Soft corduroy dress - can you help me find one

[Justsewsew]

I'm looking for a corduroy dress, probably button through, preferably elbow length sleeves, just above knee length. It needs to be a petite fit ideally- I'm 5ft 1 and size 16. I've tried a couple from Next - a green one from m&co- sleeves too tight and restrictive and a beautiful dark red one from love and roses - too a line for me. Any ideas anyone please? Any suggestions of an alternative would be welcome. Just needs to be warmish and suitable for a nice pub lunch. Can anyone help please?

I quite like that but thinking the waist will be too low on me because it's not petite. I'd prefer it if it was £60 😆. Thank you - that's on my possible list

Can’t link, but Finery have one in khaki and brown, just what you have described.
Fabric is a little bit thin though.

Oh hang on, it’s longer than knee length.

I have this one from last winter in green and it’s nice soft corduroy. I wear it with tights and ankle boots and I love switching up the tops. I’ve got a stripy top when I feel a bit jazzy and in really cold weather I wear it with a chocolate M&S long sleeve thermal top. Not exactly what you asked for but an alternative!

Yumi do tunic shaped ones in several colours: https://www.yumi.co.uk/products/yumi-red-cord-tunic-with-ruched-sleeve

Just looked - it's a bit flouncy for me. Thanks though 😊. I'd lik something quite straight and jewel colours would be nice

I'd just like my dh to be a bit surprised by how nice i look. 😭. He always compliments me but it's more because he thinks he should.

Nice idea but not quite dressy enough. (If a cord dress can be dressy 🤣)

Hmmm I want one with a bit more shape too it. God i'm fussy

Are you okay with Vinted?

Have a look at Roman op. I have 2 from them

They have other styles in cord too

Fair! I have it in green and whilst I like it, I’d like it even more if it was more structured…

Oooh thanks- just ordered the green one. Fingers crossed. I ideally wanted something more shaped but i'm panicking now

I like the idea of vinted but I haven't often been successful with fit etc. I'd rather order new so I can send back if necessary

I really liked the top of the love and roses one I ordered- it was quite fitted and a bit va va voom 😊. Just the skirt stuck out too much

Love this

Nice if a bit flouncy but would be floor length on me 🤣. Thanks though

Seasalt usually have corduroy.
