Summer midi dresses

8 replies

I am looking for summer dresses (midi length), V/wider neck and something that is flattering when you’re small (height wise) but not petite (baby tummy and bigger boobs) and comfortable for running after kids! Any suggestions for brands or shops?! I want to buy a few so preferably not more than £100 each. Thank you for any ideas!

Bit overpriced but I've had a couple from Boden recently, I'm 5'3, size 14 and quite big of boob and tum, some of their V's are a bit low on me though so I need a vest under the navy one

I've been wearing dresses from White Stuff recently. Very comfortable and practical, while also being pretty. They have petite.

Anthropologie have some nice dresses at the moment.

M&S have some decent prints and do everything in petite, which makes a huge difference to how expensive you look. In the right way.

I’ve had some lovely one’s from Nobody’s Child. I’ve mainly bought them on vinted so a little cheaper. Nice v neck styles in bright colours, sounds like I’m a similar shape/size to you

Thanks all - I’ve ordered some from the suggestions!
