Have you had a look at Popsy? All their dresses have pockets.

I've got this from Boden, but unfortunately it seems to be sold out in most sizes and colours. Because everyone wants dresses with sleeves and pockets! Make more!

Hush!

Kemi Telford dresses all have pockets (as do the skirts for that matter) and are gorgeous

KatharinaRosalie · 23/05/2020 19:31

Have you tried this place? I have several dresses from them, they have pockets and you can choose to add sleeves to any dress design www.eshakti.com/

@Zinnia I just checked out the Kemi website and brought myself a beautiful skirt. Thanks for the heads up x

Bertucci · 23/05/2020 20:01

I have this dress from Hush in both colours. It has pockets! I have pretty much lived in them.

Seasalt always have dresses with sleeves and pockets. Love them!

WisestIsShe · 23/05/2020 20:17

@wowfudge thanks for the popsy suggestion. I hadn't heard of them before but they've got some nice looking things.

CakeInMyFace · 23/05/2020 20:24

I second @Bertucci - I have that hush dress in the khaki and I love it!

wowfudge · 23/05/2020 20:25

WisestIsShe they were recommended on another thread on here a while ago. I just ordered a dress from them. I bought a jumpsuit a year ago which is really comfy - they do a petite fitting in some things.

StarlightLady · 24/05/2020 06:17

Try Joe Brown.

Littleelffriend · 24/05/2020 06:29

I bought from Popsy, it was so unflattering I sent it back.

Jacobieathan · 24/05/2020 07:47

Thanks everyone, some great suggestions (I’ve just ordered two dresses!)

That Hush dress would look like a
nightie on me - if you're tall and slim it'll be fine!

BikeRunSki · 24/05/2020 12:15

Yey @Mesmeri, Tiny Vikings is back!!!!

dudsville · 24/05/2020 12:40

VenusClapTrap · 24/05/2020 13:20

Kemi Telford had amazing prints, thanks for the tip!

sonicshoegazes · 24/05/2020 14:45

I've got several zuri dresses...expensive but amazing!

CovidicusRex · 24/05/2020 14:51

Sea salt and toast both do pockets on most of their dresses.
