I would like a dress

I would like something for me too!

Boden and Seasalt have some nice dresses. Not sure about buttons up front but nice.

Definitely Boden, they have mid length dresses buttons from neck to waist, many patterns and colours.

try QVC online or on TV .A great selection of dresses for all ages and al sizes .I bought 2 last week and they are beautiful

David Napier, on line, do a range of dresses in that style.

I agree I have several Boden dresses so easy to wear, wash and not iron and discounts usually available. I also like White Stuff, Seasalt, Fat Face and Joules. If its a special occasion its Hobbs for me.

How about

Ooh that's lovely Humptydumpty.

www.lindybop.co.uk/ionia-sea.html

If you like the style, search for Ionia on the site and it comes in a bunch of colours and patterns.

Stretch cotton, midi length, lots of sizes, very comfy on. V neck not too deep on.

Also have a look at the Kody. www.lindybop.co.uk/kody-mustard-ditsy-floral-print-tea-dress.html

Again, various colours and patterns. Lined with chiffony overlay. Very comfy with stretch gathering at waist.

muffinthe moo I do like those. I've never heard of that lindybop. My daughter would love it too.

Try e-bay . If you put in a e.g. fat face (other brands are available) then choose ‘ne2 without lables’ you can get a bargain. You have to know your size though.

That’ll be new not ne2

Try Toast, Expensive but lovely

Have you tried Seasalt or White Stuff?

I’ve bought a coupe of very comfortable and flattering dresses by Manderay at Debenhams. Reasonably priced too.

I have a dress similar to the one pictured in lindybop in a totally different colour - however, it's a bit hot for this weather, being chiffon over a lining. I nearly threw it out because I thought it was a bit young for me.

I would support Seasalt too

Mantaray at Debenhams.

mumofmadboys. I’m a size 12 but on the bigger end of the spectrum. Are sea salt generous in their sizes or a bit on the mean size?

There was a time - 50 years ago - when I thought nothing of buying some pretty cotton and running up a dress in a day. Now I seem to have lost all confidence in my ability to handle a sewing machine, not to mention a pair of scissors. I need to shorten a skirt which I bought from Ebay , very pretty but a maxi when I thought I was buying calf-length. Maxis make me look dumpy... or dumpier. How lovely it would be to make myself a dress!

I haven't 'run up a dress' on the sewing machine for about 20 years when the last one I made was an absolute disaster. I have made cushions, curtains and lots of bunting though.

PamelaJ I think true to size. Anyone??

Its a problem wondering if something is too young looking. ....I usually ask my daughter but sometimes I don't agree with her ?
