Jersey dress

[tiredandgrumpy]

I'm looking for a jersey summer dress. I picture something which is fitted, but not necessarily bodycon, knee length, easy wear, perhaps floral. I'm a size 8-10 but late 40s so it needs to be a bit more grown up than most of the flighty dresses I can find. I saw someone in a gorgeous one today and am kicking myself that I didn't go and ask where she bought it.

I'd be wearing it as an everyday dress, so no unnecessary frills, zips or anything fancy!

Has anyone seen one?

Have you looked at Boden? They have lots in different styles.

I’ve just discovered Weird Fish. Their Tallahassee jersey dress is great and sounds like what your looking for. It’s lovely quality.
I bought it on speck in a shop sale, then looked at the website where it was cheaper in their sale. I ordered a second one and another different style.

It sounds like you are describing a Boden or fat face dress

Problem with jersey is that unless it is lined it always clings and shows every wobble however slim you are!

i agree with Weird fish , I have a few of the Tallahassee dresses in different prints and they are so comfortable.

Boden. Their jersey is a bit thicker than many so washes and fits well.
Try several styles as they have different types of jersey for different dresses.

Def Boden. I like the phoebe dresses

The weird fish dresses are thicker as well

Boden Amelie dresses.

I like Brakeburn for florals.

Joules also...

Whilst the Boden dresses are suitable , they’re not always cotton. Viscose and elastine would be very hot in this weather.

Another vote for Boden, great quality and lots in sale for your size right now.

Lots of nice jersey dresses in sea salt. Usually quite patterned, but depends what floats your boat.

I have this one from M&S, bought in the sale recently:

Not floral, but the mustard yellow colour is actually really nice and I find the fit to be flattering. I'm a size 8-10 and bought the 8, which is plenty big enough

Thanks all. Some great suggestions. I think Weird Fish looking most promising so far.

Another vote for Boden, all their jersey dresses wash and wear brilliantly

I vote for Boden too. I bought my first 'Amelie' jersey dress on the advice of Mumsnetters and have been wearing the hell out of it. It's a cap-sleeve fit-and-flare with a ruched waistband and flowy knee-length skirt.

I'm 54 and at the pudgy end of size 12, but my Amelie makes me look so graceful.

One MNer told me she owned eight Amelies!

I like white stuff Jersey dresses but as mentioned previously , they do tend to cling to excess curves!

Have you thought to have a look at skater dresses ?there a lovely cut and not to clingy ebay have some lovely ones very cheap

Try mountain warehouse (I know, not the obvious place but worth a look)

I wouid definitely recommend White Stuff and Seasalt.

Agree Boden or possibly White Stuff, both usually have a good discount if you look.
