I’ve ordered a 2nd sack-of-potatoes dress

Looks good, don’t think a short fattie would do it justice!

The one Muse loves is considerably pricier than my sack of potatoes, Urmstongran.

It occurred to me yesterday that I haven’t worn an actual dress since my dd’s wedding in 2015! I had an awful job finding anything for that, and it’s been hanging in the wardrobe ever since. Just the occasional long skirt in summer.

It’s not a sack of potatoes Witzend! It looks comfortable and airy, just what’s needed as the weather perks up, bet you rock it ?

£229 for a dress is way past my budget.

I bought a baggyish ‘v’ neck linen mix dress today with short sleeves and pockets in a burnt orange from Sainsbury’s for £18. I clocked it as I walked past on the way to buy a sun hat, thinking that’ll do nicely as a cheap and cheerful sundress to take the smalls to the park, kneel down to bath them etc. Nothing special but easy everyday wear.

I bought a tunic dress in the White Stuff sale and have no idea why because I dislike leggings and tights.

This is the pic from the website - needless to say I am not quite as slim and svelte as the model!
It’s on the Poetry website, in case anyone would like to know.

Definitely not a sack of potatoes dress. I think it’s gorgeous. Am struggling not to go on the Poetry website now !!

Comes in a sort of light beigey brown, Grannyrebel7, and what they call ‘black petrol’, which looks sort of dark blue and black, which is what I’ve ordered.
They are very good about returns, so no prob if I don’t like it.

Ouch ! Just like me to find a dress that I love. (Poetry website). £229.

Yes they did Magicwand. They did vary a lot but I liked them. I always think quite a few Seasalt dresses and tunics fit that description. I bought one in the sale and wear it with leggings. It has pockets too?

Not a fan of seersucker but will take a look at the website.

I was expecting that dress to be awful from the description, but it's really nice. Does it come in other colours?

Gudren Sjoden is definitely worth a look

Ooh! I have a length of seersucker material, bought umpteen years ago
However, buying one readymade might be easier!

I wear that type of thing all year round.
Spring and Summer with trainer socks and trainers
Autumn and Winter with leggings, boots and a cardi.
Loads of jewellery and makeup.
I have comfort glam down to a fine art!

Looks lovely and comfy. I bet your happiness and relaxation in it shows on your face so it's win win!

I like the dress a lot, it’s definitely something I’d wear, but it’s not my colour, I like things a lot brighter.
I have quite a collection of shapeless dresses which I love.

I saw the buffet dress episode - loved it , and would also like a ‘full monty’ dress for when I go beserk in the fridge!!??

Didn’t they make something called a ‘Buffet Dress’ in one of the first episodes of Sewing Bee this year. Roomy dresses with gathers and some had ruffles on the bottom and some of them were gorgeous and they’re very in.

Sorry, ignore me. Just seen the photo etc. Ooh, I like the dress.

Witzend would you consider telling us the make of your 'sack of potatoes' dress please

I have a dress like that, Canadiangran. I call it ‘loungewear* but my youngest daughter calls it my ‘goonie’, the Scots for nightgown. How rude!

Ooh I know Poetry - it is pricey. Nice dress.
You will probably wear it on many holidays.

At Christmas I requested (and got) a sweatshirt style dress. Also sack of potatoes... stretchy, long sleeves and comes to knees. I have worn it with leggings and is very comfy. I don't really think my DH is fond of it but of course he is too diplomatic to say anything.

I seem to remember when every dress was made with an elastic waistbands and some could be very uncomfortable.

DH never says he hates clothes that I currently wear - he tells me in a year’s time when I have stopped wearing it?

Any chance of a pic of the sack of potatoes? I have several that I loved but DH hated
