Needs to be machine washable with long slesves and no high necks.
I have brown and black boots so to go with either colour.
I've had a look and they all have 3/4 length arms......
Can anyone help me?
Won't get a chance to check back til later....

i nhave a lovely one from asos. and they have a sale on atm

southeastastra · 06/01/2009 11:08

i have one from la redoute which is lovely and really long sleeves

MrsSeanBean · 06/01/2009 12:49

Is this in Boden sale any good?

Only available in yellow though, and it says handwash, but I've found delicate machine wash to be fine for boden 'handwash' items.

fishie · 06/01/2009 12:52

i wear long sleeved top under short armed tunic thing.

notwavingjustironing · 06/01/2009 12:52

Theres a lovely grey one in the French Connection Sale - hopeless at links though!

frisbyrat · 06/01/2009 13:00

I have this, and it's lovely and soft.

MrsSeanBean · 06/01/2009 13:18

This from Toast sale is nice too.

sammysam · 07/01/2009 21:04

Thank you ladies!
I like them all-problem I have is i can't wear blues, maroons or other dark colours. Browns, midtones and some bright colours are good-any suggestions? Oh yeah-and if it could be under £30 i'd be a very happy bunny as I have said to dp i'd not buy anything else

saw in M&S at the weekend, in red or black, v neck. will have a look on website for you.

bluesky · 07/01/2009 21:20

can't see it on the web, but they have another style in Heather or Teal, product code T625480E. It's a Per Una dress.

Tinker · 07/01/2009 21:21

I've got the brown Uniqlo one - it's lovely, have had lots of compliments when I've worn it.

princessmel · 07/01/2009 21:27

what are the uniglo sizes like? They only have it in xs

Tinker · 07/01/2009 21:30

Oh. I'm a 12 and have the medium.

princessmel · 07/01/2009 21:38

I'm a 10 - 12

xs wouldn't fit then

sammysam · 08/01/2009 12:36

that the brown uniqo is too small for me. I'm not sure I could pull off the arms on the la redoute one
Will have a quick look at m&s

AHA! I was going to say Uniqlo. I have a grey one and I love love love it! Very flattering and comfortable. And it doesn't stick to tights.

I have a medium - I am normally a 12. Fits well. Bit short on me but not indecent.

They also deliver really quickly and so far have been really reliable.

OT I got DS#1 a really cool manga type t-shirt from their UT section.

samsonara · 11/01/2009 13:58

I'm liking these from Peacock :
brown is also available in black which is also nice
and there is this one
black roll neck also in grey

lovelysongbirdie · 11/01/2009 16:04

thaat peacocks one is a right bargin and nice

sammysam · 11/01/2009 17:48

I think that brown one is a jumper so it'd be too short
I'm tempted to try the black one even though I wanted black cos it is such a bargin! How would you wear it? I can't get this layering thing right

lou33 · 11/01/2009 17:54

I have this (and so does flier now

i use some of hte jumpers as mini jumper dresses with thick tights

soyabean · 12/01/2009 07:41

I am looking for exactly the same thing Sammysam, but no luck so far. machine washable is v important! Am watching with interest

soyabean · 12/01/2009 07:44

there are some nice looking ones here white stuff but the links to individual pages dont work so maybe they are sold out? I like the stripey Roedean one especially. I think the Jubilee ones are hand wash as I have seen them in shop.
