I would like a day dress, that is not a wrap dress.

[BikeRunSki]

I would like a day dress that I can just pop on, with a nice pair of shoes and be ready for work in 30 seconds.

My fantasy requirements are -
Not a wrap dress
Not floral
Not too plain either
Knee length or longer
Not black
Needs lseevs of some sort
Not empire line, always makes me look pregnant, except when I am! (I'm not)
Preferably not jersey, but would consider it.
Something I could wear by itself in summer and with a cardy and tights in winter would be nice.

I thought the Boden Esseential Dress in the SS catalogue was the answer to my prayers, but I ordered it and it looked like a dishrag.

I am a buxom size 14, 5'8" and fair.

Budget - I normally quake at the idea of paying more that £50 for anything, but would spend maybe up to £100 for the right dress.

I also needs some shoes to go with it! I like chunky Fly type shoes, hate dainty stilletoey things, rarerly wear heels, but think this type of dress would need heels.

Hoep there are soem magicians out there!

Moneyspider... like This?

tethersend- are you already married? If not, would you do me the honour? Thanks so much! It may be THE ONE!

Oooh, if you do get it, let me know how it is... It's beautiful.

Now hurry up and make an honest woman of me

Wowzers tether that is exactly the same dress only in silk! And reduced as well!

You just have to buy it now Moneyspider

I saw it and thought of you

I may have too much time on my hands.

Wow blimey ladies, thank you! Loving all the sale Jaeger, but do rather like the LKBennett silk one. Also this LKB one this.

Tether and Moneyspider, get a room please!

Barges in to see who is flirting with Tethers

Impressive dress-finding though Tethers

I am undone

Can we get a triple room?

bunnylebowski love that patterned number.

shirt dresses good for the curvy - M&S have a nice-looking navy one in Autograph at the moment. I am purchasing it myself when I get the opportunity (can't do links though sorry)
