Desperately seeking daytime summer dresses!

I urgently need to find at least three dresses to wear this summer as I literally only have one summer dress at the moment. At this rate, I will have to wash it every night and dry it for the next morning!

I am 35, 5'6, size 14, 34E boobs. Dress can't be too short as i'm a SAHM, but i'd like it to be lowish at the front, as too-high necklines make boobs look huge. Fitted-ish is fine, would like it to skim the tummy. Practical, but pretty and not mumsy.

Normally, i'd head to Boden, and i've basically worn the same Boden summer dresses on rotation for about eight years now - but i cannot bear to wear them any longer! Boden stuff now seems to be garish patterns, viscose, poorer quality than it used to be, and frankly, bloody pricey.

High street stuff is going to make me look muttonish i fear.

Can anyone help me?!? Thanks, if you've got this far Grin

Agree Bike - am SAHM, and while i like to be well turned out etc, some of the Boden stuff is definitely work/function/going out stuff. Bless my DH, he merrily suggests i go off to TopShop, don't think he quite understands I am no longer 22 and bar-hopping! Thanks for the tips Grin

APA8-this thread is over a year old! I thought I was going mad when I couldn't get any of the links to dresses to work!

There are some nice dresses on this website but they're more expensive;
