Midi, loose fitting dresses

16 replies

Does anyone have a loose fitting dresses they’re absolutely loving just now? Where do you get them?

I’m 5ft 1 and between a 12 and 14. I follow someone on Instagram who is a similar body shape to me and always finds these beautiful dresses that I can never get my hands on.

No suggestions but interested to see answers.
A lot of the looser fitting dresses seem to be maxi which is not helpful for shorter women!

I have some tshirt dresses I love

AColdDuncanGoodhew · 17/06/2021 18:29

Yes to maxi problems, they’re always ankle length on me Grin

I'm wearing a Martina Innocenti linen dress today which is kind of loose but not shapeless iyswim. Finishes just on my knee.

It's an Italian brand so I think it probably came from TK Maxx a few years ago.

I do like a TK Maxx rummage for dresses as they tend to have lots of different styles. I can't do Maxi they just don't suit me.

H&M

Mango has some great ones at the moment (many just went on sale, so the sizes aren’t all in stock). Who is the instagrammer you follow so we can check the style? I might have more suggestions when I see (e.g. cos floaty dresses are a bit different from Hush ones)

I live in these sort of dresses and mostly buy them from SHEIN, Missguided, New look, river island, H&M and Nasty Gal.

I’ve got this from Thought, it’s wonderfully light and cool:

There's a brand called "made in Italy " that has lots of dresses. Usually find them in independent shops

I went into Seasalt to look for a different dress that I had seen on their website, then saw this. It sizes up large. I am a 10 or a 12, but ended up with a size 8!

It looks so much better on than on the hanger.

I have a few tiered/smock dresses from New Look that I live in on rotation- one black jersey, one white cotton with a navy check and one floral. Always get compliments on them!
