…of sweater dresses. Never have never will. Apparently they are having a moment. Nope, not a fan. You?  |

I'm not a fan either. I don't think they are flattering on anyone. I don't think they are practical. If you get hot, you can't just pull off a layer.

Nopey nope nope. I do not care for them. I never think it looks good on anyone, and seems a waste of beautiful yarn and someone's time.

Well, when I was young & thin they looked good on me I liked them.
Maybe that goes back to when I was a child and would wear them with my patent leather Gogo boots and thought I was the best thing.

I loved them in the 80s when I was young and quite thin. They look great on tall, thin people. But they are not very practical.
I don’t care for the one pictured. It looks like a sack. The ones that were popular in my youth were much more fitted.

Not a fan of that one. Looks like a stretched out sweater. I have one and the design has a waist so it looks like a dress.

I had a gorgeous sweater dress when I was young. It had wide beige and black diagonal stripes. It was a mini and I wore it with black knee high boots. It looked so good on me and it was so comfortable. Every time I wore it I got lots of compliments. For some really stupid reason I got rid of it while cleaning my closet one time. I regret that to this day. It was one of my two favorite dresses that I have ever owned.
It did not look like the one in your picture. That one is ugly.

Nope, won't ever happen with me ... I have a boxy build and I look even more square in a dress like that ... I also don't need the added bulk.  I agree with a pp that they look best on tall thin people ... |

I don't mind them. I have a black one that is really comfortable and flattering.

They just always look like over sized sweaters to me. And too hot and bulky.
I bought a thin sweater dress/tunic from Boden years ago bc I got sucked in by their catalog and I think I’ve worn it exactly once.

I've had a couple that I've really liked, but I don't think I'd buy one now.

I wear them with leggings and booties in the winter - it is cold here. I think that they look good on me and I typically get compliments when I wear them. 🤷♀️ I’m 5’8” with a long legs.
I’d buy the one in the OP if it were in a different colorway. I need cooler colors.

I love them. Though the ones I own are much more fitted and dress-like not baggy/sack-like as the picture above. I wear them with boots and almost always get compliments. I hate fall/winter weather but I love my sweater dresses and boots.lol

I love the fabric. It’s not for me but someone else, probably.

I don't wear dresses ever, but if they looked good on me I would wear one, they look cozy.
I have a couple of students that wear them and they are adorable on 3-5 year olds!

I'm a big fan!! I've had some for 20 years & they're still in great shape. Pair them with boots and they look great. I've never had such a loose one like your first pic.

Well, I'm not a fan of the color, pattern and shape of the sweater dress you linked, but have loved them in the past.  My post-menopausal self prefers to be in tank tops and flip flops, so I kind of break into a sweat thinking about a sweater dress now, but really had some favorites back in the day. |

Oooh Amal looks great!
Ok I think maybe if they are more fitted and with boots I could be a fan.
But my peri menopausal temperature gage probably still isn’t lol

I’ve never had one but they seem like they’re oils stretch out a lot during the day.

When I was younger and much thinner, I had a pink one that I loved. It fit like a dress with a pencil skirt. The top had a knitted pattern and the skirt part was plain. I loved it. No way this plump body would get into a sweater dress now.

How are they any more impractical than any other dress or sweater? I have sweaters I wear all day long, not as a layering piece so I wouldn’t need to take it off.
I think they’re cute and comfortable. That being said, I wouldn’t wear one now because I don’t wear dresses.

Nope, not for me. Amal would look gorgeous in a burlap sack, but I start sweating just looking at a sweater dress.
