I need to invest in some summer dresses to wear with white trainers or flat leather sandals.

Early 40s, size 12-14.

Update on my dresses: The green Next dress was way too big, as for everyone, so sending it back. May order it in a 10.

The Dorothy Perkins dress was hideous. So sorry to the poster upthread who bought it bcos of my link. Looked nice on the model! Going back.

Wasn't at all sure about this prairie dress from Nobody's Child but have got used to it and its very comfy, so am keeping it. www.nobodyschild.com/lenzingtm-ecoverotm-black-and-white-spot-rachel-babydoll-midi-dress.html

Realised I mostly like only very simple cuts and no frou frou puffed sleeves and gathers, so this Uniqlo dress suits me fine. And am buying it in navy too. Looks like a sack on the model but suits my apple figure. www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/product/women-smooth-cotton-french-sleeved-long-dress-433667.html?dwvar_433667_color=COL00&dwvar_433667_size=SMA001&cgid=IDmercerisedcotton2819&hassubcat=false

Update:
The & Other Stories dress has finally arrived (it took ages, apparently due to the Tour de France, which is right at the other end of the country... Hmm).
It's nice, well made, lined, with pockets...
However, as I thought, I just can't be arsed with the frills. They stick up on the shoulders, and remind me of this kind of outfit.

This frill-free dress, on the other hand, has appeared on their site. At least, I could swear it wasn't there before, but it's sold out in most colours.
