Can anyone help me find what I'm looking for please? So fed up with online shopping!

[used2bthin]

I have ordered loads recently and its all gone back. I would really like to find a shirt dress to wear on its own in summer or over leggings if the weather stays as it is. I am 5.9, 12-14 but pear shaped, more of a 10-12 on top. I have dark hair and eyes and suit strong colours, dark navy, purple, pinks and jade green.

I am also looking for tunic type tops, again maybe shirt style to wear over leggings and skinny jeans. I have quite a tummy and find that low waisted, button down things tend to hide it well. I can't wear anything jersey/flimsy though.

I am also desperate for jeans but will have to keep looking for those alone I think as its impossible without trying to know what suits. TIA.

where have you ordered from and rejected?

Oh I also woud like a couple of short sleeved long cardigans. Saw a nice one in primark but it was a sort of cream/beige colour which makes me look ill!

Is this the style of dress you are looking for?

New Look have loads of short sleeved long cardigans at the moment.

Sorry x posted there. I ordered a dress twice form Great plains, it was a horrible fit on me though, made me look all tummy. Then two dresses from m and s. Also two tunic style things from topshop which looked awful on me. We have no decent shops here!

Thanks dexter the new look cardigans are perfect. For the dress I am looking for something a bit shorter and more straight if that makes sense. I can't seem to wear things that tie round the waist either as my waist always seems in the wrong place!

[whispers] are you sure that button through shirt dresses are the best shape for you?

have you browsed www.shopstyle.co.uk/?

Warehouse have a few

colours are a bit bland though

Boden do a linen shirt dress.

sorry wardrobe been delivered and DD awake so wll have to look properly later, thank you though! Kristina I've got one thats years old from oasis but its got a dropped waist which I can't seem to find. I would love to find something that did suit my shape, very open to suggestions (please please!) be back later.

Thank you the third warehouse one is lovely but I'd look ill in the colour sadly. What a brilliant website that shopstyle one is EldonAve! You have started something now!

TheRealMrsJohnSmith thank you, I should have said though it is just for day time toddler group type stuff so I think the Boden one would be too smart.

tHERE ARE A COUPLE i SAW ON SHOPSTYLE FROM kEW THAT i THINK WOULD BE GREAT SHAPOE WISE, i WILL LINK. wRONG COLOR AND PRICE THOUGH!

Oops sorry didn't mean to shout!

On second thoughts that one could make me look pg! Maybe I should just opt to lose weight instead!

not sure if this is what you mean? just a suggestion!

wondered about this style as an alternative

basic shirt dress

drop waist though not sure about colour

wrap dress?

What about this from Boden? It comes in purple. You can usually find a £10 off or 20% off code somewhere which would bring the price down a bit.

Just looked on the vouchers bit and 20% off code is T338.

Thanks Clure, the second from last (dropped waist one) is exactly the shape I mean. Only in thicker cotton and different colour. Oasis seems to have uite a lot in will check them out next time I go shopping, we actually have Oasis here.The second one is lovely but I am too flat chested for it . I also seem to be the only person in the world for whom wrap dresses are unflattering!

Actually I don't like them on me. I had quite a nice one from kookai which never looked or felt right and I gave it to my pregnant sister!

Remember seeing some of those drop waisted tunics in New Look and Primark a little while ago

Oh I will have a look in there, will be popping to New look anyway for the cardigan. I wore a wrap dress when pg actually, a friend gave it to me! It looked ok on me then bt just clings in the wrong places now!

this
or this

Thank you, I think the first one may be the ight shape to wear over leggings but too pricey. I saw a nice one in Zara but it only came i white so not practical enough.
