I want a warm winter dress

[TheLovelinessOfDemons]

Do they exist, or do I need to buy trousers?

Uniqlo jumper dressers are great

@phantomgirl22

I don't like full length sleeves either. I'm short so they're always too long and end up half way up my hands. Anything I own that has full length sleeves I always roll up.

The nicest winter dress I have is from TK Maxx and it is a role neck cashmere wool dress in navy. It is so luxurious and it cost about £60. My next favourite is a black and grey dress from The White Company that I bought about 3 years ago.

I saw someone the other day in a shop wearing a winter shirt dress. It had some kind of tartan pattern on it. It fitted her perfectly and was absolutely lovely on her. Way better than I am describing.

Forgot to add the main point, that my TK Maxx dress was a Jaegar one.

I have two denim pinafores from Seasalt that I love!

Bettyhatesavocados,

Sorry, I can't seem to respond to the PM for some reason. It is not that one sorry.

Jumper dresses make me look awful, I’m only 5”3 and haven’t got much of a waist or bum. I would love to find a dress that looks ok on me, I can only really wear pinafores which make me look a bit like a child 😬.

Has anyone suggested Cos? www.cosstores.com/en_gbp/women/dresses.html

Lots of different shapes, a couple of corduroy and knitted. Some that are loose enough to take a fine knit underneath.

Etsy also worth a look.

I hate 3/5 sleeves with passion and fury, HATE hate them.

If I’m warm l want short sleeves. If I’m cold l want long sleeves. I never want something pissing about between the two. When do l wear it? I get cold wrists.

You need a wool dress. Jaeger (M&S), Hobbs, Joules are the only places I’ve been able to buy decent ones at a reasonable price.

I hate non-long sleeves on warm coating like winter dresses/jumpers/coats etc.
I mean, WTF is the point?
I can literally never be warm if it's not long-sleeved.

I run cold.

I have this, www.cosstores.com/en_gbp/women/womenswear/dresses/product.relaxed-fit-maxi-sweatshirt-dress-purple.1002877003.html it's very warm. I'm just trying to work out what footwear to wear with it. It's slight greater in real life though.

Please could anyone advise as to the length of the knitted jumper Uniqlo dresses please? I get frustrated when websites don’t give a nape to hem measurement on dresses. I’m only 5 foot 1 so irate really matters!

irate = it!

Amazon have some flannel winter shirt dresses. Am quite tempted...

Love this www.seasaltcornwall.com/heartfelt-dress but would probably look awful on me as I’m too short.

And this one www.hush-uk.com/cait-cord-mini-dress-velvet-red/003522-2475.html

H&M usually have sweatshirt dresses and jumper dresses with or without hoods. I love them with leggings underneath

Bought this and LOVE it - super soft baby cord

I have a couple of corduroy dresses from Lily and Me which are perfect for autumn/winter.

@Lovemusic33 - how tall or short should I say 😉, are you? I bought the heartfelt dress today and I’m 5’4 - for me it’s about perfect but would have still been happy if it had been an inch or two longer.

Im 5"3 so it might fit 😊

@Lovemusic33 - I’m sure it would but if you do order I would size down, I’m normally a 10 top ( 32E) and 8 is still roomy enough for a long sleeved tee under. It’s quite lightweight but still warm.

All of these dresses are so boring. No patterns or a good cut.

It's as if they want us to look miserable through winter.
