen any nice ones?

I bought a really lovely one in tkmaxx a few weeks ago. Dark grey with small embellishments on the shoulders

NinonDeLenclos · 10/12/2017 12:44

I bought this Seasalt one which is very nice.

Celtic and Co do this in different colours and this

The White Company have some nice ones. I'm thinking about this one for work (if it ever gets reduced in the sales). www.thewhitecompany.com/Wool-Horizontal-Rib-Dress/p/WOCRD?swatch=Mid+Grey+Marl

I bought a nice on in Sainsburys of all places the other week. Roll neck, quite long (mid calf) and comes in green or grey.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/12/2017 14:04

Thank you.

I want it to be short. I don't wear blue, so that rules out pretty mch everything from Seasalt. The White Company ones are lovely, but generally hand wash, which I certainly cba with. Celtic ones are lovely but too £££.

How short? I'm coveting this one but I think sadly it will be much too long on me (I'm only 5' 1"). Shame as usually finisterre stuff fits me nicely.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/12/2017 14:33

That's lovely, but probably too long as I am also a hobbit. Too £££ as well. Don't really want to pay more than £60 each, as I'd like a couple.

I'm looking for some too. I've been looking at pure cashmere but I think I should probably keep my options open.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/12/2017 14:42

Ideally I'd like a wool and cotton mix.

I used not to wear blue but actually I've got a couple of blue jumper dresses now and they look nice. The Seasalt one is quite short - they call it a tunic - so it's good if you're petite. It may go into the sale.

LostMyBaubles · 10/12/2017 14:48

I've seen some in Primark last week

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/12/2017 14:50

Thanks. I definitely don't do blue though! Don't do Primark either.

Sorry - am bloody awkward. Blush

Fat Face have a couple

Pinkvici22 · 10/12/2017 14:52

I’ve got a lovely one from All Saints (black, lovely quality and slightly quirky cut out on one shoulder) and quite a nice one from Boohoo via ASOS (red, plain, roll neck...not convinced it’ll wash well).

MrsMS · 10/12/2017 14:52

Baukjen Alicia Turtleneck dress.

CountFosco · 10/12/2017 15:18

Anything good in COS?

SoupDragon · 10/12/2017 15:32

Esprit has a "knit dresses" section.

MiraB · 10/12/2017 15:41

How about Monsoon OP ? I got a couple of good ones in the December sales last year. They also have upto 30% of knitwear on right now ?
This one seems pretty - uk.monsoon.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/mon_1,mon_1.2/3427130108

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/12/2017 15:46

I like this Fat Face one, but not in either of those colours, unfortunately.

This is a good colour but wrong shape.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/12/2017 15:47

Ooh yes - I like that Monsoon one. :)

Am I allowed to snigger at "Hobbit"? Because I'm v short and have hairy toes too!
I saw some burgundy ones in next yesterday as I walked through to use the escalator, but cannot vouch for materials as being next, likely polyester/wool mix. Nice colour though.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/12/2017 17:13

I really want a burgundy one. Saw a gorgeous one in John Lewis but not in my size and have completely forgotten what brand it was.

I love a jumper dresses! I just got a couple of nice ones from Monsoon...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/12/2017 17:27

The Oasis one is nice, but acrylic. Will go and try some on in Monsoon, definitely.
