wrap dress

Rindercella · 02/06/2010 22:18

Was about to recommend the very same IO dress. Tis lovely.

geraldinetheluckygoat · 02/06/2010 22:18

I just got a nice one off ebay today, and i like it, and dont give a monkeys what anyone else thinks! So there!

wineismysaviour · 02/06/2010 22:21

Rindercella I have this one, its utterly gorgeous...would have it in every colour if I could...

Rexy · 02/06/2010 22:25

Anyone know of a short sleeve wrap dress ?

wineismysaviour · 02/06/2010 22:28

oh yes

Pluto · 02/06/2010 22:29

IO do a short sleeve version of the one wineismysaviour linked to, I think. I have the blue long sleeved IO one, and it is a real wardrobe staple. Now I want the pink one!

Rindercella · 02/06/2010 23:06

Pluto, because of this thread, I just noticed that the pink one is 25% off at the moment - very temptiong (I have the blue one too).

ThatVikRinA22 · 02/06/2010 23:09

love that wrap dress linked....marking spot as im gonna get the short sleeved one!

Pluto · 02/06/2010 23:36

Rindercella - I am on a budget I have the pink in a maternity version which I haven't worn for 16 months now...but this may be the solution. I have just assumed there will be too much material and it will really odd on a non-pg person.

southeastastra · 02/06/2010 23:37

that's great, thought isabella oliver was just maternity

I have just bought the blue short sleeved one ...wrap are a great staple dress for some shapes..some people look awful in them though, think you need a defined waist .

The IO one os a tad too long for me though so will have to have it altered.Have started athread about a cardi to go with it here

topsi · 03/06/2010 07:40

Am tempted by the black short sleeved one for work, wouldn't normally spend so much on a jersey dress, is it worth the extra dosh?? Does it cover the knee slightly??

brimfull · 03/06/2010 09:31

does cover knee
is a bit too long for me and I am 5'4" , comes to 3' below mine
the jersey is decent quality

southeastastra · 03/06/2010 10:16

have ordered the IO dress, excited! thanks

I got this one

in wallis in the sale for £20. They also have black. Really nice on, comes to just above my knee, i'm 5ft 7. Think I might buy the black one to as its so nice (and black is a bit more wearable black

lynnexxxo · 03/06/2010 10:33

If any of you are interested in the wallis dress SHE5 gives you a further 20% discount and WALLIS28 gives free delivery, thus £16 delivered. And 10% on Wuidco if you do that too.

Bargain me thinks.

Yes it is polyester but it is really nice and sits well.

lynnexxxo · 03/06/2010 10:33

That would be quidco by the way!

topsi · 03/06/2010 10:57

Oh just went to order the isabella oliver dress in black and they only had it in the smallest size boo hoo!!

TheFirstLady · 03/06/2010 11:02

Just bought the black Wallis one and used the SHE code, thanks very much Lynne. Now's probably too late to ask, but is it OK for ample norkage?

lynnexxxo · 03/06/2010 11:16

I'm a 36dd and i think its fine, there is plenty room in there. You could always wear a vest top underneath if you want less on display and make it a bit more casual.

southeastastra · 03/06/2010 11:18

sorry that was probably my fault topsi have never spent so much on a dress have to say, but it's for my birthday just gone.

i like that one too lynn for summer wonder if it's in the shops to try on
