advice on knitted dress - to buy or not to buy

[mrsflux]

what do you think?

i'm 5foot 2, size 10, slight mummy tummy, medium brown hair, fair skin, green eyes.

also go i get it in grey or brown (i'm thinking brown)

i'm umming and ahhing a lot! also had no sleep as DS is ill so judgement may be off!

I don't like the brown as much as the grey. It's a dull sludgey sort of brown. Nice dress, though.

I like the style and it looks like it wont be too long either (always an issue for me as Im 5ft 1). Would you wear with skinny jeand and boots?

I am not keen. I think there are nicer wooly dresses out there for the same kind of money. I am on a mission to find a woman some wedding shoes or I would do some links but have a look at M&S and ASOS' clearance section. They have a cowl neck dress for £15 I think. H&M have some nice ones in too for £10.

Then again - I never understand short sleeved winter dresses....

hassled - i feel the same about grey - and i have way too much of it!

NAMYBOD - yeah skinny jeans and possibly leggings

monkeysmama - i can't do m&s - i just don't feel old enough and their sizes are silly - either massive or tiny on me with no rhyme or reason

anyone else care to weigh in?

You're right about M&S sizing. I'd go to H&M then - I have their £10 wooly dress in 3 colours and it washes well and looks great for a tenner!

mrs flux, its a nice shaped dress though have to agree with some of the others that I prefer grey (I don't like brown personally!) I'm bit shorter than you and got a lovely knitted dress in black from h&m, simlar style, bit plainer with 3/4 sleeves

monkeysmama - what do the H&M ones look like?
i only ask because i am very impatient with the mess in our H&M! i think i may have OCD as i can't stand messy shops!
