Teacher dresses

[Windflower92]

Hi all, I need a bit of inspiration! I'm looking for some work dresses as I only have 3 that I currently fit into. I like quite flowery formal dresses, and am an autumn so suite purples, oranges, dark reds and greens etc. They need to be practical, so not too long but not too short, and definitely no boobs!

Has anyone bought anything recently that would fit the bill? Budget is probably up to £50. I just don't know where to look!

I've just discovered Popsy and would definitely recommend!

I love wearing Fat Face dresses as they are loose, comfy and have pockets which fit a whiteboard marker, marking pen and remote in ... They do the same dress in a load of different patterns and colours.

Go to eBay and put in a search for shops you like and your size and have it saved
It's a genius way of shopping

I was also going to post about the company but couldn't remember their name

I have the crab sticks dress. I would have never thought of that but always will now?

I have just bought some dresses in the similar style to mountain warehouse (that I also have) from new look.

Look for the above brands on Vinted 🙂

Louise’s Closet sell Seasalt, Fat Face and the White Company dresses for discounted prices - they have pockets too.

I love Popsy dresses, I have about 6 and just work my way through them. They work with boots, docs, pumps and sandals and are so easy to wash and hang up again.

I can't believe I haven't seen poppy dresses before. Now I want all of them

*Popsy

My teacher friend swears by Popsy. Mistral also good I think.

I have a couple of dresses from Joanie that are great - comfy, lovely fit, range of designs and pockets!

Fat Face and White Stuff

Those mentioning Matalan, what is their sizing like? Have seen a few items I'd like to order, but not sure whether to go for size 8 or 10 as it varies for me from shop to shop.

Thanks.

I second the Fatface Simone dress. Put a long sleeve top under for winter. Think they do 2 lengths too.

Love Joanie (they have pockets!) Or Popsy

Thanks to this thread I am now even poorer due to a small splurge on the mountain warehouse dresses...

Sorry @anothernamedoesntsmellsosweet you will see crabsticks for evermore now 🤣 am going to check out Popsy now…

I think I have teacher dresses from most of these shops! But my favourite is the Fatface Nina dress - I have 3 in different patterns.

I second the vote for Lady Vintage, really flattering and cotton rich so wash beautifully,. In summer I wear with sandals and winter with a cardigan, leggings and my Uggs.

i have to disagree about Popsy, I bought a few dresses, but found they bobbled very easily, I think it was where my cardigan was buttoned. The patterns are lovely but I didn’t think the polyester material was very nice. I chucked the lot after only wearing them a few times as they looked so scruffy.

I also love Fatface and Joe Browns.

Seasalt have a Jersey dress with short sleeves and, I think, a sort of sea urchin design. It's just below the knee and costs £55. I've got a similar one from last year, it doesn't crease, still looks good and washes well.

My wardrobe is mostly white stuff tunics and dresses from Yumi and Popsy, worn over coloured snag tights.

The Emmanuelle dress from Hush. You can get it on eBay too.

i have it in some darker patterns and wear with tights and boots in the winter and a thermal later. The one linked is more summery.

Another vote for Popsy! The kids love them too but they bobble badly unfortunately. This doesn’t stop me spending all my wages on them however 🤣
