Thank you, I never think of next. Looks like all the nice plain ones have sold out but I will pop in on the off chance

Those next linen dresses are great - I bought a petite, but when I tried to buy another all the good colours were sold out 😥

They had plenty of the plain orange ,and plain navy
one in oxford street last week

I tried on a similar dress in Cos - I really liked it but the way it was cut, there was no room for my breasts. And they’re not particularly big. I tried sizing up but got to the stage where I looked like a galleon in full sail, there was so much fabric billowing around me, and my breasts were still a bit squeezed. So you really do need to try Cos stuff on!

Try Seasalt if you have one nearby, they have plenty of cotton and linen frocks, including some plain linen ones.

Or John Lewis? They generally have some plain linen stuff in their own brand ranges.

Thanks, I need to maximise my time today and buy cat food, get a bikini wax, comfie knickers, and buy a cotton dress. There should be an app for this

I agree Cos sizing is weird, I considered forking out for express shipping but came to my senses.

I'd seen that one before Naked and forgotten about it but love it! Do you have a link?

Search for colour block t shirt dress. Love that thing. Loose comfy flattering and loads of lovely comments from people. AND POCKETS!!

Nakedavenger74 · 06/07/2018 08:54

Sorry am I'm not in UK so can't get a EU site on google but search for those words and it'll come up. Loads of stockists and it's cheap as chips.

Sorry OP. Missed the 'need it today' thing.

Fat Face usually have great cotton dresses, if you've one near you.

I bought one of the linen dresses in Next yesterday in store (i already had two). There were loads left in all colours.

Floralnomad · 06/07/2018 09:18

Our local Next also had loads of those dresses left in multiple colours when I was in there yesterday . I’ve got a couple and they are really comfortable in this heat .
