Wool or cashmere jumper dress

Has anyone seen any nice ones? Tried one from Sosander but the ribbing on the chest made my boobs look weird..! Would like skater style with a bit of a waist rather than straight up and down. Any recommendations welcome - I want to wear thick tights and boots and frolic though autumn leaves in it, winsomely*

*(in reality look like a woolly sack of potatoes but feel very cosy).

Cos and &otherstories have them I know this probably not what housekeeper but this is a very warm and comfortable dress

I bought it last year in dusky lilac and I'm thinking about buying on of these again

Thanks @GettingStuffed but I need something with a bit more shape than that, sadly

Boden have some wool dresses that are skater style?

Oooh I'm a fan: Hobbs, Celtic and co, brora all do lovely knit dresses.

Cashmere doesn’t wear very well, I have a merino wool dress for my frolicking.

Where from @0live ? I'm very tempted by the Boden blouson sleeved woolen dress they currently have...

That Hobbs dress looks nice, but £149 for a viscose/rayon/polyester blend!

Have had a lovely one from Uniqlo in the past and my Cos ones from 7/8 years ago are wearing well

Ahhh I picked up a Burberry cashmere dress in a house sale! It was the most cosy comfortable thing ever. Cut like a fitted tennis dress/polo shirt and couldn't itch if it tried. I've put a stone weight on and it doesn't fit - all bulges now. Depressing!!! I'd love another cashmere dress. Most wool drives me mad. Watching your recommendations!

You always get Hobbs on a 20 percent off - boden has a 20 pc off at the Mo too. I've found Hobbs rayon etc lasts a bit better than some knits.
