Maxi dresses??

[cardamomginger]

Escaping the cold for hotter climes in a couple of weeks and having a bit of a wardrobe crisis. I want to get a couple of non-clingy, machine washable, maxi dresses, no more than £45 or so each? Any ideas?
I'm 5 ft 7, and usually a size 8-10, although I have some abdominal swelling due to surgery last month, which won't be going away any time soon. (Hence the maxi dress idea, rather than separates, and the non-clingy requirement.)
Be really grateful for any ideas! Thank you!

Got this from Hush today. I like it, and they do an 8.

Oh, I'm your height and it is just above ankle

my hush one is a few years old and still looks great for hols and super hot days here. it's this one, used to be £40 i'm sure! www.hush-uk.com/daywear/dresses/jersey-maxi-dress-whale.html

my other - and much more wearable in the uk - one is by velvet and was over£100 i think. it's a khaki jersey one. was worth it as I wear it much more than the hush one as more modest! but it is more of an initial investment.

The New Look website has some blinders on sale for under a tenner.
