I've got a corduroy pinafore dress that I'm cyrrently wearing to death.

I'm looking for heavy material that won't cling to my big belly. Any recommendations pretty please??

This one! I have the tall version but there’s a not tall one. It’s also in black with the floral pattern but not in tall; the tall is still quite short on me so I haven’t gone for it.

It’s from New Look and cost me £20. Think it’ll be worn to death!

I like that fruity! I'm short but big boobed so I often get tall to compensate!

I saw some M&S dresses with thicker fabric than usual. Other than that, maybe a thick woolly number which is over sized?

Where's your pinafore dress from OP? I've been looking for one!

PlaymobilPirate · 20/10/2018 18:17

Warden. I love oversize but it just makes me look fat and dumpy (mainly cos I'm fat and dumpy!)

Dizzy it's just from Tesco. I get loads of compliments though!

I have this on right now-still in cropped leggings and loafers as it’s been lovely today but I bought it
With tights and boots in mind. I predict the world being sick of me wearing it Grin

It wouldn’t be the first time I’d forgotten the picture! Debenhams have a pretty decent selection

TheFairyCaravan · 20/10/2018 18:35

I ordered This one from Uniqlo this morning in the grey, dark grey and red.

Bluebiscuits · 20/10/2018 18:44

I ordered the lena cord shirt dress from fat face this morning which I have high hopes for!

Doobydoo · 20/10/2018 18:47

Seasalt are fab...The dresses have pockets and the cord lined and denim ones are really nice. I wear mine lots and lots.

WeeM · 20/10/2018 23:29

Elsie’s attic have a couple I have my eye on...

They keep popping up on my sponsored ads and winking at me!

I've bought a couple of bits and bobs from Joe Browns to wear with tights and boots. Also have a tartan kilt from Amazon which is great and very reasonably priced.

GrimDamnFanjo · 21/10/2018 00:27

I have a cord and a heavy cotton tunic style from Seasalt plus another more fit and flare style.

fruityb · 21/10/2018 08:18

Elsie’s attic dresses are gorge there!

SpeckledyHen · 21/10/2018 08:27

Watto could you please help me with Joe Browns sizing as I have no bought from them ? Thank you

Watto1 · 21/10/2018 20:57

Sorry, only just seen the above post. Joe Brown's sizing is usually pretty much spot on. I did buy a jumper last year which was massive though! The returns policy is great, so you can easily return or exchange if necessary.

SpeckledyHen · 21/10/2018 21:01

Thank you very much for your reply Wotto . I have erred on the side of caution and sized up as the top of the dress I sent fitted . Good to know returns are easy.

phoolani · 21/10/2018 21:19

Not quite going to be wearing it yet, but bought this today

I have two dresses I wear a lot at the moment, one is the Thurwell from Joules (will look for links) and one a denim tunic type one with 3/4 sleeves from Seasalt.

Oldraver · 22/10/2018 09:59

I have loads of Joe Browns and yes to the sizing being good even if sometimes the quality is dodgy

They currently have a cord pinafore I have been eying up...especially as it is cut high under the arms...the last one I have my boobs kept escaping the bib

fruityb · 22/10/2018 12:14

Joe Browns is nice but as above the quality can be a little shonky in all honesty. I bought a dress that was little more than a t shirt when it arrived! I am tall but had higher expectations than that.
