Phase 8 jumper dress appreciation thread

I've bought two jumper dresses from Phase 8 recently. I'm a size 12, with fairly slender limbs but quite a chunky midriff and they both just work some kind of magic. I think it's the batwing that balances it out somehow. I've had similar in the past with their long knitted tunics.

Forest green
Grey

Sharing for anyone else out there who is always looking for cosy and flattering knitted dresses.

I feel like I've gone back ten years on Mumsnet .. this is like the hush Tara dress !

Always being raved about!

I've got all the colours of this Becca dress and wheel it out come autumn/winter. Great for an appley shape, warm and you can adjust the length of the skirt and tweak the shoulders etc.

It's lovely - but my arms already feel cold just looking at it. (Sitting here in a great big green knitted jumper with long sleeves!) No good for me in the winter months. I'd love one with longer sleeves.

I still love my Hush Tara @boboshmobo !

And I'm with you @marlowe5 - they really need to sort the sleeves out. Even if I could put up with freezing forearms (which I can't - Raynauds), no one wants to see my ghostly white, goosebumpy, winter arms! I hope someone from Phase Eight is reading this thread and realises that some of us need long sleeves in winter!

I received mine today, sadly I found the same as @AngelsWithSilverWings

The top bit is overly wide and the bottom bit overly tight. It makes me look really out of proportion.

The thin material I dont mind as much as I always get too hot but I'll have to send it back. It just looks very different to the picture.

So sad!

Humph I clicked hoping for miracles but I’m the opposite to you OP - I have a small waist but chunky limbs. Anyone got any recommendations for a knitted dress for that shape 🙏

TheMildManneredMilitant · 23/11/2022 18:51

Ahh no @AngelsWithSilverWings maybe I just have a very niche (2012) shape
