Help me find a needle cord dress/skirt

[MissPettigrewIsWFH]

Its my birthday soon and my lovely mum has offered to buy me a new dress/skirt (£120 approx). I am rather partial to a needle cord outfit at this time of year and LOVE these looks. I prefer a V neck (I've got boobs) and am a 12/14 with good legs/boobs and a thick middle. I need some waits definition so a waist with a full shirk balances me out a bit. Keen on brighter colours; pockets a bonus!

Although I'd love a dress I'm also open to a skirt (I have a lovely Aspiga one from last season) - one that is warm and swishy to wear with trainers or flat brown boots.

Can anyone inspire me?!

I love this one in Toast, the sleeves are beautiful

Joanne have a lovely one in their new Laura Ashley collection. I'm going with the blue option when I get paid.

Unfortunately although those are both lovely (and I love the colour of the Toast one) I'd look like a sack of potatoes without some more definition to the waist. I fear I'd tip over into galleon in full sale mode....

Nobody's Child have a ton of stunning cord dresses at the moment!

The Midaxis from NC above also have pockets and lovely waist definition - I am a size 14 and they are the perfect swishy dress

Bang on budget but they only have size14

Have you tried looking at Poetry? They have some gorgeous cord pieces.

This one (if happy with black) - think there are also discount codes around for Albaray…

The ones you've picked are lovely OP.

I love the nobody’s child ones linked above. There are some fab cord pieces in Boden this season. This cord shirt dress is lovely but maybe not bright enough.

This is stunning colour wise but maybe not enough waist definition

Joanie have some https://joanieclothing.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Cord

Plain Cord Midi Shirt Dress - Peacock – Nomads Clothing

This is probably the closest to what you are looking for https://joanieclothing.com/reba-button-through-cord-dress-rust.html

LOVE that Albaray waisted cord dress. Hope they do it in something other than black, which makes me look corpse like.

Also in burnt orange

Plain Cord Midi Shirt Dress - Tiger – Nomads Clothing

There are some great options here! Ideally I'd like to combine some...! V neck and long, a prefer maxi to midi and yes, a full skirt gathered at the waist to give me some shape. I weep at the dresses I could have worn 10 years ago!!

Skirts welcome too!

That Seraphina dress is lovely

Have a look on Trouva - loads of options from independent shops

The green peacock is beautiful too

You might have already seen this one as it's the v-neck version of one you posted in your OP, but just in case

The Aspiga v neck is lovely, just out of budget! Scouring 2nd hand just in case....

That makes her looks like a sack of potatoes and it would make any woman's boobs looks flat and saggy with that type of neckline.
