I have a couple of these but with short sleeves which are good, but frankly after a few days eating on holidays, don't look quite as good......
And also would prefer not to have elastane in there as makes me hot as well as looking lumpy
Any advice???
Don't love my arms either but may have to just ignore that issue Grin

Like this type of thing. But not the material as want to wear in the day and it will be hot!

Mantary at debenhams are good for cotton holiday things.

Sorry Dinky wasn't paying attention. Do like Boden's cotton-lined cotton summer dresses for holidays but v expensive now so look out for them on Ebay.

Thanks! Will browse on eBay for some boden (or wait until Johnny sends me another discount code!) and will browse mantaray.
Surely it can't be this hard!

I nearly bought this the other day until I saw the back, but you may not mind it.

Does it have to have t shirt type sleeves or can it have spaghetti straps?

Dorothy perkins have some mainly cotton simple dresses, like this stripey one or this floral one and here's a stripey one with sleeves

all are 97% cotton/3%elastane and cheap Grin there me quite a few others too

scotswoman yes good dress... Till saw the back!! Would be paranoid about a bit too much flesh on show!

oak like that floral one and what a bargain! That's got to be worth a shot.
May try and pop in and try that one on. Will report back!
Thanks.
