Summer dresses with pockets. Where should I look?

[Koulibiak]

Hi, I like to have pockets so I don’t need to carry a handbag. I have a lot of Boden dresses, they are excellent for pocket placement. I also have lovely dresses with pockets from Vanessa Bruno, Reiss and Tory Burch. I’m a fairly slim size 10 and I don’t want big floaty, tiered dresses which a lot of brands seem to do (eg Poetry, Reformation) - I’d rather something a bit more fitted, a little less tent-like, but still with pockets. My dream dress for comfort would be the Boden jersey grown on halter neck dress, but I don’t like any of the prints 🙁. I prefer natural fabrics and cannot do puffy sleeves.

Tldr: I cannot for the life of me find nice dresses with pockets this summer. What brands am I accidentally overlooking? I’m happy to do Vinted if someone can point me in the right direction. 🙏

Scamp and dude have pockets but possibly a bit tent like for your style.

Try Nobody’s child.

Thank you both! The scarcity of replies makes me think it’s not just me - it’s slim pickings for summer dresses with pockets, outside of a few brands.

I like Collectif for dresses with pockets, but they may be a bit retro for you.

new look, I just bought two summer dress both with pockets

What about weird fish?

Sugarhill Brighton, Fat Face, White Stuff. They can sometimes be frumpy but there are hidden gems too.

I was in Tesco this morning and noticed that they had a couple of dresses with pockets so the supermarkets might be worth a look.

This is very slim fitting (I’m an 8) and gets lots of compliments.

Abercrombie are great for dresses with pockets! Bought a couple last summer and they are incredibly flattering. They washed well too.

Not a high street brand, but I bought a summer dress from this independent seller last year. Such nice material - cotton so meets your request for natural fabrics - and a bit different from the usual. With pockets as well!

Thank you for all the suggestions! Really appreciated 🙏 I’m off to investigate and will report back

Finery often do pockets.
And UNIQLO, but that might be more tentish
