here

They do it instore in purple as well, I got the purple for going out and the grey for work. It looks really nice with heels, flat boots and heeled boots. It's a lovely fit, skims the tummy area and at £22 is a bargain, so thought I'd mention it!

it's nice, but that model looks scarily skinny round her arms.

nappyzonecantrunfortoffee · 16/10/2009 19:00

GhoulsAreLoud · 16/10/2009 19:00

THankfully I'm not as skinny as her

I went into Next recently for the first time in years and was really impressed. I bought quite a few things for under £60, so was bargainous too.

Sparkletastic · 16/10/2009 19:03

I've got it in grey and it is FAB - am a curvy size 14 so wear it with a very funky and incredibly well-matched long t-shirt cardie type affair from Matalan to keep warm and hide arms. Looks great with opaque tights and black wedge knee boots. I'm with you all the way on this one Ghouls

TrillianSlasher · 16/10/2009 19:06

I do love a jersey dress, but not keen on the neckline.

nappyzonecantrunfortoffee · 16/10/2009 19:08

i0 dlike a jersey dress to go with soem knee high brown flat boots - is that doeable style gurus? id like it for next saturday and id like to be warm......

Lulumama · 16/10/2009 19:11

i do like the dress i'd wear it over a long sleeved top thogh with some chunky beads

MusterMix · 16/10/2009 19:11

its sold out though so its ireelebant

Lizzylou · 16/10/2009 19:12

I have that in black and grey, it's fab.
Very flattering but hides your tum.

I wore the black one on a night out with heeled boots and got loads of compliments, off women who pay a fortune for their clothes.
Noone could believe the price.

I am wearing the grey one out to the pub tomorrow night with flat boots.

Didn't know that they did purple......

EldonAve · 16/10/2009 19:13

I tried it but it was v gapey on the armholes and showed bra
Maybe fine if you are small chested

GhoulsAreLoud · 16/10/2009 19:17

That's a shame eldon, I'm gonna wear mine with a shrug type cardi cos I don't do bare arms anyway.

Didn't realise it was sold out, I got it in ths shop today.

Next directory pisses me off with the way they obviously bull dog clip the wide topped boots around the skinny models legs to make it look like they fit.

MusterMix · 16/10/2009 19:39

hahahha! i KNEW it was you.
i went to Jones and Shoon this pm in a last min " do i keep the talamores or not" panic.

Lizzylou · 16/10/2009 19:41

Eldon, I am broad and have a big bust, it fits me fine, least I think it does....

CybilLiberty · 16/10/2009 19:48

Oh no Muster don;t say you are having second thoughts. it's a nightmare innit? Perhaps bulldog clips are the answer......

wahwah · 16/10/2009 20:01

Too spooky! I started the Next Tall thread a few minutes before this one because I liked the look of this dress in grey. I normally can't see anthing I luke in Next, so I was a bit surprised at this dress and the price. There's another fab one too, but I'm selfishly keeping that one for myself.

I just hope this doesn't mean I'll become a Boden / Fly London / Toast/ White Stuff (basically and concession in John Lewis)wearing Mumsnet clone!

GhoulsAreLoud · 16/10/2009 20:03

There's another fab one, but you're not going to tell us? Shame on you wahwah

EdgarAllenPoo · 16/10/2009 20:10

good if you don't mind your arm being cut off at an unflattering point (if you are like me and not like the model wrt top arm.)

wahwah · 16/10/2009 20:10

Course I will! Need to get downstairs to computer to post link as takes too long to search site on iPhone.

Lizzylou - It fitted fine, maybe I got a duffly cut one but I just don't want to show 2 inches of the side of my bra to the world

wahwah · 16/10/2009 20:20

This is the other one I liked, although it may not be everyone's cup of tea. I thought it would do day to night really well. Get me, as if I ever do 'day to night'! Day to sleep more like.

nicolamumof3 · 16/10/2009 20:36
