I need new dresses !!

This is a very useful forum. I've been stuck on what to wear apart from jeans. Thanks for the ideas.

Sahara. Poetry. Wrap. All three are online. A bit pricey but the quality is excellent.

great to read this. I have spent the whole summer looking for dresses that do not skim the floor. Even M&S petite sizes do.

Have a look on Vinted. Lots of lovely clothes, some new with labels and you are helping the planet too!

3 small boutiques you may like to look at…I am 67 and wear a few of these….
Chichappens
Mistral
Unfolded
Enjoy your new purchases
I do not work for any of these ….

Have a look at White Stuff ( online and shops as well). Don't ask me why it's called White stuff - there's very little clothing that is white, but colourful clothing in all sizes and stylish clothing for most ages, I think . Not that I'm anywhere near stylish!

White Stuff, fat face and M&S
I’m 54 - lovely dresses in all these shops

Weird fish do some nice, casual dresses (not dis-similar to Seasalt in style).

Seasalt have an outlet shop on eBay. Many things at least 50%off. Also get thermal leggings and long sleeved thermal tops from M&S.’ Heatgen . They look like ordinary garments. Not like most thermal underwear. You can still look smart without all the layers!

Another vote for Vinted, some amazing bargains to be had.

I've heard a lot about vinted, does it put you off that it could be a wrong fit and that you couldn't send it back? I think I might be a bit nervous about ordering! new to shopping secondhand online

I like Sea Salt, Monsoon,Per Una,also Roman Originals on line are excellent and have great sales.My daughter swears by Vinted and has got some brand new clothes for a song.

Have a look in your local charity shops. (Or try those in a "posh area" if you think your ares is too downmarket!) I'm not really a wearer of dresses, but I have a relative who is - and who has purchased beautiful dresses made by excellent companies. All in good condition and from charity shops.

The White Stuff has some lovely dresses.

I like White Stuff and Bon Marché ( my town now got an extended shop within a local garden Centre ) and this year got 2 lovely Unfolded items ( an ethical non-waste company ). Ok for me as a lumpy in the middle old person anyway .

I can't wear dresses because of my shape, they look dreadful on me.

Good luck with your search.

I still try charity shops but my go to shop is White Stuff. I never fail to find something in there, even if it isn't a dress.
Yes, pricey but I offset by charity shop buying as well!

I'm a big fan of dresses for the winter. I like jersey ones that are colourful and easy to wear and I have quite a few by the Australian company Orientique. They're available online from a variety of companies & boutiques - I'm lucky to have several stockists within easy travelling distance. I also saw a Seasalt dress advertised recently which I loved . Our local store had it and I bought it, it's gorgeous & called Helena.

Bought a lovely loose dress from Gudrun Sjoden a few weeks ago. Ideal with a long sleeved T-shirt for winter. Two of her models are quite old and look fab in her dresses

Just looked at their website and love the style, but not sure that the dresses would be warm enough for me during the Winter.

I,ve been looking for simple tunic dresses but haven’t,t found anything.I.m a bit bored of the midaxi with a lot of material in the skirts.If anyone can point me towards block coloured knee length or slightly shorter please help..

paddyann54 is this the sort of style you mean?

My go to place for dresses is Sahara, but always go down a size.
I like Toast, and East do some lovely dresses, very easy to wear, but a bit more evening.

If you are interested in a more sustainable ethical company you might like to have a look at Unfolded.
Reasonable prices.

I hadn't thought of looking in different areas! Do you look for specific brands in charity shops too or just what you like?
