Stylish, fitted dresses?

I need some new work dresses, but am struggling to find a style I like from my ‘usual suspect’ brands (Hobbs, Phase Eight, Jigsaw, LK Bennet).

Wondering if anyone knows of any online shops I might be missing? Where do you shop if you like more classic, fitted, ‘feminine’ styles rather than on-trend/edgy/androgynous or floral/ditsy/boho?!

A few points:

  • I don’t need to be ‘business formal’, more the smarter side of smart casual.
  • I’m early 40s, size 12-14, tall hourglass with a good waist but a bit of a c-section overhang lower belly - so nothing ‘bodycon’
  • I don’t like unstructured stuff like Cos or slouchy stuff like Hush. I need a bit of structure or at least a shape that flatters big breasts and accentuates my waist.
  • I am SO over generic jersey dresses. They’re making me feel like a frump. I’d like a new style...

Driving myself mad browsing online! There must be some magical place I can find a good selection of nice dresses?!

Great quality. Modern styles but always wearable for women over 40 (good hem lengths etc) Fast delivery in a beautiful box. Free returns and loads of money off codes.
