( or too short? would have to try, model presumably amazonian)

A shorter version of the Jigsaw dress. The fabric is v thick, though www.zara.com/uk/en/trf/dresses/striped-dress-with-flared-skirt-c358031p2509505.html

I'm in bed w a hideous flu and this dress browsing is v cheering

Not liking the Ben Hur sleeves.

Get well soon, Belinda.

They are just too big, aren't they Remus? Thanks - being sick is dull.

I like that zaragoza fitted dress on the last page. Very nice.

Some of the denim ones look a bit shapeless tbh. The one with the belt was a bit better. They all have the wrong neckline for my boobs.

Re sandals I got some nice ones from m&s older kids range the other year, flattish and simple and comfy.

Zara dress wtf is my phone autocorecting Zara to zaragoza?!!

There is a toast dress that keeps popping up in an advert on mnet that looks nice.

Love the floral zara one, perfect shape for me, but the V neck isn't deep enough for broad shoulders/ big knockers

I have a marks denim dress bought about 3 weeks ago but not been warm enough It is very flattering on though even if the pic is iffy www.marksandspencer.com/tencel-embroidered-neckline-denim-tunic-dress/p/p22355466

I like that Noddy, but it would look hideous on me.

I kept looking at it and thinking that but it is very flattering on sort of skims and minimises boobs which was my worry.

This looks denim dress looks bloody awful in the photo but was actually quite nice in real life.

Don't know why I put an extra look in above post.
As for tan sandals a pair in Office called Oregon took my fancy though I will probably end up with Snoopy & Woodstock Havianas

Like the miss selfridge denim dress. My local miss s seems just to sell sequins

grrrr

I'm going to order the Next one. Am in Scotland so sleeves not a problem. It's a bit Hush-at-half-the-price.

I'm going to order the Dita one from Oasis. I am hoping that the belt will do something for me. And it can be shortened too. I am 5 foot 1 inch with a big bum and no boobs. Dresses are generally difficult, unless they're in a petite range.

Thanks all for doing the research!

White company did a very good school run dress a few years ago. Jersey, short sleeves, pull it on and go, type dress. I bought it in grey. I will keep checking their website for something similar.

The White Company used to be brilliant for basic dresses, but they don't do anywhere near as good a range now.

I can't get on board with frayed denim edges. Can't. Do. It.

I'm liking the shapeless denim sack look, teamed with a big jute bag and le specs sunnies, I'm en France! Bon marche avec aix en Provence! Mon dieu!

Yes I can!

This WC one is v pretty but hideously expensive for a cotton dress

Remus, I went for Esska India sandals again, this year in tan. They are unbelievably comfy.

I like those, Tethers. Expensive though. I don't like spending a lot on sandals as a) I don't get an awful lot of wear out of them and b) they seem to look tatty v quickly, especially if worn on the beach.
