Cotton midi dresses without frills!

[sunshinesupermum]

First world problems but why is it nigh impossible to find a print midi-length cotton dress without frills at a reasonable price ie £50 or less? Wrap dresses are a no-no too. TIA

The answer is always uniqlo!! 😎

Mango have some good cotton maxi dresses at the moment- I keep considering this one shop.mango.com/gb/women/dresses-and-jumpsuits-midi/flowers-cotton-dress_87065665.html

Unless you have boobs. I do like Uniqlo but their dresses are not flattering at all if you have boobs.

Pretty print and my favourite colours but a very unflattering voluminous shape even on a stick-thin model. Now imagine that with boobs and curves! I'm only a 12 but I know I'd feel enormous.
I don't understand these dresses; I want to, because I love the idea of them - but I don't get who they look good on?

If you do buy this one, size down! There a huge amount of material in this dress which doesn’t really show on the website

Thanks @Mitchellernie and @Whosaidit - glad I didn’t add to my basket then. So hard to find anything that is cotton but not tent like :-(

How about this? www.collectif.co.uk/clothes-c1/flared-dresses-c3/vera-nautical-stripe-dress-p16141

Or this from Joules: www.johnlewis.com/joules-audrey-floral-pocket-waist-dress-navy-multi/p5393808
I rather like this cheongsam style from Joanie as an alternative to all the prairie frocks in vogue at the moment: joanieclothing.com/anna-may-black-floral-midi-dress.html

I don't know if you would call this frill-free, OP, but still with Mango I really like this green poplin number

I'm coveting a few of these, buy one so i can get a vicarious buzz from it www.wearethought.com/clothing-sale/womens/

I got a nice one in matalan recently! I wouldn’t usually shop there, I’d popped in for some emergency baby vests because it was the only clothes shop near us open late. It’s really nice, 3/4 length sleeve and no frills at all!

Monki have a nice seersucker midi dress. Definitely size down.

WrongKindOfFace I have boobs too! Very limiting sometimes!

That Monsoon dress is too voluminous, sorry The Collective option has a deep frill and tbh am not into their 'vintage' styling The Joanie is a little different though.

Monki look good, thanks.

Not sure if tiers count as frills, but I'm wearing this today for the first time: www.johnlewis.com/and-or-bernie-jersey-dress/black/p5409910.

Feels lovely and comfy, but not too voluminous and it's proper cotton.

Following. So many of them are polyester or viscose or foofy!

Some look like old sacks, or they are ridiculously fussy.

There are some in Esprit:

There are a couple in Monsoon:

Viscose is a lovely summer fabric, feels like cotton, is largely made of wood pulp so semi natural even though it’s technically man made, completely different to polyester

I bought this mango dress in both colours after reading recommendations on here and I LOVE it, I’m a size 12 and I think I look slimmer than this model does!

I was impressed by how many dresses in there were sustainable cotton (even just cotton is so hard to find these days) and that one has pockets!

@whosaidit That may well be but it makes me itch in summer.
@QuentininQuarantino Ah so it's you who took my size 12 Mango dress. I needed that!

The link doesn't work. Which one is it, please?

I’m sorry, it’s because I’m not in the uk! But @MareofBeasttown that means I didn’t nab your dress!!

Lol. I think the heat is getting to me. I realised I was looking at the Zalando site instead of the Mango site. I snagged the dress ( in red). If I see a lot of women walking around in this dress, it will be like a secret MN password.

I can't wear viscose either, without sweating like a pig.
