I need a few nice summer dresses for daytime, holiday etc.

Either short sleeve or sleeveless. Short-ish length. And not frumpy! And preferably with a bit of shape, I've tried too many sack-like affairs!

Any ideas? I am a size 12 with boobs, 5'3" tall. Where should I look?

I just ordered the Emily dress from fat face. Do it in quite a few different prints.
this one
Nice quality. Didn't suit me hip issues! but a nice dress all the same.

That sort of style looks a bit frumpy to me, sorry.

I quite like Henfield broderie shift dress at Fat Face though....

Joe Browns has some lovely ones in the sale - I have three in my basket so far.

The models photos on the JB website make everything look frumpy for some reason.

I don't like the dress, but I very much want a 'love tunic' kissmyheathenass [grin}.

Great Plains 'Oh Deer' dress is great - very thin cotton so good for summer days, very flattering neck and half price in sale:

Blueugg, can I ask how old you are? Please reconsider wearing that unless you're over the age of 50 Confused

That very one is very short in real life and very wide. Ordered my usual 12 and it was huge. I'd id sized down would have been far too short.
