Hello,
My wardrobe is full of jeans and tops, I have one skirt and two dresses which I don't wear.
I am 5ft 4" and I would like a dress that has a v neck or round (not too high neckline), knee length, fitted but not bodycon, flattering over the tummy area, pretty/interesting prints. Anyone seen any this summer? I am going away this summer and would like to occasionally wear a dress, casual or dressy! Thanks

Maybe a shirt dress? Gap have a nice chambray one, but it's plain.

Yes, try Gap. I've just bought 4 in the sale (only one is on line - the royal blue shirt dress) all are great. Can't find any trousers to fit me in there, but the dresses always work. Same height as you - I'm a 12-14 (I think - I'm not a big shopper!), but Gap always sizes big, I think.

I'm 5'3" and have THIS. I love it, it looks far more expensive than it is and is linen/cotton mix (no artificial fibres). I chucked the belt and bought a nicer one this in the coral colour which brightens it up and makes it look prettier. it's a great basic that you could "pretty up" with accessories if you felt it was too plain.

Lots like this in New Look, Warehouse and Oasis at the moment.

I like the Mango one. I'm after one pretty much exactly like that but in black.

I've just got this, I'm 5"2 and very busty/hourglassy. It's a nice length and I don't think it would be too short on somebody two inches taller. The neckline is quite flattering too - I look awful in high necked stuff! It's a bit drapey over the tummy area which I think is flattering. It says on the reviews that it comes up quite large so size down, although I got the size I am on my hips/use the tie to pull it in on my waist and it's nice and fitted on top - it's one of the few dresses that's ever fitted me all over that isn't jersey.

I bought this, but in navy (in-store) and I am your height. It's a good length, just above knee and the style is flattering on me.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I didn't even know Gap did dresses but I like the style of them. Love the print on the White Stuff dress and agree the Mango one is a good everyday....
