They have some in Primark. Probably next too. I have one that is more of a pinafore style. I like it with a long sleeved top underneath, my thick wooly tights and flat boots.

thanks princessmel

MrsBadger · 09/02/2008 15:04

(am looking anyway - non-denim one here

next only have a long frilly one as far as I can see

New Look?

NomDePlume · 09/02/2008 15:06

Thanks MrsB. The shape of that LaRedoute one makes me think of 1980's maternity smocks

aha

NomDePlume · 09/02/2008 15:07

I'm trawling through the good denim brands, maybe the'll have something.

I have a fantastic one, though I call it a bib dress, rather than dungaree dress!?

A fine knit wool pleated one bought on ebay last year, It was a real bargain.

But that doesn't actually help does it, sorry.

NomDePlume · 09/02/2008 15:08

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! MrsB, that littlewoods one is too short and I don't like the scoopy bib bit

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 09/02/2008 15:09

Nomdeplume, no, I must say again, no, not denim! Unless you are 12 years old.
If you like the style find one in a different material.

NomDePlume · 09/02/2008 15:10

I am not 12

Mine is like the La redoute one, in denim. the second one is awful. Tarty and cheap looking.

I couldn't find one in New Look mrsB

nappyaddict · 21/02/2008 18:17

nappyaddict · 21/02/2008 18:17

nappyaddict · 21/02/2008 18:18

dorothy perkins

LOL at Mrs B's reply

Isn't it a pinafore rather than a dungaree dress?
(though googling that does only give kids' clothes)
