Dresses for work

I've been in winter clothes and discovered none of my lighter clothes fit. Jumper dresses are very forgiving!
I need black dresses in size 18. Preferably jersey if smart enough as more comfortable given the er.... "curves".
Any suggestions appreciated.
I bought a wrapover one which lovely but looks a bit like maternity wear.

Boden usually have a couple of black jersey dresses.

Where have you been getting the jumper dresses?

Jumper dresses from Cos and a couple Phase Eight. Nothing on there that really works for me at moment. Have also looked on John Lewis, M&S and Debenhams. Didn't think of Boden, will have a look thanks.

Does it have to be black? (It is a "uniform" colour)?
If not I'm an 18 and I order lots from sea salt they are amazing quality and the jersey is double weight so looks very smart

My last jumper dress from Cos shrank into child size. :(

Will look again at Phase Eight, thanks.

Annoying @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie. I have a couple of merino wool ones that have worn really well - bought last winter. Look like the long by one here but are the wool of the short one. (I don't know what the boiled merino is like)

Thanks @tiredmum2468 will check them out. Doesn't have to be black but I should probably be in a suit and hope I get away by blending in in plain black.
