has anyone seen this French Connection dress in RL?

[LetThemEatCake]

and if so, what are your thoughts?

Himalaya dress

LTEC I ordered lots of pjs for dd and a dress. Then this for myself in navy with vest to go under it. I have the white one and have worn it lots already.

this in navy andthis too though I think it looks a bit thin for what I wanted. My mum got a black boiled wool jumper a bit like this 10 years ago from French Connection and it is still going strong. I've been looking for one for years. Like a polo neck coat almost.

I ordered the cashmere cardicoat too after seeing your post about it on a different thread & deciding to shamelessly nick your style ideas.

lovely!!

my cashmere socks arrived today!! no sign of my cardicoat though .. they said I'd have the M now and the S in November - what did they say to you about available sizes?

Gap have a similar dress in at the moment - I bought one last weekend. I got the back version which looks great with black l/s tee and either skinny jeans or leggings underneath. Bit looser than the one you linked too though...

I should add "black version" is black and dark grey, which ASOS don't seem to stock....

How about this instead?

dairymoo I tried that Gap one on, my normal size (12) was really tight on the chest!

the Gap checked shirt dresses featured in the Guardian "all Ages" feature this weekend ... only 2 of the older models

having said that though, they looked great! definitely worth a look. Thanks

LTEC - oh no!!! Well, I guess it's how you wear it, eh? I'm hoping my faded, battered skinnies bring some "youth" to the look. I'm only 30....

And yes paddingtonbear I agree re: the tightness on the chest. Am normally an 8 and had to get a 10 in this - and I'm pretty flat chested, so perhaps not one for the large of nork.

sorry, meant to say "only on 2 of the older models" - but you obviously got what I meant!!

it's here

I think 1/5 looks cool - and she's probably what, in her 40s? am only 3 and a bit years off that, personally ... and I have boots in that style, black patent though ... am tempted...

Go on...it's very versatile, comfy (more comfy than the FC one, I'd think?), fairly stylish - how can you afford not to?

I was tempted to try the size up, but was afraid the bottom bit would look like a tent!
