Gorgeous autumnal dresses

[Notmycircusnotmyotter]

I've lost all my baby weight and an awful ex partner since last Christmas and now I feel myself again I want a gorgeous autumn and winter wardrobe.

I like dresses with ankle boots, prints, strong colours. I'm a size 6-8 5"4 brunette. Not on a budget but equally don't want to spend many hundreds per item.

Does anyone have suggestions of where I can shop? John Lewis app had very little.

Or images stolen from an Etsy shop or craft blog where someone has made a one of a kind item. What you’ll actually receive is a very thin polyester sweatshirt with the print on it.

Unless you’re spending a lot of money, you aren’t going to get that level of embroidery detail on clothing. It’s far too intricate for a fast fashion site to copy.

I think a lot of the poshness on here is people living out an odd fantasy. Never see these sorts of outfits in real life, only on S&B!

Op said she wasn't "on a budget" so...

I love this dress and was eyeing it up on the Joe Brown website yesterday! Question seeing as you own it - I have big boobs and it worries me it would be a bit gapey, is it?

Try Saint and Sofia. I ordered the Olivia last year and it was good quality.

Scamp and dude
Joe browns have a stunning dress in I have my eye on too.

Palava was mentioned up thread, and they are my absolute favourite. Some very autumnal stuff, if you like the vintage style, for example:

Check out their knitwear as well!

This arrived today - horrendous! Going straight back.

@Osco oh no! Thanks for the update. I won't bother ordering.

Saw this yesterday and it looked nice. https://www.marksandspencer.com/cord-round-neck-mini-waisted-dress/p/clp60690285#intid=pid_pg1pip32g2r1c2

I like a more plain style. Like this kind of thing.

I showed my DD this dress ( she's a 6-8 and 5'7" ) she said the same "All I need is a hat and an apron "
The black one was "Woman In Black"

(DD works in a office so smart/casual)

I like that dress but I have no waist

Marimekko is Finnish

Popsy clothing fits this brief perfectly 🥰

I’ve got both these from Oliver Bonas recently. The green is lovely and you can easily wear either in warmer autumn weather or add tights and cardigan/jacket.

and another green checked one there which I can’t seen to link to.

That’s something I’d consider.

I think you'd like Joe Brown , autumnal colours and Boho vibe.

I love Joe Brown's. They have gone more mainstream the last few years so I don't buy as much now.

Good on my bank account balance though. They have a really good selection and they do alot of colour.

Lots of woodland in. My favourite though is the punk style dress, punk trousers and a punk bag.

Guess who has just spent £160 in JB's 🤣 Other than new boots and a jumper I don't need anything else in my wardrobe for the winter so that's not too bad 😉

I bought the navy and red version of this autumn leaf print dress last year, and love it. The green one is still available in some sizes and great price too!

Absolutely love this!

Where are these from? I like the beige wrap one

Your correct, they are awful, and yes it's a scam site, re your other post.
You can tell by looking at the website and the contact details for them.

The email contact is a basic Hotmail.com account. They are usually a Hong Kong company and they have many sites with different names.

I know a few people who have been caught out by them. Fortunately they have been able to get there money refunded through there card provider as the company doesn't reply

Thank you for introducing me to this brand😍

Lovely dress!
