can we bring up the school run summer dress thing again in anticipation of my hols

[brimfull]

I would prefer it to jersey to enable my norks to fit.And short sleeved or wide straps preferably .
I thank you.

Come on girls...lets crack this one.

I'm sure there was an ongoing Cod thread somewhere. Haven't seen it for a while though.

yes I do remember cod bringing it up a few months ago..

this?

Needs thicker straps, DarthVader - for covering bra straps, I think.

Funny Darth linking to Fat Face, as I immediatly thought of this, it has jersey side panels.

They have some nice stuff this year I think. Shirt dresses are ugly.

darth ,my tits would laugh out loud at that,although verry nice

don't like the second one tbh

am bumping this
there must be something out there...it's getting like the raincoat saga

What's a school run summer dress?

too sweaty on the pits?

you just have to keep you eyes open - they tend to pop up in Peacocks, Primark, Gap etc and you must grab as and when you see them

This or this if your legs are up to it (mine aren't). Ditto this?

scatty it is a casual summer dress for eg flinging on over bikini when it's time to stop sunbathign and get the kid from school

not jersey

don't people just wear jeans and Tshirts or combat trousers on the school run?!!

posie - not if it's really hot, no. YOu need something lighter and cooler, but with enough coverage to disguise bra straps.

I keep looking at this and hoping it will suddenly come in a better colour
and this one too

jackie-I like the last one you linked to but worry about my boobs fitting in those boob spaces,but that's the sort of thig yes.The first is great but that style I think makes me look preggers.
Mrsb I like the boden wrap ,do they have one this season as that one is sold out,I'll have a look.Not too keen on the cotton trader one.

I don't actually want one for the school run-tis just a way of describing a casual ,comfy dress.

Oh I see, thank you Mrs B.
Are we expecting a summer then this year?

Agree re the colour of the first one - most impractical. I like the colour of the second one, though.

The bit of the blurb that said: 'An embroidered design and flared hem give it the Per Una touch' made me laugh - actually, if it had some ruffles, and a few patches of other materials, plus some strange buttons sewed on for decoration, then that would give it the Per Una touch - that one's much too restrained.

mrs b-yes!

I love that one but agree I'd want in nice colour...hmmm maybe I could dye the white one?

we can dream, scatty...

I thought pyjamas were the norm for the school run nowadays? On mumsnet anyway

actually dying it isn;t such a bad idea

it's all cotton

I could have several in different colours...

like this

and this

tilly -the 2nd one is more me-that's lovely!!
the 1st is probably too young for me,more what dd would wear.thanks

Mrs B-have ordered the white m&s dress and will dye I think.Thanks

Out of interest - what sort of age do you reckon that first one would be ok for ? The brochure for this place came through this morning (never heard of it before) and there's a lot of stuff in there I really like - including that first dress - but just not sure whether its a bit too young for me. I'm 33
