Stuck in a bit of a jeans rut at the moment due to crap weather, young DCs, WFH. Pre kids I used to wear loads of dresses but I can't find any I like in the shops. Please lovely mumsnetters share a link to the last casual dress you bought and give me some inspiration!

This www.hush-uk.com/lara-jersey-midi-dress-leopard-mark-green/002543-3543.html before it was on sale and a lovely floaty Kin JL dress no longer available
Both have been great purchases!

How would you say the sizes are for the green shirt dress? I’m kind of between sizes….go big or go small? Thanks.

Another Amelie dress from Boden. A dark navy with green splodge flowers from M&S

penguinwithasuitcase · 28/08/2021 18:51

@CovidCorvid Louche dresses are always exactly to size and don't have any give in them.

So if you're even half an inch over the size guide, size up!

They're good quality too so if you ever need to take them in, they hold up to adjustments well.

penguinwithasuitcase · 28/08/2021 18:52

Having said there's no give, I've just gone to look and the green one does have a stretchy panel at the back. But still, I'd err on the side of roomy.

OxanaVorontsova · 28/08/2021 18:56

This one from Cos smart enough but casual, stretchy, fab

KarenofSparta · 28/08/2021 19:01

This from Zara, will be switching from bare legs and trainers to opaques, coat & chunky boots as it gets chillier.

I bought this Oliver Bonas one yesterday. I wore it today with bare legs and gold Nikes, and a chunky gold necklace, but it looks great with opaque tights too. And it has pockets.

I saw loads of lovely dresses I want in the Joanie website the other day.

Weird fish have a big sale on and an extra 20% this weekend. If you like dresses made out of tshirt type material these ones are great and they go up to big sizes. I've just bought the Tallahassee dress in lots of different fabrics as the one I bought a few weeks ago is so comfy. I've had lots of people compliment it.

This is a pic of one

This one from Hush. Hides my tummy, long enough to wear all day, doing anything without it riding up. Really like it.

For you @jemimafuddleduck! Bargainous price for Zara too.

What's Weird Fish sizing like Ladyrattles? I quite fancy a couple but I'm between sizes and never know which way to go!

Usually pretty spot on. It's the only store I've never had to send stuff back to. The tshirt dresses in the two largest sizes are generous in certain styles so I could probably have gone down a size but I prefer to hide my tummy.

I love this dress from George at Asda.
