Long-sleeve dresses?

[Bernadine]

Is it just me, or are these hard to find?  Even through the winter, I feel like I'm always seeing sleeveless dresses.  I don't always want to wear a blazer or sweater.

Where should I be looking?

I wear long-sleeved dresses year-round.

I find a lot at Banana Republic outlet stores.

I got this one from old navy when they were having their sale last week.

Boden has some. I agree it's hard to find dresses that aren't sleeveless or 3/4 sleeve.

Sad, I thought this was for kids. I was like duh, Hanna Andersson.

Boden and Lands End for adults.

[stellas]

I love this one, but $200? Yikes!

How does Boden sizing run? Do they ever have sales? I've never ordered from there, but they do have some cute long-sleeve dresses.

Exactly. Most dresses I find are either sleeveless, three-quarter sleeved, or sold out. It's near impossible to find anything with a short or (cuff-length) long sleeve.

I like Eliza J dresses from Nordstrom. There are lots of long sleeved dresses in this brand. There are regular and plus size.

I ordered this one recently with a coupon code for $85.

They have 20% off with free shipping codes pretty regularly. I just search retailmenot before buying.

I'm about 3 sizes larger in Boden than Ann Taylor. I'd use their very comprehensive sizing chart before ordering.

I think it runs larger than most US companies (less vanity sizing). They have garment measurements on their website that I find really helpful. One problem with them is it takes 10ish days to come to you, and then if the size is wrong it takes 10 days to get back to them plus *another* 10 days to get the right size to you. Best to order 2 sizes and wait for the refund! Customer service is excellent though!

That tunic Stella posted is adorable, but I caution that in my experience when Boden calls something a "tunic" it's not long enough to wear to the office, unless it's like a sweater tunic over jeans on a casual day or something.

Try Lands End.

How about Macy's? I have a couple of INC dresses from there.

FWIW, I've worn size 14 or XL at Banana until more recently. The dresses are pretty generously cut.

I hope you find some. I hate sleeveless, so I feel you.

BR always has a good selection. My work is more casual, so I buy a lot at ON, Gap, Target to wear over leggings. Lots of shirt dresses and sweater dresses.

LANDS END!!!

I have one from old navy I have never worn. It still has the tags on and it is black dress with long sleeves and a pink belt. Let me know if you want it

[celeste]

The Gemma wrap dress from Banana is very flattering, especially in the geometric prints. It also seems to run a bit large, so you might not be sized out.

I find some at NY&Co, Marshalls, TJ Maxx
