Where to find cotton summer dresses for work

I've been to the shops for 4 hours
today to look for cotton or linen dresses that I can wear for work (smart casual office). I came home with absolutely nothing!

Where can I find these, does anyone know? I went in all the major shops hoping too get something of decent quality in the sales but found nothing, it was all polyester & similar which made me feel hot just looking at it!

I'm 5'3 so do find lots of dresses too long, I'm size 12 and find shift fitted style suits me well.

Thanks in desperation for any suggestions.

That's why cardis and linen jackets are a godsend!

East or John Lewis (who also sell East) do linen dresses.

Those H&M dresses are nice, but 100% polyester.

I have the blue Next linen one too! In fact I was at an event yesterday and several women were sporting the same dress!! Next have actually hit the mark with that one Grin

Also just bought this in 100% cotton from Joules in the sale. www.joules.com/Women/New-In/Julia/Pleated-Jersey-Dress/Coral-Spot?id=W_JULIA|CRALSPT
Very hard to find anything 100% cotton this season. Love the Seasalt one linked above!
