This Barbour dress, thoughts?

Seems decent and warm for the season, would go with a lot of other things in my wardrobe, but wondering if it might be a bit stiff, I'm not used to corduroy...or tiers. It's very 'me' though.

I don't think it is too bad for the price/fabrics considering the price of polyester at Hush.

I will consider the title for my next sex tape Grin

the only think stopping me with this dress is the breast pockets. Since noticing them im angry with it.

Does any one use breast pockets?

I keep spare £50 notes in mine:)

I’ve tried squeezing my phone into a denim jacket breast pocket but couldn’t get it in. I’ve never seen anyone put their hands in one!

you couldn't fit a postage stamp in my denim jacket breast pockets.

Women's clothes have some curiously useless features sometimes.

I recall many years ago when people used to keep packets of cigarettes in breast pockets. Men mostly. What a blast from the past.

Maybe you could put a handkerchief in each one so they'd be like bunny's ears

ILoveShula · 04/11/2021 14:43

or a fag packet in one and a zippo lighter in the other in case you meet friends who smoke

Breast pockets not a good idea. Sort of groping yourself if you use them. I love dresses with normal pockets though.

I quite like this dress and thought 'I'm sure I've got something similar'. I then realised it was the dress I wore to my brothers wedding in 1984 when I was 17 ....!!

Like it, but would cut the badge off.

"Lovely navy corduroy midi dress by Barbour, with tiers, buttons and 'grope yourself' pockets"

Now that would sell it!
