Easy holiday dress for summer

It took me ages to find some candidates for this year that weren't off-shoulder and covered with frills or weirdness. Thought I'd share the ones I'm happy with (these could also be handy school run dresses Wink:

Zara striped - this is very simple and easy to wear. The 20% polyester is a shame but otherwise, great simple dress.

Zara tunic - again v easy to wear - maybe best for short people like me though.

Gap tank dress - also got it in navy marl.

Looks MUCH nicer on, and without the jeans!

I bought this today and it's lovely! Doesn't look anything near as nice as it is on the website. It comes up big so if you like it order a size smaller.

I have quite big boobs (30F) and got this in a size 6 (I am normally a 10!) and it fits really nicely. No side boob / bra showing either and you can cover bra straps up with the denim straps. Perfect length for anyone who doesn't love their legs and lightweight denim.

Minipie

Love that long blue gap dress and the sandals. Would go for both in a shot. Just bought the other day my first long summer dress for yonks.

These are more my pick for casual summer dress

Feel bad to have recommended the H&M ones above - saw them in the flesh yesterday and the quality is dreadful. They'd be ok for popping over swimwear on the beach but not much else.
