Casual Summer Dresses

Anyone seen any nice cotton or linen casual dresses for summer? I'm 5'2", size 10 hourglass, pale skin with freckles, blue eyes, short dark strawberry blond hair. Am planning my first foreign holiday since we had kids (eldest is 10) We're having a week in France in August (probably a couple of days in Paris visiting family then Eurocamping). No crewnecks, and must be able to wear a bra and prefer to have waist so I don't look like a small blob (tents would probably be belted). I don't like brown or yellow or orange or beige. I wear a lot of blue/red/green. Like the idea of maxi dresses but can't be too long because I'm short. Also like the idea of white broderie anglais but suspect they'd get filthy within minutes. Suggestions please oh wise ones.

I wear ‘mela loves London’ summer dresses I have one in every colour and pattern!

They are cinched in at the waist and just the right length for me and I’m the same height as you. I’ve bought about ten this year for my holiday!

I’m a size 8 but buy a 10 as they are very neat at the waist so maybe look for 12s

Try eBay and you’ll see loads of different styles and colours. You can get them in topshop and new look.
