Just that really. I'm a Size 16 and want a lovely cotton swishy dress with sleeves to wear in the summer. Budget up to around £100-150

I have this, and love it, but I had to go two sizes down!

I also have this which a lot of us but had to go one size down. shop.mango.com/gb/women/dresses-and-jumpsuits-midi/printed-ruched-dress_87018634.html?c=70

I am a size 12 , 5"7 and an apple. Not sure how they will look on a pear as there is a lot of fabric in the skirt.

What shape are you?

Monsoon has some lovely cotton dresses with sleeves. They also have a sale on so you could potentially buy more than one with your budget Smile. I got a lovely maxi with long sleeves in a gorgeous green animal print.

Nobodys Child has lovely swishy dresses but they are viscose. I have this and it has washed very well, unlike some of my 100% cotton dresses. www.nobodyschild.com/lenzingtm-ecoverotm-black-and-white-spot-rachel-babydoll-midi-dress.html

@pinkcadillac - that Thought dress is stunning. Sadly, out of my budget as I'm on maternity leave but really beautiful

I would love this but it's over my budget ,it's from grassfields.

I like these - 100% cotton and some have a mid length sleeve

Me and Em 100% cotton dress, think there was 15% off first order. I bought it in green.

lazylinguist · 16/07/2021 14:39

Ooh I'd never heard of Libby Loves! I like this one .

@CushionsandCandles

That’s lovely. Particularly the blue version.
mrssmiling · 16/07/2021 15:10

Another vote for Aspiga and Monsoon.
Gudrun Sjoden has some lovely swishy cotton dresses…just depends if you like the style.

Kit and Kaboodal might be worth a look…some viscose, but some floaty linen ones too.

Popsy are sweaty polyester, not cotton which the op wants

CushionsandCandles · 16/07/2021 17:42

As well as the Aspiga dresses I have this.

Size 16 like you and hate my upper arms to its perfect. Washes and packs well but it's viscose.
Also tres swishy

@AFingerofFudge

For that budget I'd go for a Kemi Telford dress, they always make me happy!
I love the prints, but I’m reluctant to take the plunge because they look so voluminous. Have you bought many yourself?
EmmaStone · 25/07/2021 21:58

I've just bought this dress. It's lovely to wear, although unfortunately no pockets...

@AnnieSnap yes I have two of her skirts (no dresses though as they're a bit pricey and I need to save up!) They're not all voluminous; I have one of the two-panel ones and it is lovely without being too much material.

AnnieSnap · 26/07/2021 13:41

Thanks @AFingerofFudge. I’ll have another look 🙂

I'm fond of these two (which are actually cotton). They come in and out of stock

HarlotOTara · 26/07/2021 22:41

Pink city prints - tick a lot of your boxes OP

ChocolateRiver · 26/07/2021 22:44

Have a look at Pink Lemons boutique. It’s an independent Cornish company and they have some lovely dresses.

I love the idea of a silk dress made from a recycled sari. I wish they had them in another style though. The voluptuous prairie style is a bit extreme for me 😮

I haven't read the whole thread, but had anyone mentioned Kemi Telford? kemitelford.com/
