The models on the Uniqlo website are usually shorter than typical models - the height is usually stated. They're often around 165cm which is about 5 ft 5. Its a Japanese brand obviously, so unsurprising that a lot of styles work for average height or slightly shorter women.

I was about to ask if it was itchy as that was my first thought but someone beat me to it - love a jumper dress with boots and thick tights in winter but this one not for me. Got a couple of Phase Eight jumper dresses I dig out in winter that are lovely and soft, bought them a few years back though so not sure if they have anything at the moment X

Love a sweater dress - I have a black uniqlo one as well as different style all Saints one
Jaeger, Hobbs and phase eight also have some lovely ones
It’s my winter staple style for work with opaques and boots

Wonderful! I want one - ideally in black or grey, but it's perfect really

Love it, I have a very similar one from a few years back in purple (also uniqlo). I do love it, but find it so warm it's too hot for most of the time ! Like at home it's ok but often too warm . I find it less useful than jumper with skirt as I can't take a layer off when hot.

I have the same dress (in the same colour) and love it. So warm! Love the boots - can someone link to them?

I have washed the dress. 30C, gentle spin and laid over clothes horse to dry.
I can confirm that it look exactly the same as the identical (but black) one I have which hasn't yet been washed.

Hoorah!

@TheOrigRights

Party dress. It's navy, so I'll maybe take a pic in daylight. Don't know what shoes to wear.
This is gorgeous on you. You look very elegant and model-ly. Now I’m thinking the brown dress is hiding you!

Kim
Thank you, what a lovely thing to say.

For sure, the wool dress is loose and shapeless, but it's SO comfortable.
I have my M&S thicker than thick black tights pulled up right under my boobs and my M&S thermal turtle neck.

I'm tall so I think I can get away with loose and shapeless!

It is warm. Mostly it's fine as I work from home in my garden office, but yesterday I had a meeting at school and by god I was sweating!

It’s nice but the material will bobble. Blends are hopeless.

I have a bobble comb. I think it's more likely to go smooth and too loose on the backside if anything.
