I'm looking for a dress to wear autumn through winter. Day time, casual, with boots.

  • size 20
  • autumn muted colours, probably browns, mustards, greens, burgundies
  • long sleeves
  • corduroy or heavy cotton (not jersey)
  • mid calf length. (5'9")
  • not a smock!
  • possibly placket front
  • not drop waisted nor tiered
Prepared to go to £100 for the right one but I'm dress blind after a day online browsing! Has anyone bought something recently that would fit my slightly 70s dreams?? Grin

Might not fit the full brief but Seasalt have a few muted colour dresses!

I've just ordered this! Thank you. Genius.

I hadn't even thought of FF. I'm sitting in a 7 year old FF breton right now! Hmm

I looked at this but I think it's just a bit too Amish!

I really like that fatface dress but if I got that I’d have to return some of the hush stuff that’s on it’s way! Aargh!

I like the ff dress too!

Ikeameatballs · 28/08/2021 22:54

What’s the fatface sizing like?

MeredithGreyishblue · 28/08/2021 23:14

Pretty generous usually.

I don't know why I didn't think to look. I've looked at Boden, White Stuff, Joules, Seasalt, monsoon... but not the people who made the top I'm actually wearing!

See, MN is genuinely a genius!

It's arrived. It's OK. The fabric is a bit too soft. Was hoping for stiffer. But I'll keep it!

What about this www.seasaltcornwall.com/merrose-cord-midi-dress

I returned the Fat Face dress to the post office on 1st September- I have JUST TODAY had an email confirming the refund .

FF had the parcel on 3rd September according to Royal mail T&T.

I've had to chase three times! Utter shit! 3 weeks!!! More than.

Beware!
