I need the mumsnettters help, I want a short dress for holiday, something for the evenings but comfortable too - it'll be worn with flat evening sandals.
I'm 14/16 as I've not lost my baby weight like I'd promised myself I would! 5'4 and F cup...suggestions please
Oh and budget is low around £30-£40!

I bought this today from oasis:
www.oasis-stores.com/gb/clothing/dresses/frill-front-chambray-dress/065353.html?dwvar_065353_color=23&position=171&cgid=dresses&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI54uOqcCI2wIV04bVCh2qxgSSEAQYAiABEgJ4-_D_BwE

I’m a 12 and FF and the 12 was too tight across the boobs but 14 fitted perfectly. It’s very light fabric so good for holiday but versatile enough to wear here too.

Sorry I'm being very descriptive, id like around mid thigh (as it's holiday so I'd wear shorter than in the UK).
First dress is an option although I'm worried my mum tum would show through, I think the oasis one is too high necked with my big boobs! Not sure on all the next ones I think they're a bit older style than I was hoping for (I'm 30)
Thanks for the suggestions though v appreciated!

I like River Island dresses, have a look online.

They also do a Plus section (not sure if start at a 14 or a 16 though).

They have some very cute short dresses that are suitable for your age.

Meant to add I'm 41 but bought a nice short dress from my local River Island it's a 12 but came in sizes up to 16 at least, it's sleeveless but you can fit a bra under without it showing.

Loads of cheap summer dresses on ASOS - have a look on there. Or try Primark?
