Show me the dresses you're wearing this summer

[Time2b33]

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

Early 40s, size 12-14.

Pictures and links all gratefully received

Just ordered that mango dress in red and also really like that next mini dress for £20!

@AuldFox

Great thread!

Has anyone bought a dress that doesn’t require ironing? I mean the kind you can crush into the bottom of your suitcase and it still comes out looking perfect? I don’t want to iron on my holidays!

I find that Boden jersey dresses usually don’t need ironing.

@mildlymiffed love that dress. Do you find the sizes true to size? I'm a 10 generally but sometimes a 12.

I’m wearing this today and it’s perfect for the weather. Cool and comfortable.

@zigzagaway

I have this one, very easy to wear.. [[https://www.apricotonline.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/36465/s/navy-ditsy-smock-midi-dress/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhsON-6328AIVEOh3Ch3KNAE]]EAQYASABEgIu--DBwE

Hi zigzag can you tell me what the hit is like please? I’m a 14/16 and 5 4” and wondering what size to buy

Thanks for the tip mammamia!

Any in particular AnnieSnap?

@mammmamia I’m going to order those dresses too! They are lovely.

Not much stock available unfortunately but possibly in store.

@Beautiful3 think the sizing is pretty accurate!

I like your taste @AnnieSnap :)

@mumsiedarlingrevolta and @TangoWhiskyAlphaTango, re the mango sizing. I’m a 12-14 Apple shape, and I got L, because it’s all there was. I’m 5ft1 and it’s down to the ground, but I just hoik up the elastic. The only drawback for the U.K. (I’m living in the desert) is that it’s very, very thin and the slits up the side are quite long, so you might not be able to wear it decently in the wind!

@ellapaella oh I do like that dress. What shoes do you wear with it?

@foxychox also like your one, again what shoes?! I'm so bad with shoes!

@Horehound - silver Supergas, mostly because I have plantar fascitis at the minute and they are the only shoes I can fit my insoles into!! Although they looked pretty good I thought!

@dramaqueen I'm also 5ft 4 and between sizes so went for the larger and its just right

@foxychox thanks. Yep they look cool. I am pregnant and have a bad back too so don't wear heels or anything so will give these a go :)

@EllaPaella sorry also meant to ask have you actually received the dress now? I did a quick Google and the company don't have much reviews and I dunno, seems a bit scammy?!

@Horehound not got it yet, There are reviews on trust pilot and they have an address for their company on the website. I paid my credit card just to be sure. I'll let you know when (or if!) it arrives.

Yes I did see those but wondered if they were real! Ok please do! Fingers crossed :)

I’m jumping in and adding that this thread has cost me a lot of money today!!!

I just bought the m and s o e posted below and umm if over this warehouse one that someone mentioned ...but, can someone tell me how to wear it for sunny day time wear? Can it be dressed down? It’s so pretty and I want but just not sure I’m brave enough. Cardi? Denim jacket? Trainers or sandals?
Here’s the link
www.warehousefashion.com/maxi-dress-in-cotton-with-frill/AWW00918.html

The blue & white short floral dress is £25 from Next.

The long stripy dress is £16 by F&F at Tesco.

Thanks, @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie - I am usually a 10, sometimes a 12, so I guess XS? I have quite a few Arket cardigans but they are S.

@Horehound

I like your taste *@AnnieSnap* :)

Thank you 😀

It seems mandatory to wear ditsy floral voluminous dresses at the moment.
I am v petite with big curly hair and just can't wear them - I fhink they look fab on very tall sleek haired tanned women but I fear I would look like a crazy lady
It's saving me a fortune though.
