Hi all,

I'm looking for a warm versatile dress that can be dressed up or down. Something I can wear with docs, converse, or high heels depending on the accessories I use.
I swear it didn't used to be this hard to find but now when I look online all that comes up is shein and temu shite.

Must have:
Good quality
Mini/midi length
Long sleeves
Skater style

Preferably:
Solid colour or very subtle patterning
Not white
Under £100

Open to buying used if you have vinted listings you want to share 😊

Thanks in advance

I struggle with this every year, for some reason they don't seem to exist! I found a cute one on Zara the other day (link is to the french site but I assume they have the same on the uk one)

Search on eBay or vinted. I have Oasis knitted ones from there or I originally bought instore which fit this bill plus a Top Shop sort of retro one which I’m looking to sell plus a black floral Oasis one I’m also looking to sell (none listed yet).

I've been looking but the filters don't necessarily show what you ask them too 🙈 so I feel like I'm trawling through a jumble sale. I've got a couple saved on vinted and they're not exactly right but they're close. I do filter by brand for quality pieces but when I do that I miss out on brands I dont know about.
If you decide to list your items feel free to share a link (under a name change I don't expect you to out yourself)
I'm kinda hopeful someone out there has seen the perfect dress tho 🤣
