Dresses to wear with tights and DMs -

10 replies

I'm looking for dresses to wear to work (casual, creative work environment) with thick black tights and DMs.

I want skater or tea dress style, with sleeves and knee length or just above. Unfortunately I'm 5'10, so a lot of dresses are just too short for work.

I also need them to be v neck, shirt dress style or low scoop neck as I have large breasts. Anything high neck looks incredibly matronly!

There are some lovely dresses at Topshop, but they're too short on me :(. The dresses at Oasis are all high neck. Boden are too frumpy...

Help!

ASOS tall range are good...Topshop have tall range online. Boohoo do tall also.
I'm not tall but sisters are, and that's where they get their similar style dresses from.

Dorothy perkins do tall. They used to do Jersey skater type dresses. New look tall too.
The horrid trend lately has been for high neck/half polo neck style.

Avoid Next. They don't seem to like big breasts (or anyone with any shape at all)Grin

I’ve just bought this, I was so surprised at how lovely it is on, I wore it with a vest underneath as I didn’t want to risk a peek of my bra Grin (teacher, not entirely appropriate in a classroom!) and it’s just so nice. I’m 5’8 so not as tall as you but there’s no danger of it being too short, even with the little split up the side as it’s small.

Ooh sorry, I’ve just read you wanted it shorter in length! Apologies, it’s not what you were looking for Blush

Placemarking as I also suffer from matronly big breasts! Grin

I own a lot of that kind of dress. I bought most of them on eBay as nice ones can be hard to find. I've had some success with new look , and was considering some I saw from fat face too. Topshop had amazing ones a few years back , they're popular on eBay , but worth the extra cash.

I've got a few Hell Bunny dresses (quite pricey for what they are but there's nearly always a sale on). There are some styles that are too long for me - I'm 5'6.

A bit longer than knee length but I’m your height and size, and these are just gorgeous www.hush-uk.com/kensington-shirt-dress-scatter-star-black-white/DRS176-001.html
