Midi dress, with a sleeve, plain colour not patterned - where would you buy this?

Sleeve can be short, 3/4 or long.
Not black, white or navy - I need a brighter block colour.
Particularly like wrap styles, but no shiny fabrics.
And I still want it to look a bit young and fresh, not frumpy .
I’m at a loss!

COS?

pandatracks · 02/06/2019 20:02

Or maybe uniqlo?

Warehouse always has a good range of summer midi dresses.

How are Warehouse fabrics these days? Lots of polyester in the past. I do have a nice linen midi dress from there from a couple of years ago so maybe I should look again...

Poetry ?

Finery has a reasonable selection.

Mango

Warehouse winter dresses seem to be polyester-tactic but they do quite a lot of linen and cotton dresses for summer.

DerelictWreck · 02/06/2019 22:33

Sounds like the seasonal Fatface style to me. New patterns every few months but same wrap dress style

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 02/06/2019 23:00

Lots in mango recently and finery if you want a bit more formal

CountFosco · 02/06/2019 23:25

Arket or Zara?

Nobody's Child as seen on Fearne Cotton .She was pictured wearing a white dress with black hearts recently. They have several wrap mini styles as well as lots of tea dresses online but can also be found on Asos. Great festival styles as well.

Aha! Mango has some brilliant options, thank you. I might order a couple to try. Am working my way through other suggestions - some are a bit too printed, I need plain ideally.

What’s your price range? ‘Simply Grey Life’ do beautiful handmade wrap dresses and you an choose the colour and customise the length as they’re made to order

Lambzig · 03/06/2019 20:12

I bought this which is really quite nice and unfrumpy.
