Cord dress hunt

[fudgecat]

Anyone seen a long sleeve, fitted/belted cord dress for under £50? I've seen a nice one in monsoon but out of my budget unfortunately

https://www.whitestuff.com/p/2410/jade-cord-shirt-midi-dress/DK_TEAL. I have this, and the brick colour, 25% off so, at £59, slightly over, but they’re fab! There are cords at each side to pull the dress in, which hopefully make up for no belt as you’ve asked.
also have the black print jade cord dress from white stuff on eBay which was £28 a few months ago. Look them up on eBay!

I have THIS MARKS AND SPENCER DRESS and it’s lovely on. I have the dark green.

There are a few here at Joanie clothing. I bought one last year and they’re lovely and soft.

this is a pretty colour and is fitted and belted.

This is gorgeous in Green, sad its sold out.

This could be nice on: https://www.cottontraders.com/cotton-cord-knee-length-dress/AG10820019.html?src=MGG1&fix=1&source=pla&CAWELAID=320012860000023834&CAGPSPN=pla&utm_source=GoogleShoppingUK&country=uk&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAC808L47l2kIuMq7cHWOwx_OufRgH&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzrXwqu_tggMVJEVBAh0mhg8uEAQYDSABEgKcl_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Ugh... whats with all the flounces. Every bloody dress has tiers like a bloody cake.

I just sent for one

Why does it look so much better on the larger model, do you think? Is the slim model wearing one too big for her?

I think she is @Gwenhwyfar, it drowns her a bit. I also think the larger model is putting her shoulders back which is much more flattering across the chest.

It’s clearly a dress that needs Boobs.

Ha ha. Not for me then.
It's also a winter dress so I couldn't wear it without a top underneath and I'm not sure how good that would look.

This one from m&co is similar to monsoon but only got limited sizes

I’ve tried on a few and ended up with a teal one from Crew via M&S - Crew often have discount codes so might come in close to budget

Thanks everyone, some fantastic ideas. I found one on New look that looks promising so have ordered it to try

I have to say I am not a fan of tiers either. I thought that trend had faded away.

I LOVE the M&S and Crew ones - but they have notch necks <weeps>

I can't wear notch necks as I can feel the little corners on them.

If M&S or Crew are reading: please make those dresses but with shirt-style or rounded necks!

I've got the White Stuff one, btw. It's not drop dead gorgeous, but it's nice and straightforward. I've also got it in a print from last year, which Iike better as the fabric is thicker.
