Help me find a midi length cotton dress with sleeves. Not Boden

Because Boden is for small norms, and I can't fasten their dresses round my chest. A scoop or non high neckline would be good too. And proper short sleevea, not cap or butterfly ones

White Stuff
Gap
Phase 8

M and s - you can search the website by sleeve length and dress length

Orangeanddemons · 24/04/2014 19:13

I don't like White stuff. I've looked on Phase 8 but they are nearly all sleeveless. Not tried Gap, but M and S are fire. I've tried very hard to find this item in M and S with no success

Hmm.

Fat face?

Seasalt?

Sorry phone seems to have gone mad! I'm afraid I don't like those sort of surfy beachy brands like Fat face etc. I know I'm hard to please Grin

Fat Face. Just bought 2 lovely dresses yesterday, scoop neck, proper short sleeves. Smile

TheWoollybacksWife · 24/04/2014 19:27

This is very pretty fat face dress

twosmallbuttons · 24/04/2014 19:27

Oh x post Grin one of the ones I bought yesterday is not surfy beachy at all, quite understated blue with simple geometric pattern on hem.

A lot of these are a bit dressy but a wide range of lengths and sleeves

What about Nomad's clothing? There are some lovely dresses there at the moment.

Shallan · 24/04/2014 19:30

Ok you are setting us a challenge!

How about

Also john lewis or debenhams have good ranges....

Shallan you beat me to it!

East has tons of mid-length cotton dresses with proper short sleeves. It's practically their signature item! Some are frumpy but some are beautiful.

Saint Bustier is your friend if its a boob issue

BiuBiu is a cheaper option for the same thing but please bear in mind their photos are god awful (the clothes are actually really well-made). How about this for instance? www.biubiu.pl/en/sorel-emerald.html

ocelot41 · 24/04/2014 19:45

Or maybe this? www.biubiu.pl/en/gomera-rowanberry.html

Not 100% cotton though

Love this

MsAspreyDiamonds · 24/04/2014 21:35

Cos?

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 24/04/2014 21:38

I was about to link to & Other Stories, too. WIT has a cotton dress that has sleeves and is midi length. Comes in black or ivory. Beautiful quality, lovely detail. I am getting the top as am not tall enough to pull off the dress without being swamped.

BeattieBow · 24/04/2014 21:52

I looked for one of these all last summer. Did you look at seasalt? I got one there the year before (but had just had a baby so it's several sizes too big now).

I got a viscose one from next, but I can't stand the fabric.
