Nice wrap dresses?

17 replies

Rindercella · 22/04/2010 09:58

Can anyone recommend any nice wrap dresses please? I have been trawling through the internet without much luck and thought I bet some of you will know exactly where to go. I have one Boden dress which I bought a couple of years ago and never wore until I tried it on a few days ago and it looked fab, so now I am on the search for some more - would probably like one casual and one a bit smarter.

I am 5'10" with good legs, size 14 with a wobbly baby tummy (but only had baby 4 weeks ago tomorrow, so this can be excused I think!). Would prefer knee length or slightly longer. Budget up to about £100 for each - would probably pay a little more for the smarter one and would prefer to pay less for the casual one but can be flexible on this.

TIA

I have some for you, how do I post links here?

Rindercella · 22/04/2010 10:16

Ooh, thanks. You type address

So, MN would be www.mumsnet.com

Need the double brackets before and after for it to work. If you can't figure it out, pls can you just c&p the website?

Ha, that wasn't very clever of me!

Ok, try with spaces - you need to type website address so open with two double brackets, type website, then close with two double brackets.

There are some casual wrap dresses on the Matalan website in cotton that are knee length and are very flattering in RL.I bought 2 yesterday - one in blue and red mix.I am size 14 and will wear with leggings or skinny jeans as are a bit revealing at the front.But best of all are very inexpensive!.Sorry do not know how to post link will have to get my daughter to show me!

I was looking myself recently as I need a nice dress for a christening that has easy boob access for feeding. I have ordered the Miss Sixty and the Linea ones online and am waiting for them to arrive. Also ordered this and this to try but not wrap dress. Am having fashion show later. Good luck!

Some lovely dresses there ComeAgain, I particularly like the Linea & Eastex ones (I feel a bit old for Miss Sixty!). The Boden is the the one I have, although in a different print. Thank you very much

Sorry, meant to ask - how is the sizing? The weight is just falling off me at the moment (with a combination of flu and constant breastfeeding, it's kind of inevitable!), so who knows, I may be in a 12 sometime soon.
