This dress???

[Jacksback]

I want a summery dress for work or lunch or quick drink in the pub
What do you think of this ? I feel as if I have lost my way a bit
Am blonde and big of nork ( and belly )
Would this work ? Maybe trainers or sandals ??

I like that too, except it's identical to my old secondary school summer uniform and would bring back too many nasty memories!

Oh hang on, I really like the chambray version...

I didn’t like it personally
Looks like a care home worker uniform

I saw a beautiful, linen-y dress at Muji that might suit your need, OP. It's a bit similar to those Hush ones posted above.

If you are wearing a dress like the one you've posted, OP, I'd wear very delicate, intricate sandals type footwear, to balance off the overall-y effect. I wouldn't wear trainers.
