Help me find cotton/linen/silk maxi dresses

6 replies

On the lookout for some maxi (or midi) summer dresses for our upcoming holiday. Almost everything is viscose/polyester/etc. I want something airy and breathable!

I'm 5'9, size 18 with a waist. I need something with some shape and colour, that doesn't cost £500.

I like class="underline">aCm0hrbo6fwkWIY3zzeI4mnhviqlSnT143kVSd2vWkKcaAp3xEALw_wcB&gclsrc this, this, and this sort of thing. But everything I can find is either too small, polyester, or £££ - or a combination of the above.

I've ordered a couple of dresses from Boden and Monsoon. Anywhere else I can look? Any tips?

This brand seem to have their own website with more cotton dresses too, worth a look as all v cheap and they say 100% cotton

Onelifeclothing.co.uk have pure cotton dresses online. I have some of their tops/jackets and the material is lovely and soft.
Secret sales have cotton/linen dresses at the moment. Matalan is normally really good for cotton sundresses also and really inexpensive but I havn’t checked this year .

Viscose is a manmade yet natural fibre and 100% breathable

There are different qualities around, but it is mostly quite nice to wear (would not touch polyester with a barge pole!)

Thanks for all the tips, I'll have a look at everything mentioned.

Re viscose - I have a couple of dresses in the material and whilst nice and soft I find it a bit warm.
