Casual comfortable summer dresses (for holidays / travelling)

44 replies

Looking to get some lightweight casual and loose fitting summer dresses for overseas travel. In cotton or cotton / linen blend. For hot weather! And for such dresses not to be skimpy or overly revealing. And for me to be able to stride around, going up steps etc – so not slim fitting.

Am struggling a bit to find this holy grail of clothing (though have picked up one from a market stall!).

Any ideas as to where to look (have tried White Stuff, M&S and my local Tesco – my usual fall backs)?

Just to add to my rigorous requirements, I'm a shortie at 5'2".

Many thanks.

And- guess what - I have just managed to pickup some cheep and cheerful baggy lightweight casual cotton dresses from a market stall!!

A tenner each!

Have just checked the temperature of one of the places we’re visiting and it’s currently 114 Fahrenheit/ 46 centigrade- I literally cannot imagine what that will be like...

I bought this bargain from George at Asda. Roomy with tie waist, short sleeves hide the upper arms and the material is swingy but kinda heavy so it hangs well like a much more expensive item.

lovely and cheap

I - genuinely- had no idea there were so many lovely brands and cotton clothing out there. Clearly I need to broaden my clothing horizons...

OK - posting pictures of the market stall dresses. They ‘re actually quite nice but look like crumpled toddler dresses as photographed...

These are a cotton blend, super soft, lightweight. Great fit and a good price!

H&M have alot of these dresses this season.
