Can anyone suggest me some dresses?

[EllieSattler]

I would like some dresses to wear with flat boots and tights. Must have sleeves to at least the elbow. No high necks. Preferably something with a bit of shape (not Toast, Cos style sacks!) And not too expensive. I'm 40, 5'7 and a 14 - 16 with big boobs and a c section pouch. Thanks!

I get all my dresses like that from Next

H&M worth a look
M&S have some gorgeous dresses if you like patterns

Anyone have links to any specific dresses?

I’m similar proportions but 5’6 and 16-18. My best dress is a Hush Kensington but these are similar and better priced. I love this type of dress as can wear all year with sandals, boots, knitwear, denim jacket, leather jacket etc…
The key is a shirt style top to avoid the matronly look!

NL winter floral

NL black and white

Dancing leopard Dove dress is true to size and great for cinching in a waist.

The M&S one is on the app so can’t link.

Thank you both.

@Jumpingintosummer those all look lovely.
@Alwaysfuckingsick the first dress is very nice but the Boohoo one would look like I've just put a hanky on 😂 twenty years ago maybe!

Happy shopping. I just found myself buying the M&S one

I just bought a People Tree wrap dress from Amazon! I've never bought clothes from Aamazon before but I checked the People tree website and it looks genuine. Iys organic cotton, sleeves to elbows and o feel great in it. I've got trainers on but will be great with kneee hight boots in the autumn. Its Riya Notif (I don't know ow gow to do links). I'm 45 and between a 14 and 16 (I kept the 16). And you don't pay upfront either. I have a few more dresses on order 🙂🙂

Sorry for typos, trying to type fast as lunch break is about to end

What's the fabric like on the M&S one? Some of theirs are really thick, scratchy-feeling viscose and it makes my teeth hurt!

Will let you know when it arrives.

Land's end might be worth a look.

Thanks, @Jumpingintosummer

I just discovered Shein today and have ordered a few things. Not sure what the quality is like but they have some lovely looking dresses on there, like this one. Prices are v good too

Try Nobody's Child. I think their dresses for really really well. Also Hope & Ivy.

*fit 🙄

SHEIN is largely full of polyester dresses but I have had good heels from there. https://www.cathkidston.com/en-gb/sale/105441917264258.html?glCountry=GB&utmsource=sag&utmmmedium=organic&utmcampaign=surfacessUK&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1dGJBhD4ARIsANb6Odmk5bnWq0LP1kOzclnpBRWCTSRqGE-j4MPAofkkmJGfEU7cwdO1gd4aAkD6EALw_wcB
