Nice dress with pockets for Wimbledon

48 replies

Want a nice cool dress I can wear with trainers to Wimbledon. Below knee for comfort, don't want it riding up when sitting down. Maybe a nice sage green, but I can wear most colours (dark hair/hazel eyes). Not linen - don't want to look crushed or crumpled. Looking for effortlessly cool.... :)

Budget £100. Size 16. 5ft 4, so not ankle length as look like something out of Michael Bentine's Potty Time (1970s show for the oldies among us).

I know you said no linen but this dress doesn’t seem to crease like linen does. Lovely colour. Very comfortable.

Why is she standing on a chair?

Good quality linen doesn’t crumple.

Just here to check no one is suggesting Popsy 😂

Need a dress for standing precariously on chairs…?

Love this, what’s the sizing like @Tulipvase ?

Tulipvase · 26/06/2025 08:04

Fat face generally runs pretty big. I buy a 14 and might get a 16 else where. I’m 5 ft 2 on a good day and it’s a nice length on me, prob a midaxi but they say it’s a midi.

Boden have same actual tennis racquet prints (with pockets)!

I love this!! Going to the ladies finals and seriously considering buying it. Too much though?! 😬

I have a couple of the Nobody's child starlight dresses - they are lovely but if you have big boobs they are quite "buxom wench" which may not be the look you are going for at Wimbledon.

The pockets are excellent however. Lots of their dresses have them - just search the website for "dress pockets"

I've also got this one which is a bit more casual, but is the comfiest dress ever and gets lots of compliments for the pretty colour

I tried on loads of Nobody's child dresses and they were all far too buxom wench.

I was there yesterday and saw lots of lovely dresses, I think this would be perfect!

Very nice! And looks more £ than it is.

AgnethaF · 06/07/2025 15:34

Yes, my original budget was £100, but ordered a few dresses that were much more (and much less). I just wanted the “right” dress. I think it was flattering for my shape and size.

Happy with my choice. Some lovely outfits to be seen on Friday.

That’s a lovely dress @AgnethaF and a great price.
I hope you had a great day at Wimbledon

Lovely choice, perfect for the occasion and the weather and I bet you'll get lots of use out of it, too.
