Help me find a maxi (or midi) dress

A floral one, in autumny colours I think. With long sleeves and I think a collar / buttons rather than round necked

I’m large of chest and not waifish

I’d prefer not polyester but budget is limited.

I’ve looked at the usual places, but hoping someone could suggest somewhere I might not have thought of

Thank you 😊

Apparently this is an Instagram sensation (according to the Daily Fail), polycotton but cheap as chips so might be worth a look.

I love that, Count. It's just like the ones I used to wear in the late 80s with DMs.

I've got this one - would never have picked it up but it came in a stitchfix box and is really flattering. Im a size 14 (the north end) and big boobed and have a size medium - again, wouldn't have sized down but it fits very well. I'm 5'5" and the frill is below the knee.

Pretty!

I bought this one today. It's sort of a cross between a midi and a maxi: longer at the back than at the front. Not the greatest fabric, but not hideous.

These two in cotton from m&s.

The next one is amazing ... I also have this Zara one which I love !!

Thank you all for so many suggestions. I went shopping today, to actual shops and I bought this from H&M. It’s not the exact thing I was imagining but it’s really nice. Loads of the type of thing around but so many nasty materials. This one is viscose but is soft and feels nice

I’m still going to hunt out the perfect orangey / brown one but it sees they’re very much The Thing at the moment so should find one sooner or later
