so what are this years school run dresses?

[JeanPoole]

have you lot sorted them yet?

strapless bras make my boobs look like spaniel ears. Not good. So no skinny straps pour moi.

Go on. Have another look. It really is nice.

Mmm don't like the neckline or the pocket on that denim one but I do like the skirty bit. I don't like the Ghost ones either - does that make me a Mumsnet heathen?

I bought that dress duckyfuzz too (also in black). It looks really nice on.

oh that's good pollyanna, seems nice and simple (and a bargain too!)

I'll have to take it back now about thick straps as I like this one

Ooh I like that one Mrs Danvers.

Amazingly versatile dress apparently ....

here what do you think to this?

MrsDanvers that is gorgeous! I got all excited then, making plans to go and try it on this morning when hanaflower reminded me that I won't be able to do dresses this year either because of bf .

Oh dear, didn't want to make bf mums sad.

googled bf dresses after hanaflower's post, think there's a definite gap in the market for decent ones!

TSM - that's a good one, the Joe Brown one.

mrsdanvers wins imo. it doesn't make me think of sex and the city or 1970's caravan upholstery and i might actually wear it.

Oh I dunno, you can bf in shirt dresses...or if you are small of nork like me then anything with a fairly low neckline goes. It does involve pulling your neckline down quite a bit but I don't let that stop me

mrsmaidamess - great name btw! - that first great plains dress was lovely but I can't believe it comes only as size 16 tops! Most companies now go to size 18 surely? Or maybe i just need to get to grips with my diet!

Great plains nearly had a sale then.....

Very nice MrsDanvers.

If I see anyone in these dresses now, I'll be wondering which MNer they are.

what about some of these?

i like 'princess' in green and i would love to march across a cow field in it.

The Warehouse and Ghost dresses I ordered have arrived and are lovely. I'll definitely have to look at the Ghost sale in future - such a lovely, well made dress. So happy with it!

If I wore a dress to do my school run, everyone would think I was on my way to a wedding. Way over the top! I don't have a special school run outfit, just clothes - and sadly that mostly seems to be jeans or some kind of trousers with a t-shirt. All this talk of little ballet flats and spaghetti straps just makes me and a little bit [hmmm]

even

my contender
even though i don't do a school run & would never consider wearing a dress

But wearing dresses is FAR easier than wearing trousers and T'shirt, Mrsmalumbas. Give it a whirl?

god you lot are a bad influence

I have never clicked on one of these threads before. Five minutes in and I have spent £80.
