Casual day dresses for A/W 2018

What casual day dresses are you wearing this season, bonus marks if they can be worn with Dr Martens? Extra brownie points if they are made out of non-polyester materials. Oh and a gold star if you post a link. TIA.

I’ve got my eye on this Jersey number but can’t afford the price, so hoping to catch it in a sale. I need aline for my capacious hips.

I like that but £65 is crazy!

Boden jersey does last tbf, but £65 is a bit steep!

SergeantPfeffer · 22/09/2018 14:02

I like this one from Sosandar as well, but again ££!

I find a lot of the cheaper brands aimed at the younger market make their dresses far too short and far too clingy for me, so I stick with the mid price brands and wait for the sales.

I like this - and it has pockets Smile

I have this - I don't know how much it is in £ but won't be hugely expensive. I plan to wear it with cowboy boots, long boots and my DMs 😊

I just bought the Hush Emmanuelle dress. I think its really nice for day time

The Boden dress is reduced to £39 in the sale now. Quite tempted...!

SergeantPfeffer · 23/09/2018 12:10

Me too!

OneThingAndThenTheNext · 23/09/2018 12:26

I’ve just bought the Boden dress 🙈

SergeantPfeffer · 23/09/2018 13:18

You may not be alone in this Wink

I’ve got the sosander dress @SergeantPfeffer. It’s absolutely gorgeous and well worth the money

Playmobilpeacock · 23/09/2018 13:27

Not bad for £22 and looks good with tights and boots.

SergeantPfeffer · 23/09/2018 13:59

Ooh, that’s good to know about sosandar. What is their sizing like?

Winkybum · 23/09/2018 14:13

That first one is down to £39!

Winkybum · 23/09/2018 14:14

Oops! Too late to bring new news lol.

I've just ordered this in a nod to the animal print fashion. I think it will work well with black tights and boots.

Watching this thread.

It's the shoes I struggle with, with air/winter dresses

Flatasapancakenow · 23/09/2018 15:11

Also watching!

Gumps · 23/09/2018 15:19

Shoes are always the issue. Any kind of pump is a no on me and I can't bring myself to wear brogues or loafers.
I like chelsea style boots as they are easy to wear. I also have a pair of Ash boots which dip at the front to make my short legs look longer.
