I need a long summer dress with sleeves - do such things exist?

[Bluebirdpies]

My office is really casual but quite hip at the same time.

I want to get a long summer dress so I can get my legs out without them being on show. Dare I say it a maxi-dress.

However I def need to have a bit of sleeve so my bingo wings don't scare anyone.

I'm a size 14 and 5ft 7.

Has anyone seen anything nice?

I don't think such a thing exists.
If it has sleeves it will probably be an evening style with sheer sleeves . Or a jersey style like halston heritage.

I know it sounds odd but if you got a plainish long dress and layered a fine t-shirt underneath, that might work. I bought a summer dress that is pretty but cut too low for me. I wear a tee underneath and it looks fine.

I've seen a few about but they're all pretty full on

this is very wearable but only in a 12 - not sure how the sizing comes up

DP they have a few more too

So, yeah, they're there. Finding one you'd like is the challenge...

I've spotted a couple while I was browsing for myself - all available in size 14.

Not too sure if it's what you're after, some are a tad pricey.
I really like the first dress, but being 5ft i can't quite pull off maxi's!

Hope this helps.

Fat Face

Not quite what you said, but something like salwar kameez for cool floatiness?

I do the maxi with little short sleeved cardigan on top look.

I've got the Fat Face dress that dexter73 links to - I'm 5'9" and a 12-14 and I really like it. I think it's very flattering as it's straight cut and simple.
