Where can I find nice linen dresses?

This warmer weather has got me thinking about what to wear on hot (and muggy) days which is comfortable and will keep me cool. I keep seeing women in lovely linen dresses but I haven't found many decent ones in the shops.

I am rather well endowed (32F) so some of the looser styles make me look like a tank. I did buy a two tone loose linen dress in Next for the bargain price of £26 but I had to buy a size 14 to minimise my bust. I don't mind sleeveless dresses as long as they are not strappy.

seasalt these are nice I have both colours.

Look better with heels though, unless you're tall.

I'm a 32g and they fit nicely.

I like those Seasalt dresses. How do the sizes run? I have a few White Stuff dresses in size 10, and in some places I need a size 14.

Standard size 12 and it fits well. I wouldn't get a 10 with your size boobs, it'd be squash city!!

Squash city is not a good look so I will definitely try a 12. I remember seeing a nice linen dress in BHS of all places a few weeks ago but the 12 was too snug on my boobs and I was too vain to try on a 14. Since then I have caved in on the size front and bought a 14 from Next, so I may see if BHS still has the dresses in stock. I also vaguely remember seeing linen Stuff in John Lewis called 120% some years ago, so I might pop in there. I think they stock Saltwater clothes too.
