Hello
I’m thinking about buying this dress.
Which print do you prefer?
I can’t decide…
Thank you!

(^I have dyed auburn hair, a bit like that of my namesake’s^)

Sorry, missed that.
I'd choose the darker print

I think the leafy one maybe out of stock by the end of the day ?

Yes, I was just thinking I need a dress.

I only own two neither of which I like much ?

I don’t see you in those colours. You have a bright spirit.
I can see you in this material I’ve just bought.

We wear bright colours to freshen our souls smile

A quote I've just heard from a Zoroastrian woman in Iran on why they don't wear black. It was a PBS America programme about the Silk Road.

I have several Seasalt dresses and love them. Both patterns are attractive Fanny but I think the russet colourway is a good choice for autumn /winter. I've ordered Seasalt ankle boots and knee boots. They will be delivered tomorrow. Fingers crossed they will fit smile

Nice dress FannyC, but why do they make those funny length sleeves?
(Mind you I do quite fancy the blue one).

It's so they don't get wet when you do the washing up, Auntieflo

PS if we have a Gransnet meeting we'll recognise each other because we'll all be wearing the same dress!

It’s so you can show off your diamond bracelets grin

I was in Seasalt earlier today and the assistant said they had just had their autumn range in. There were lots of lovely pieces there.

The leafy one will limit you to wearing it only in the autumn. I would definitely go for the flowery one as you can wear it any time. I like the 3/4 sleeves. Seasalt is quite pricey but good quality. I find their sizes are a little smaller than White Stuff.

Yes, I fond that too.

Callistemon21 Fri 16-Sept-22 21:41:35

Found!

Serendipity22 Fri 16-Sept-22 21:56:30

I would say the leaf print, its just right for autumn.

Hello!
Well. I finally decided on the flowery one (I even nearly asked DH’s decision but didn’t; but I’m pretty certain that he would have gone for leafy)
I’m sometimes a bit concerned about looking too autumnal - orangey brown hair, orangey brown eyes…
But! Flowery was sold out in marquee size.
So leafy it is! ? ?

Well a size 22 one is on its way to me. I love the linen tunics and have three Seasalt ones, two in teal and one in a deep pink. They are gorgeous and very comfortable and wash well.

FannyCornforth Sat 17-Sept-22 09:26:22

I got mine from Next because I wanted it to arrive today

luvlyjubly Sat 17-Sept-22 09:27:12

Seasalt have an eBay outlet page with vastly reduced prices. Worth a look, there’s so much on there.

NotAGran55 Sat 17-Sept-22 09:59:09

Let us know what you think when it arrives Fanny

Auntieflo Sat 17-Sept-22 10:00:07

Washing up!!! Callistemon21.
DH does that these days. So, it must be for the diamantè bracelets ?

M&S has both dresses in quite a few sizes. Obviously best seller.

The dress has arrived and it fits beautify and true to size.
The material is a little thinner than I thought it would be and needs a slip underneath. I got the tall fit so it is almost a maxi.
